Why now?

Why wouldn't the Democrat Elites have discovered this earlier?

One of Eric Swalwell's finer moments in Congress:

Lfthndcuck will, of course, ignore the fact that this will be found unacceptable by the Dems while it would have been a shoulder shrug for Repubs like him.

In any case, where are all the questions like 'why is she speaking out now after so long?' that s*^%bags like you ask every time a Repub is accused of this?

It's only because other Dems are running in this primary. Dems supported KKK dressing gov. Northam. They supported and still support Jay Jones. The party that constantly screams, "They're Nazi's!!!" about Republicans support Graham Platner, who had a Nazi tattoo on his chest for decades. I could go on and on ...

So why don't you STFU, shht stain.

Your use/support of government propaganda. You are quick to jump to defense of murderous ICE agents literally every time they kill someone else. You spread their demonstrably false narratives as quickly as they can fabricate them. You even make up some of our own lies to support the cult of Trump or to detract from the opposition.
Your persecution of transgender people is straight out of the NAZI playbook. You have expressed support barring them from public life through the use of bathroom policies that put their safety at risk. You clearly would have supported how Nazi Germany enforced paragraph 183.

That's just a couple of your Nazi behaviors that quickly jump to mind. There's probably more than I'm not thinking of right now.

Its really how blind the Democrat supporters like the Lumpers have become. They can't even look at it for what is really going on.
You mentioned "intelligence" and knowledge as a means to fight propaganda, would you say the Lumpers in the thread are "intelligent"?
I claim they are, they just rationalize their positions as "fighting nazi's", because who wouldn't want to fight nazis.

The real question is why Swalwell is only being asked to drop out of the race? Why now?
All the Nazi talk is a deflection, or what people do with cognitive dissonance.

But they will run around screaming Trump said "grab them by the -----" all day everyday, they can't believe someone central on their team would just whip it out.
So they avoid the issue.

The Democrat party is run by the Elite; this is just an example of how it operates.

Dems don't care who does the electing, so long as they get to do the nominating.

Jeffries, Pelosi and other Democrats call on Eric Swalwell to end governor campaign
www.politico.com

... House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and former Speaker Nancy Pelosi headlined a growing list of Democratic lawmakers called on Rep. Eric Swalwell Friday to withdraw his campaign for California governor amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

"This extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability," Pelosi said in a statement. "As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign."

In a joint statement with other elected House Democratic leaders, Jeffries called for a "swift investigation" as well as the end of his pending campaign.

"This is unacceptable of anyone " certainly not an elected official -- and must be taken seriously," the leaders said. ...

Luna moves to oust Swalwell from House over assault allegations
www.newsnationnow.com

... Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) on Saturday said she would file a motion to expel California Rep. Eric Swalwell from office, after the Democrat was hit with sexual assault allegations.

"I am filing a motion to expel Eric Swalwell from Congress," the Republican lawmaker wrote on social platform X. ...

Expulsion is the most serious consequence a member of Congress can face, and it requires a two-thirds majority vote in the House. Only 6 members of the House of Representatives have been expelled in U.S. history -- with former Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) being the most recent, after an ethics review found he misused campaign funds and falsified his background. ...

It isn't an accusation if it's an accurate observation.

Are we not to believe he's a Trumper when he constantly condones, deflects for and defends Trump's actions? Considering Trump ticks most of the boxes of a classical fascist, is it not then accurate to say pedoringer is a classical fascist supporter?

Fact is Democrats have integrity and Swalwell is out.

If the women accusing him of rape want to press criminal charges, no one is stopping them.

Meanwhile you pedophile protectors are still denying Trump has committed any wrongdoing at all, ever.

Swalwell was the front runner. Doesn't matter. He got credibily accused of sexual assault and now he's lost his endorsements, had his money pulled, and there are loud calls to resign.

IDK, somewhat agree, I think the SoCal Dems are running things now that Pelosi has stepped back.

They also probably had this dirt for at least a decade.

The way CA elections work is the top two in the primaries run off in the general. Democrats never thought two Republicans would be at the top, because they aren't too bright.

There's a lot of crabs in the D bucket so, the Porter I guess called in her tokens. Be interesting to see what the next poll says. If Porter doesn't go up but MattM San Jose's mayor does alot better, they may still not have a D in the general.

MSM have significantly higher rates of syphilis and gonorrhea compared to heterosexual men, and these rates are rising.

... Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office on Saturday said it is investigating Rep. Eric Swalwell, the front-runner in the crowded California gubernatorial race, in connection with a sexual assault allegation from a former staffer, multiple outlets reported.

The former staffer alleged that after a night of drinking with Swalwell in New York City in April 2024, she woke up in a hotel bed to him having sex with her, CNN reported. She was not working for the Democratic congressman at the time of the incident.

"We urge survivors and anyone with knowledge of these allegations to contact our Special Victims Division at 212-335-9373," Bragg's office said in a statement obtained by the outlet and NBC 4 New York. "Our specially trained prosecutors, investigators, and counselors are well-equipped to help you in a trauma-informed, survivor-centered manner." ...
