Carol Platt Liebau: Seeing Swalwell Clearly
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
Congressman Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign for governor of California. Then, the very next day, he abruptly resigned from Congress.
This followed a cascade of accusations involving sexual assault, misconduct, and unwanted, inappropriate messages.
Clearly, the Democratic establishment wanted Swalwell out. The entire episode unfolded in a matter of days.
But what’s most striking is that, by all accounts, people in political circles knew about Swalwell’s behavior for quite some time. Political insiders, journalists and left-wing influencers admitted this much on X. It was, apparently, an open secret.
And yet, no powerful Democrats acted until Swalwell’s candidacy became a liability in the governor’s race. Then, suddenly, his candidacy was done. And then he was gone from the House.
All in a matter of days.
What a complete failure of moral, professional, and ethical responsibility — all the way around.
