Swalwell ripped for changing his tune on how sexual assault victims 'deserve to be heard'

California gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., is facing backlash on social media after it was reported that his lawyer was sending cease and desist letters to Swalwell's accusers a day before multiple bombshell allegations were published Friday.

Swalwell, who once called on lawmakers to hear out women raising allegations against Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh during his 2018 confirmation hearings and said they "deserve to be heard," is now being slammed for hypocrisy.

"I saw continued demeaning of victims of sexual assault, people who deserve to be heard, people who deserve their allegations to be investigated and a president who wants to rush this through," Swalwell said in an interview with MSNBC at the time.

"And, so, for Brett Kavanaugh’s sake, if he is innocent, I hope tomorrow he opens his statement and says, ‘You know what? Bring in all the victims, all of them to be questioned.’ That will clear his name if he is indeed innocent."

Eric Swalwell led a campaign against Brett Kavanaugh in 2018. It came back to haunt Swalwell.

SAN FRANCISCO -- U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell has suspended his campaign for California governor following sexual assault allegations, announcing the decision Sunday as scrutiny intensified around the Democratic primary race.

In a statement, Swalwell said he would step aside to address the claims.

"To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made - but that's my fight, not a campaign's."

What did they know about Eric Swalwell? It was an open secret.

Pretty gutsy (or moley) for hardluck to post that with only 784 DUmp posts.

You should be embarrassed that your party and forum are so detached from reality.

They can't. They're too detached from reallity to recognize they're disconnected from reality.

Imagine this level of bigotry being shown to Muslims.

That's about all you can do, is IMAGINE it. Dog knows leftist scum do not possess the testicular fortitude to do anything like unto it.

I was wrong about Noisome being able to appoint someone to serve the rest of Swillwell's term:

Newsom announces election to fill US Rep. Swalwell's seat set for Aug. 18

(The Center Square) - The special election to fill the seat of U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-California, will take place Aug. 18, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Tuesday afternoon.

Swalwell resigned Monday after allegations of sex abuse that also led him to quit as one of the Democratic frontrunners in this year’s gubernatorial race.

Swalwell represents the traditionally Democratic 14th Congressional District, which includes the East Bay area near San Francisco.

The election will determine who will have the seat for the rest of the 2025-27 term. Congressional terms always begin and end on Jan. 3 of the year after an election.

US edges closer to popular vote deciding winner of presidential elections


Quote
A national majority vote for president is one step closer to reality after the Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger, signed the national popular vote bill into law, joining an interstate compact with 17 other states and the District of Columbia.

Under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, states would assign their presidential electors to the winner of the popular vote, regardless of the results within the state. The compact takes effect when states representing a majority of electoral votes – 270 of 538 – pass the legislation and thus would determine the winner of the presidential contest. With Virginia, the compact now has 222 electors.

Every state that has so far enacted the compact has Democratic electoral majorities, including California, New York and Illinois. But legislation has been introduced in enough states to reach the 270-elector threshold, including swing states like Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

This one may be thread worthy.  The article mentions two likely Constitutional arguments against this but it still seems to me that such an act would require an amendment, not just a bunch of states agreeing.
