Dem suspends California Gov. campaign amid 'serious' assault allegations
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) suspended his campaign for California Governor on Sunday as he battles allegations of sexual assault and rape. "I am suspending my campaign for Governor," Swalwell wrote in a statement 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."On Friday, the San Francisco Chronicle published a bombshell report alleging the lawmaker had assaulted one of his staffers multiple times when she was too intoxicated to consent. Since then, three other women have come forward to make allegations against Swalwell, according to reports. Swalwell has faced a mountain of criticism since the report was published, including calls from a bipartisan cadre of lawmakers to resign or be expelled from Congress.
