There are serious differences between the two parties. Democrats withdraw support from a fellow democrat when credibly accused of sexual misconduct. But a GOP president who has been credibly accused of pedophilia can even start a serious war and the GOP refuses to check him.
They aren't called cuckservatives for nothing.
It's worth pointing out that there must be proof beyond allegations here, but so far that's all we have.
I don't know anything about Swalwell beyond that he's running for governor, possibly making him a smear target by his opponents.
If he's guilty then lock his ass up. But that takes proof. Makes me wonder what Ruben Gallego knows since he flipped from supporting Swalwell to pulling his endorsement over the past few days.
It's more than allegations, this person worked for Swalwell, people saw them together, theres copies of texts they sent a friend at the time saying Swalwell assaulted them, and medical records showing this person got a pregnancy and STI test around that time too. It's circumstantial evidence and not smoking gun stuff, but it's more than just allegations.
This seems more like an “if Trump can get away with it, so should I” moment than an Al Franken moment.
Anyone who is not pro-Israeli is being attacked by the mainstream press
Hasn't he taken AIPAC money?
Yes he did… fuck that guy
Timing is reeeeeeeally suspicious. Could have happened literally any time, but they chose the kickoff of the primary?
More information required, because so far it sounds like a coordinated attack on a candidate
Of course if this beard fruit he should withdraw. But judgement should be held for now
Not really, could be that this person just hoped this would go away and tried to forget about it but when they saw his name in the news and realized he could become governor and do what they claimed he did to someone else they felt the need to act
Huh? He’s already a US senator, I don’t follow your logic.
Well, he's a representative, not a senator. Not nearly as much power and influence as a governor would have.
