Eric Swalwell Reaps What He Sows

I have no idea whether Eric Swalwell is guilty of the sexual crimes of which he has been accused. I would note, however, that everything the man has said on the topic over the previous decade or so instructs me to believe that the allegations are true.

Back when Brett Kavanaugh was being put through the ringer, Swalwell routinely tweeted out the maximalist shibboleth “#BelieveSurvivors”; engaged in cynical question begging, describing Kavanaugh’s accuser as “all the victims” and proposing that “victims of sexual assault . . . deserve to be heard”; and asked, rhetorically, what the “chances” were that “three or four women independently who never met each other would have similar experiences with one person,” before concluding that “either this person committed these horrific acts or he’s the single unluckiest person in the world.”
