If Swalwell was GOP, it would be just another day at the office. Regardless of party, he needs to face the necessary consequences if he's guilty.

Because Democrats have been known to eat their own at the drop of a hat.

Because most of the mainstream media is owned by maga so they aren't going to report on Trump and Epstein and who knows how many of them are in the files

Because Swalwell is a Democrat, and the top offenders in the Epstein files are in the WH.

And Dems alway react the say they are. Where were these women before Swalwell decided to run for Gov.??? They got rid of Al Franken because he was coming after the GOP and now its another Democrat.

Just the way Republicans planned it!! Throw some cash around to come up with a story to distract from Iran and Epstein! After the media showing us all that they're a bunch of cowards I'll never give them the benefits of the doubt again 🤷🏾 show me the evidence!!

I think it's because the Epstein story is a reminder of the powerful people we can't hold accountable, while Swalwell's story is a threat to the powerful people we can

Because the Swalwell story is news and “Epstein files” has basically just been turned into a buzzword by idiots on social media tweeting it every second of everyday until it became meaningless?

Why didnt Swalwell make national news when it was discovered that he was sleeping with a Chinese spy for years? Why didnt his party hold him accountable back then?

this shines a neon BEACON on the fact that the two “parties” are NOT the same. GOP ELEVATES a CONVICTED MULTIPLE sex offender and 34x convicted fraud AND ignoring his DECADES of documented DEBAUCHERY… and DEMS say GET TF OUT of here even as the first TRICKLE of evidence is put forward.

It serves to HIGHLIGHT the extreme difference in how DEMS hold their own accountable in ways the pedo protecting GOP NEVER HAS.

I realized today what Kristi Noem's husband's pic with the big boobs reminds me of ~~ The Weather Girls... they sang "It's Raining Men", from the 1980s. 😂One lady had enormous boobs!

That isn't the only thing Trump's odd behavior the weird things he's saying, including he's gonna take sovereign nation, such as Cuba. He is completely ill and not a word from the mainstream media.

Where was this story before Swalwell decided to run for Governor???
Kinda looks like a setup doesn't it?
The Epstien files and the aprox 30 women who accused trump of sexual assault were around long before he ran for president .
You didn't care then, in fact the right admired him for it.

I'm sure I'm repeating other comments but is it because everyone just assumes "Christian" white elderly conservatives are going to be completely d9gsh1t humans?

If he was a Republican you would know the outrage. Team members get treated the same in team with a moral core. Pick which side you wish to be on. Abusers of women come in both parties. Disgusting to defend.

I'm starting to wonder how much stuff control Trump really has over the media, I know Fox "News" licks his ball every night, News Max ain't any better, but CNN and NBC - they had more stories about Coachella than Epstein over the last week.

For the same reason the press chased every mispronounced word of Biden's and pretends Trump is just being Trump and sane-washes his behavior

I keep coming back to this: Swalwell is a tidy villain story. Epstein is a network story, and networks reach boardrooms.

It gives them five minutes to breathe, then an excuse to amplify their hypocrisy, i.e. deflect deflect deflect. Anything a dem does that’s horrible is immediately the kkk’s shiny new toy.
