...basically par for that to be definitive enough for some to attack Democrats with that broad brush.

What you describe looks to me like 'inside' gossip that some people now feel comfortable to present as factual.

There's enough compelling proof in the accusations that were publicized for Swalwell to address, that it's a question to me why some feel this is some imperative to make a blanket condemnation of a party that regularly responds forcefully and without equivocation to credible charges.

It just doesn't add up, and it's incredibly cynical to believe that Democrats would be willing to soft pedal or be willing to conceal sexual abuse. That's not been the history, especially in the past decade or so.

It's specious, on its face, especially given the quick and unequivocal responses from supporters and fellow Dems.
