    Remember this? Good times.

    Ooof...

    https://www.politico.com/news/2026/04/10/swalwell-campaign-imploding-amid-sexual-assault-allegation-00867619

    Multiple people have abruptly resigned from Rep. Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign, throwing the durability of his operation into question after the California Democrat repeatedly this week denied allegations of sexual misconduct.

    Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell’s top liaison to organized labor groups.

    Pugh confirmed her resignation, but declined to comment further. Two other people, who were granted anonymity to discuss internal campaign dynamics, confirmed there have been at least four departures.

    The resignations came just before the San Francisco Chronicle published a report Friday afternoon reporting that a former staffer claims Swalwell had sexual encounters with her while working for him, and that he sexually assaulted her twice when she was too drunk to consent.

      I think if the guy is too drunk to ask for consent and she’s too drunk to give it it’s a wash.

        Seems fair.

            End your campaign, but he can stay in Congress, at least for now.

                Who are the other three people in the video?

                Hmm. Direct click doesn't work, but if you copy the URL, it'll take you there.

                  You're unfit to be the governor but fit to be a Congressman? Explain how that works, predator.

                    Two low bars but I would agree the congressman bar is lower historically speaking.

                    I wonder if he’s being primaried for the congressional seat. Probably since many assumed he might vacate it.

                      I've read that he's an inconvenient candidate because of California's "jungle primary," in which two republicans are leading in the polls. Eliminating him reduces the number of Democrats running for office, giving Mrs. Potato Head a better shot.

                      I don't know if he's running for a congressional seat. Somewhere, I read that he has to NOT run for congress if he runs for governor.

                        Hopefully it gives the San Jose mayor a better chance
