Listen to the story of what motivated her, and you can only come to that conclusion\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I was on a launch call for [Swalwell\u2019s] gubernatorial campaign\u2026 and very quickly I got messages saying, \u201cDo not talk to that man. Do not send him your phone number, do not add him on Snapchat. You just don\u2019t wanna get involved.\u201d And I was like, \u201cWow, that\u2019s a pretty forceful reaction. That\u2019s never happened before\u2026 Every week it seems like I was hearing more and more from people saying, \u201cYou know, friends of mine who had encounters with him and interns he had slept with and stuff that had happened years and years ago, stuff that had happened recently.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/t\/assets\/html\/tweet-5.html#2042724098367959472\" data-btlnk=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ms_frazzled\/status\/2042724098367959472\" class=\"bnn-if-tweet\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery day more and more women came forward. Every single day more people said, \u2018I thought I was the only one.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s look at Swalwell\u2019s pretty-pretty-pretty narrow denial\u2026<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations, and I thought it was important that you see and hear from me directly. These allegations of sexual assault are flat false. They\u2019re absolutely false. They did not happen. They have never happened, and I will fight them with everything that I have. They also come on the eve of an election where I\u2019ve been the frontrunner candidate for governor in California.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/t\/assets\/html\/tweet-5.html#2042800069334962405\" data-btlnk=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepSwalwell\/status\/2042800069334962405\" class=\"bnn-if-tweet\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"260\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Then comes this\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a9d adSo\"\/>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I do not suggest to you in any way that I\u2019m perfect or a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past, but those are between me and my wife \u2014 and to her I apologize deeply for putting her into this position.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While he is denying the allegations of sexual assault and misconduct, it sounds to me\u00a0\u2014 and this is just one man\u2019s opinion\u00a0\u2014 that he is admitting to the claims that he had consensual sexual relationships with staffers.<\/p>\n<p>Assuming that\u2019s true, we just went through six years of a #MeToo movement, a movement heartily championed by the corporate media, where powerful men having sex with their subordinates, including consensual sex, was grounds for being disgraced and wished into the cornfield, banished forever.<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, but only a na\u00efve idiot believes the corporate media was not aware of all this and chose to protect Swalwell because 1) he\u2019s a Democrat and 2) he is utterly shameless in smearing and lying about Republicans, especially President Trump.<\/p>\n<p>But NOW\u2026<\/p>\n<p>NOW that the California governor\u2019s race is on the line\u2026 NOW that Swalwell\u2019s candidacy might result in a Republican winning\u2026 Only <em>NOW<\/em> must Swalwell go.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a9d-pre\">This is the corporate media doing what the corporate media always do\u2026 If you want to understand how the media operate, whenever you see the media do something \u2014 anything \u2014 ask yourself one question: How does this benefit Democrats? To wit\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a9d adSo\"\/>\n<p>The upcoming June 2 California gubernatorial primary is not like other primaries. Instead of one Democrat primary winner and one Republican primary winner facing off in the general election, the top two vote-getters advance to the general election\u2026 regardless of party. Now go and look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearpolling.com\/polls\/governor\/general\/2026\/california\/open_primary\">the polls<\/a>. As you can see, there\u2019s a very real chance two Republicans could win the primary, which would ensure a Republican becomes governor of California.<\/p>\n<p>The media and Democrats cannot allow that possibility, so it\u2019s been decided that Swalwell must be sacrificed. \u00a0His sacrifice will break the three-way tie between the three top Democrats \u2014 Swalwell, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer \u2014 and once Swalwell\u2019s 15 percent support moves to the other two, one or both is certain to go on to compete in the general election, which practically ensures Democrats hold onto California\u2019s governor\u2019s seat.<\/p>\n<p>You see, if Swalwell were polling at 30 percent instead of his current 15 percent, the media cover-up of these allegations would continue because no one would be sweating a Republican sneaking into victory.<\/p>\n<p>But he\u2019s not polling at 30 percent. Early voting begins in a few weeks, and the media knew something ruthless had to be immediately done to protect Democrats, so the media chose to slit their pal\u2019s throat.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, there\u2019s no small amount of satisfaction in watching this appalling excuse for a human being get his. Trust me, though, this takedown of Swalwell has nothing to do with justice, truth, or protecting women.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/the-media\/2026\/04\/11\/nolte-medias-only-motive-in-taking-out-eric-swalwell-is-to-benefit-democrats\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The only reason the corporate media are reporting on the sexual assault allegations against Rep.
