Really not that shocking that this guy had more skeletons in his closet besides Fang Fang. Trump is really going to rub this one in on him, and I honestly don't blame him for doing so, given the **** Swalwell pulled with him.

Swalwell campaign imploding after new sexual assault allegation
Quote:
The exodus, which began just before the San Francisco Chronicle published a report detailing a former staffer's claims, jolted California's marquee race just weeks before ballots start landing in voters' mailboxes. The former staffer told the newspaper that Swalwell had sexual encounters with her while working for him, and that he sexually assaulted her twice when she was too drunk to consent.
Top staffers departed the campaign shortly before the story published. Soon after, Rep. Jimmy Gomez said in a statement that he was stepping down from the campaign and urged Swalwell to leave the race a stunning rebuke from a key surrogate who had helped introduce Swalwell to power players in Sacramento, where Gomez served in the state Assembly.
"Today I learned shocking information about Eric Swalwell containing the ugliest and most serious accusations imaginable," Gomez said in a statement. "My involvement in any campaign begins and ends with trust. I cannot in good conscience remain in any role with this campaign, and I am stepping down from it effective immediately."
The fallout extended to prominent interest groups that had backed Swalwell. The California Medical Association, which has dropped more than $1 million into a pro-Swalwell committee, said it was convening an emergency board meeting. The California Teachers Association rescinded its endorsement.

Former staffer of Eric Swalwell says he s*xually assaulted her twice, says she woke up in his bed with no clothes on.
The first incident reportedly took place in 2019. Swalwell has been married since 2016.
The woman says she was hired at the age of 21. At one point in 2019, Swalwell pulled out his pen*s and asked her to perform oral s*x on him. She did so in a parking lot, according to the SF Chronicle.
Later that same year, the former staffer says she was invited out for drinks with Swalwell. She says she became so intoxicated that she does not remember the rest of the night.
She claims she woke up with no clothes on in Swalwell's hotel bed and claims she could feel "the effect of vag*nal intercourse," according to the SF Chronicle.
In April of 2024, the woman, who did not work for Swalwell at this time, attended a charity gala where Swalwell was present.
The woman says she became "inebriated" while getting drinks with him after and can barely remember the night. She says she told him "no" as he forced himself on her.
The woman says she was s*xually assaulted by Swalwell. She says she "blacked out" but "woke up once during it and even told him to stop at one point."
The woman's friend and then-boyfriend say she told them about the alleged assault the next day.
Swalwell has denied the accusations and has since sent a cease-and-desist letter.
The representative previously said in 2018 that alleged victims "deserve to be heard."
