Eric Swalwell exposed for sexual misconduct; Katie Porter worse? 

California Democrats are bringing their dysfunction to prominent national attention. Over the weekend, allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced against Rep. Eric Swalwell, one of eight different Democrats running for governor of California. Swalwell is known for his bombastic, anti-Trump, resistance-style politics; for falling in with a suspected Chinese spy; and now for incredibly inappropriate alleged behavior with numerous women who are not his wife.  

One woman, a former aide to Swalwell, says that he had sex with her while she was too drunk to consent. According to CNN, a total of four women have alleged various levels of misconduct, including Democratic influencer Ally Sammarco, who says that he sent her nude photos of himself.

Here was Swalwell’s response. The congressman tacitly admits to infidelity but denies assaulting anyone. 

As Swalwell notes, he was leading in the race, at least among the Democrats. Actually, the top two candidates right now are Republicans — the front-runner is Steve Hilton, a former Fox News personality who is endorsed by Donald Trump.
