Oh Eric...

Remember this? Good times.

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.

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.

Swalwell is still on the ballot in California. His "suspending" his campaign doesn't change that.
He also has not, as of yet, submitted a letter of resignation, tho it might change in the coming days. He could, if he wanted,
festerlinger a while.I wonder what other rotten apples will fall. Maybe some of the 150 or so congressmen who voted against full disclosure of sexual abuse settlements?

The clerk read his official resignation today.
He's gone.
Now, who else was in that photo/video???
