Eric Swalwell’s political career is over, but his career in “politics” doesn’t have to be, especially if he takes a cue from Hillary Clinton. The hildabeast is alleged to have promised to take everyone with her if she goes down for anything. That hasn’t happened yet, and her advancing years are as much a shield as the mountain of dirt she could reveal.
Swalwell’s a California Democrat, and California is as swampy a one-party state as it gets. There are mountains of dirt, including the likelihood that just about everyone knew, for more than a decade, about Swalwell’s less-than-stellar treatment of women (Democrat, women – if that matters).
Longtime East Bay journalist Steven Tavares, who has covered Swalwell since his Dublin City Council days, stated on April 12: “I’ve covered Eric Swalwell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party.”
They looked the other way as long as Swalwell offered access to political power.
Democrats elevated Swalwell with endorsements and soft coverage. Only when his scandals threatened to sink the entire Democrat ticket in the wide-open 2026 race to replace Gavin Newsom did the machine discover sudden “accountability” and cut him loose.
If you watched the most recent GrokTALK! I guess a few things were wrong, but the gist of it was correct. Social media posts standing up for women, #BelieveWomen, paint themselves falsely, as does his entire party, as there to support and defend women, especially if they have a penis.
I’m still confused as to why it all still works, especially the recent rise of rabid female fundamentalist lefties, grabbing any bit of dogma as gospel despite the left’s record on both sides of this issue. False accusations while hiding their own bad behavior.
During the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, he demanded that every accusation be treated as truth, pushed for public spectacles, and helped whip up a mob of presumed guilt. He weaponized sexual misconduct claims as a partisan club against Republicans.
And the women inside the party protect the candidates and the brand. They are potential victims themselves, and they bring in young women like madams, knowing they are targets for men like Swalwell.
Katie Porter (another shitshow with baggage) probably knows or suspects, but she is the most likely beneficiary of his 14% of the polling that’s now up for grabs. Another cog in a party machine whose culture looks the other way when women are suffering from assholes like Swalwell, fertilizing the ground for more just like him.
Swalwell can threaten all the lawsuits he likes, but if he wants to work a revenge streak, his own party did this to him for its own political gain, and he has to know where some skeletons are buried.
It’ll appear petty, and his targets would paint it as misdirection or distraction, but we’re not talking about purple or swing districts. Many parts of California are the ideological equivalent of Iran. There is a long list of “qualified” assholes to replace the that get smeared. Taking one out doesn’t affect the overall patina of a district. It stays blue, which, I have to say, exposes a big picture problem.
The party of women voters doesn’t hold their own party responsible for ignoring serial sex offenders. The #beleivewomen schtick isn’t just a virtue signal. It is serial fraud up and down the party ranks to hide a party full of rapists.
Eric Swalwell should consider opening the barn doors so everyone can see and smell what else his party is shoveling.
