Former Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif. has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women, with at least four describing unwanted advances, intoxicated encounters, explicit messages, and nude photos. Despite denying the allegations, the California Democratic Party and its media allies bear equal responsibility for their actions. The hypocrisy of this hypocrisy is evident as Swalw was a champion of "believe women" during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and used sexual misconduct claims as a partisan club against Republicans. However, now that the accusations are against him, he has faced skepticism, issued legal threats, and questioned election timing. The California Democratic party, which holds unbroken Democratic supermajorities in the legislature and control of every statewide office, has been criticized for elevating Swalworth with endorsements and soft coverage.
