A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.

Let me put it this way. These allegations if true, are deplorable. But if a woman is doing the incredible harm of false allegations people are too programmed to question the woman. This becomes a quag. And I personally believe any woman using this is besmirching women who truly have been assaulted.

I can't read the article, is the person named or anonymous? If anonymous, if she materializes and says it, I'll listen.

I'm not disregarding her claim but congress elects member every 2 years. He was okay as a rep in 24 but not for governor this year?
I live east coast, don't know what he's done in CA.
Personally, he wouldn't be my pick and I'm pretty left.
I also wouldn't pick Newsom for prez.

You should read the article. It's good reporting that covers a lot of bases and answers a bunch of questions you may have.

There's contemporary evidence in the form of text messages to her friend describing the rape.

CBS is reporting: The influencer behind viral allegations against Eric Swalwell has academic and political connections with UC Irvine Law professor and rival candidate Katie Porter. However, the former congresswoman denies any direct relationship.

Everybody in CA politics has connections with everyone else in CA politics. This is like saying two people on the same team are on the same team.

This is a different victim, who came forward after seeing the rumors about the other victims. By my count, there are at least three.

He needs to drop out ASAP. We donā€™t have time for this shit. The idiot dems in our idiot state created the jungle primary to elevate ā€œcentristā€ candidates and now we may have 2 extremist repubs at the top of the ticket. Stupid dumb dem party. So incredibly short-sighted and stupid.

The CA Democratic Party opposed the jungle primary. So did the CA Republican Party. This was foisted on the state by "independents," newspaper endorsements and voters.
