Rep. Eric Swalwell has resigned from Congress following sexual assault accusations & calls for his expulsion: “Expelling anyone in Congress without due process, within days of an allegation being made, is wrong. But it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted from my duties.”

Yeah so I’m starting to think those allegations just might be true
He did it for sure lmfao
“I don’t want to expose myself to discovery so I’ll run away and hope they leave me alone”
Wait, when does the house majority go? Weren’t we at 1 margin?
Now do Gym Jordan
So the democrats lost a number, no justice will be done as he begins to run away from the spotlight, and the gop gets stronger.
Another banner fucking day in the US
wow! how the hell did he get away with this for so long?
Hey look, party accountability. Refreshing.
There were definitely more than four women.
This is exactly what someone guilty would say. People who are innocent fight this. Him resigning screams “I don’t want a hearing and I don’t want to be asked questions”. This is three separate staffers AND Kevin McCarthy was on the news saying EVERYONE in Congress knew to not have female staffers around Swalwell. I’m angry if the latter is true because it means people knew he did shit like this and said nothing for years.
Oh he’s going to jail. Good riddance!
It certainly would indicated that Eric Swalwell raped those women
Couldn’t have happened to a worse individual!
Good riddance
He literally says he did stuff and he didn’t do stuff in the same breath. A bad way at writing it, but he is saying ‘you don’t know what I’m apologizing for and I won’t tell you, unless you know’.
He’s my representative and I’m glad he’s gone.
Good riddance!
At the very least he did the proper thing and stepped down. It’d be nice if the other party could do the same when scandals pop up.
Tony Gonzalez still needs to go. If Swalwell had a shred of decency he would point this out
Wow another politician turned out to be a sexual predator? Shocked!!
Just read on Twitter ( well, X) that a new accuser will be holding a presser in Beverly Hills tomorrow!
Meanwhile the rest of the scumbags continue to govern….
How soon will he be grifting as a right-wing podcaster?
*multiple allegations
He sounds guilty
And nothing of value was lost
Bye Swallowell
Republicans take note: this is the ethical thing to do. Not fight, not wait for an investigation or wait to be told to resign. And this is the case whether you are guilty or innocent. It’s called putting your constituents, your party and your country before your own desires and career.
This is so upsetting because the #1 person with the most allegations of abuse /misconduct you make it, is not even bothered by it.
Good riddance! Now if guilty THROW HIM IN JAIL!
Trump next.
i’d rather us expel and prove wrong and reinstate.
this goes across the board for politicians.
This escalated quickly…
Clearly not a part of the Epstein Class.
You don’t resign if there isn’t at least some truth to the allegations.
“PS I’m definitely a rapist”
“I am deeply sorry that I got caught”
Fixed it for him
Does he have to give the AIPAC money back?
It’s nice to see a resignation. However, I hate that a certain party is full of people with just as bad allegations and worse things and they refuse to step down.
Thanks Swalwell for having an iota of humiliation to step down.
WE DID ITTTTTTTT!!!
Bye.
Republicans, your turn.
If he was republican he’d be there 2028 candidate
“it’s also wrong for my constituents to have me distracted?”
What the actual fuck?
Dudes a scumbag.
To prove my innocence, I’m quitting! Yea..go with that.
It’s not okay to be a pervert.
