If I were gonna guess which Dem was a creep - he’d be high on the list.

It’s a rhetorical question, I know, but still. Appreciate your posting this, as unwanted as this news is. Mrs DB told me she read about Roger Stone involvement-the original dirty tricks guy who got Gary Hart on the Monkey Business with not Hart’s wife. Swalwell is a big target on TACO’s retribution list so why would he do this? 🤦‍♂️

What is it with powerful men, that they have such a determination to deceive their family & associates, while dominating, raping or controlling much younger women? (Seems it’s usually women: not men)

If it is really not true he should go to court and sue the women and prove there is no corroboration. Otherwise he is what they say.

We can assume these allegations are true, unfortunately.

She said she initially reached out to the congressman on Twitter to discuss politics. “I truly never thought he would respond – I had like 1,000 followers at the time,” she said. “And he actually responded.”

Swalwell denied the women’s allegations.

1 woman who connected online with Swalwell over her interest in Democratic politics says she ended up extremely drunk in his hotel room after a night out with the congressman, with little memory of what occurred. Earlier in the night at a bar, he kissed her & touched her leg without her consent.

She said it was the second time had sexual contact with her while she was drunk. In 2019, when she was still working for him, she said she woke up naked with him in a hotel after a night of drinking. She said she had no memory of what happened but could feel physically they’d had sexual contact
