Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California says he will resign from Congress after sexual assault allegations

[Alicia J]

Why not ask him?

Why don't you? Since you want Swalwell to resign so badly.

What's fair is fair.

 

[Alicia J]

You would be hard pressed to find a Democrat politician that is not a POS.

Trump tried to kill Mike Pence on Jan 6 and steal an election.

Poor little MAGA troll forgot all about it!!

 

[Blaster]

Why don't you? Since you want Swalwell to resign so badly.

You wanted Swalwell to remain in Congress?

 

[theHawk]

The Trump Curse strikes again.

These deranged Democrats spend all their time and energy projecting their crimes onto Republicans.

This total scumbag is a great representation of Democrats, he should run for President.

Another one bites the dust.

Liar.

Liar.

Very true.

Of course, you will deny it the rest of your miserable life. I mean....what kind of crazy person would vote for a deranged traitor like Trump who wanted his own VP to get killed by a mob???

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) announced on Monday he is resigning from Congress, a day after sexual assault and misconduct allegations forced him to withdraw from the California governor race.

“I am deeply sorry for my family, staff and constituents for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past,” Swalwell said in a statement shared online. “I will fight the serious, false allegation made against me. However, I must take responsibility and ownership for the past mistakes I did make.”

He fracked it up and paid the price. This is great example of how a disgraced politician should act. Democrats did NOT circle the wagons to protect him, my Congressman Jared Huffman called on him to resign off. As did Nancy Pelosi. He was leading in polls to be elected Governor. Now we need to find another front runner, other than Katie Porter, I will never vote for her.

He did not indicate when his resignation would take effect.

I hope, if he broke any laws, this doesn’t absolve him and he is fully prosecuted.... Like Bondi...perjury needs to be prosecuted regardless of whether they still have their job or not.

Tony Gonzales Will Resign From Congress

Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) said he plans to resign from the House Tuesday, weeks after the Texas Republican admitted to having an affair with a staff member, Politico reports.

Said Gonzales: “There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all. When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office. It has been my privilege to serve the great people of Texas.”

Good. Time for Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Republican Rep. Cory Mills to also say 'bye bye I need to spend time with my fam'lee'

The DNC is trying to pull their butts out of the fire. They accomplish two (actually three) objectives out of this. First, they narrow an overly large democrat primary field in the CA gov. race and second they shed a party liability by getting rid of Swalwell. The third-seemingly unintended benefit is that they may entice one of the remaining gov. candidates to take Swalwell's abandoned congressional seat further narrowing the field.

 

[Darkwind]

Why don't you want him to resign?

 

[Concerned American]

Why don't you want him to resign?

Naw, I am ecstatic that the country is getting rid of another traitor and I hope that it leads to a criminal conviction. I am just exposing the DNC's ulterior motive in so quickly throwing him under the bus.
