She said Swalwell, who is married and 17 years her senior, tried to kiss her in her car when she drove him home from a donor meeting one night. Driving him to another event weeks later, she said Swalwell pulled out his penis in the car and asked her to perform oral sex on him. She said she did so in a parking lot.
In September 2019, the woman said, Swalwell invited her out for drinks and she became so severely intoxicated that she does not remember the rest of the night. She said she woke up naked in Swalwell’s hotel bed and could feel the effect of vaginal intercourse. She said Swalwell distanced himself from her afterward and the relationship faded.
Five years later, the woman said, she attended an April 2024 charity gala where Swalwell was honored. The woman, who no longer worked for Swalwell, said they met for drinks afterward, during which she became so inebriated that she only remembers snippets of the night, including pushing Swalwell away and telling him, “No,” while he allegedly forced himself on her.
The woman texted a friend three days later that she was “sexually assaulted” by Swalwell. She wrote in a series of messages reviewed by the Chronicle that she had “blacked out” but “woke up once during it and even told him to stop at one point.”
“This happened one other time when I was working with him, but I convinced myself I was an equal party in it even though same pattern: I blacked out and he had sex with me,” she wrote, referring to the 2019 incident.

Bracing for him to make the conversion to right wing grifter
I am so tired of these politicians, billionaires and whoever else that think they are above the law. News flash you aren’t and thinking that way just shows how dumb they are
Wow.
First thought- this is so disappointing, I thought he was a good guy.
Second thought- oppo from Porter or Steyer.
To be clear- I believe and support the staffer coming forward.
I will never understand these trash ass men who enjoy fucking unconscious women. Scabs.
Literally nothing surprises me anymore. They’re all trash.

Immediately no. I don’t care how many times he dunked on republicans in front of cameras for clout. I don’t even care if he did anything genuinely good in his tenure in office. No free passes for these shitheads.
Swalwell comes from a police family. These fuckers really do think they are above the law.
I used to work in politics in DC (did oppo on Steyer and Porter for various races as well) and had friends all over the Hill. Swalwell was known for constantly cheating on his wife and being a frat boy-style sex pest who would hit on anything that moved. I 100% believe these allegations against him and any other victims that come forward.
Honestly and sadly, there really isn’t one single story about anyone that can shock me anymore. Okay, maybe Tom Hanks. 😬
Seriously, doesn’t matter what the topic is and who it’s about. I truly am numb to the flood of awfulness.
Which is to say, the bad guys are winning.
Isn’t his brothers cops? It’s hard enough to report anyway with knowing it’s a senator with a cop family

Holy crap, Steyers odds on Kalshi went up to 60%. Dunno when this news broke but Swalwell was at about 70% a month ago. Now 14%.

Just what we needed, a 68 year old billionaire.
If you ever saw Swalwell for one second and didn’t immediately peg him as a hollow creep, get your bullshit detector recalibrated.
OK, fucking sucks to see this, but if it’s true, he can get fucked. I’m so sick of this shit.
See how easy that was? It helps when you don’t have the face of the guy you voted for tattooed on your asshole.
Sarcasm reply: Let’s fast track this man all the way to President!
Real reply: Let’s fast track this man all the way to the dumpster!
This governor race is such a fucking mess. I have no idea who to vote for at this point.
If he switches parties, he’ll get himself a pardon.
Apparently this was a huge open secret for years. Surprised it didn’t come out earlier
Kinda crazy how many people on r/politics are saying the accuser is lying. Multiple women have come forward and are collaborating his sex pest behavior. They are all questioning the victim and its really sickening.
Welcome to Election Season. Let the Games begin!
I simply can’t believe a politician would behave this way
Noooooo not him 😑 this is why we can’t have nice things

straight to the trash
Three other women are referenced in the article as having the same type of experience with him, including pretty obvious signs of them being drugged so he could rape them
Suddenly republicans will be sanctimonious about SA.
Imagine what the world would be like if men didn’t think they were entitled to get their dick wet whenever they want. Imagine!

My prediction is that all votes will be for a republican. About time for some Karna for the stupid jungle primary scheme.
