Rep. Eric Swalwell said Sunday he would withdraw from the California governor’s race in the wake of allegations of sexual misconduct that led to a nearly immediate campaign collapse, as staffers quit and prominent Democratic supporters urged him to drop out.

“I am suspending my campaign for Governor,” he posted on X. “To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past. I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”

My comment? We have a President in this country against whom the allegations, personal accounts, and overwhelming evidence of a lifetime of sexual abuse should have him in jail.

What does this have to so with Swalwell? Nothing but I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy.
