I believe you call this Californicated.
Eric Swalwell suspended his bid for California governor amid sexual assault and misconduct allegations that threw his campaign into a tailspin, upending the race to lead the nation’s most populous state.
“I am suspending my campaign for Governor,” Swalwell wrote on X on Sunday. “To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.” […]
The Democratic congressman’s exit completed a stunningly swift collapse for a candidate who had shown signs in recent weeks of pulling ahead of a crowded Democratic field, with prominent interest groups and elected officials beginning to coalesce behind him.
But an ex-staffer’s allegation that Swalwell had sexually assaulted her, detailed in a San Francisco Chronicle report and followed by more misconduct allegations in a CNN report, led those allies to abandon Swalwell en masse as high-level staffers departed his campaign.
So Noted: Ouch.

Suspended, not ended, so I guess he figures if he can get enough votes, he can get through this.
Do you think he’s gonna just leave it hanging? One day he’ll have to cut down the dangling corpse, but until then he’d be clamping on every electrode he can find to revitalize it.
Well, so much for that. The question now is, do the Democrats see any potential for him, or is he just to be ground up for bone meal?
I’m old enough to remember when he was idiotically useful to the Democrat Party …

Still waiting … dum dum de dum dum dum …
Wasn’t he also in the Chinese Honey Trap ‘scandal’? Really, how do these clowns get past their indiscretions? Too many politicians are caught with their hands in the cookie jar, no consequences, and re-elected! The number of dumb ones is also startling (not infrequently Black BTW)!
Pay attention … the problem isn’t where their hands are!
It’s Mr Happy getting into awkward situations and usually the holiest of holes which is problematic.
May the farce be with us
?
so in this case it was not so much a ‘cookie jar’ as a ‘taco’?
got it. . . . . . or is that ‘go [for the] tit!!! ‘ ?
Democrats simply ride out the sex scandal. In the 90s, Republican Senator Robert Packwood, Oregon, was forced to resign after threats of expulsion for sexual harassment. Same decade, Bill Clinton got by Paula Jones, Juanita Broderick with feminist Hillary and creepy James Carvill labeling Clinton’s accusers as “bimbos and trailer trash”. Let’s not forget two other Democrat senators, Chris Dodd and Teddy Kennedy and their famous “waitress sandwich” – no actions taken against either.
Like Tim Walz, I’m pretty confident this weirdo has been an asset of the CCP for quite a while now. How else to explain this relative unknown (at the time) running for president in 2020. Didn’t make sense at all.
That’s nothing . We’re Canawanda-ized!
All the make-be-Leaf Cons have lost their chance to walk the floor and now must walk the PP line.
Danielle’s gonna have to let the petition be certified and have a vote in October.
It’s all heresay at this point what might happen.
After witnessing the organized attempt to frame Jian Ghomeshi by fame-seeking wh*res, I am now firmly in the camp of “all women are lying about s*x*al assault unless and until they can provide evidence beyond a reasonable doubt in an impartial court of law”.
“We believe you, anonymous™️” … and your hazy, Blasey, grasp of time, date, and details …
Because … well … your vagina gives you a pass.
you mean like the huge scandalous dragged-out ‘rape’ case involving hockey players (and their sticks)?
and, as it ends up, a more that willing kcoc warmer:

But.. It is such a perfect Demon Rat.
Surely California Voters would elect such a paragon of Leftish Values.
How dare the Demon Rat Party force this most perfect candidate from the race?
Let’s see how long he gets to keep his job in Congress as the Democrats’ designated liar.
Apparently he’s announced he’ll be resigning his seat in Congress.

Wonder if he has a CNN job lined up?
So it was OK when he was a member of the intel committee and banging a Chinese spy. But THIS is where the Democrats draw the line. Years old allegations now surface by magic.
This^^^^
The guy was always garbage, but Democrats like that. He’s number 2 behind Schiff in the Russia hoax.
He should resign his seat and go crawl under a rock.
?
he apologizes for mistakes then fights the false allegations?
?
so what is it he resigned about? the mistakes or the allegations that cannot be ignored?
lookin’ good on him !!!
Guys like Eric have previously been compromised/blackmailed by their current handlers and are just doing what they are told to do. Looks like his usefulness has run its course and now it’s time to get tossed under the bus by the Uniparty D’s and Uniparty R’s. Looks like the D’s set this up, who knows for sure.
AOC and swallowswell would make a great bar teem.
Funny thing is he can no longer run for Governor but he can keep his seat in the House. The #MeToo girls are only half mad. Deputy Dawg, there’s a fox in the hen house.
He’s gone from the House now too. Nice little middle finger to DNC leadership considering they need every seat they can to thwart the Republicans.
gives new meaning to the phrase ‘sexual congress’ lol
