Eric Fartwell Forced Out of Gubernatorial Race by Post-Biden-Debate Coordinated Campaign; Apologizes for "Mistakes in Judgment I Have Made in My Life"

He was forced out after Democrats threatened to expel him from Congress if he didn't resign from the race.

Now that he's out of the race, I anticipate them defending him and permitting him to remain in the House. Just like they did with Biden -- they forced him out of a race for tactical and cynical political reasons, but then kept him in office for equally tactical and cynical political reasons.

Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, are expected to face an immediate expulsion threat when the House returns from a two-week recess on Tuesday.
Swalwell, who dropped out of California's 2026 gubernatorial race Sunday, is facing multiple sexual assault and misconduct allegations, including at least one involving a former staffer. The Manhattan district attorney's office has also opened a criminal investigation into an incident that allegedly occurred in New York City.
Swalwell has repeatedly characterized the allegations as "false," though he acknowledged a lack of judgment on Sunday. He has pledged to vigorously defend himself.

Politico:

Swalwell suspends governor campaign amid sexual misconduct allegations
His exit came after allies and staffers abandoned him en masse.

...
"I am suspending my campaign for Governor," Swalwell wrote on X on Sunday. "To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I've made in my past."
He wrote, "I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made -- but that's my fight, not a campaign's."
The Democratic congressman's exit completed a stunningly swift collapse for a candidate who had shown signs in recent weeks of pulling ahead of a crowded Democratic field, with prominent interest groups and elected officials beginning to coalesce behind him.
But an ex-staffer's allegation that Swalwell had sexually assaulted her, detailed in a San Francisco Chronicle report and followed by more misconduct allegations in a CNN report, led those allies to abandon Swalwell en masse as high-level staffers departed his campaign.
Swalwell started last week vehemently denying accusations against him as nakedly political attacks on the race's frontrunner. He ended it politically isolated, his top campaign surrogates and prominent endorsers withdrawing their support or urging him to exit the race.
By Friday afternoon, Swalwell's two campaign co-chairs, Reps. Jimmy Gomez and Adam Gray, called on Swalwell to drop out, as did Sens. Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement saying the accusations "must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability," and that, "As I discussed with Congressman Swalwell, it is clear that is best done outside of a gubernatorial campaign."
Swalwell had come under enormous pressure not only in the governor's race, but in the House, too, where he now is facing calls for his expulsion. Meanwhile, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office is investigating allegations that he sexually assaulted a former staffer in a New York City hotel room in April 2024.

I know that some of you object to this political hit based on the fact that there is no actual evidence of rape introduced against him yet, just allegations.

But I cannot help but apply Eric Fartwell's own evidentiary standards against him. Here is Fartwell repeatedly accusing Trump of being an "Agent of Putin," and when asked what the evidence is for this conspiracy theory, he just says "the evidence is right in front of your nose" and "the evidence is hiding in plain sight."

This turned out to be a line cribbed from Adam Schiff: When Schiff claimed he had secret evidence that Trump was a RUSSIAN ASSET, he only meant "you can just tell by looking at him."

Swalwell’s political career should have been over after he slept with a Chinese spy. It wasn’t.

Instead, Pelosi put him on the Intelligence Committee so he could tell ridiculous lies about Trump and Russia.

Democrats enabled this monster.pic.twitter.com/lVzF21r0lJ

So is it right to spare Fartwell by insisting on a higher evidentiary standard than the one he inflicts on whoever he's politically targeting?

I think I agree with the Boromir Principle here: "This is a gift... Why not use the enemy's weapon against him?"

I don't know if using the power of the Ring for one's own purposes works out because I haven't finished LOTR yet. But I'm sure it'll be fine. Why wouldn't it? It's just a Ring after all.

Speaking of Schiff: Here's Schiff endorsing his literal partner in crime just a short time ago.

Note that while the rape charges may or may not be ultimately proven, there is little doubt that he was behaving in a very "sloppy" way, as Black Conservative Perspective judged, sloppily sending his dicpics to any attractive women he came across.

California gubernatorial candidate Eric Swalwell will find himself in more legal crosshairs if he or his team "disparages" one of his accusers of sexual misconduct, her husband warned on Saturday night.
Adam Parkhomenko, who is married to Ally Sammarco, said on social media he wished the congressman's family well and hopes he gets the help he needs.
"But if Eric Swalwell or his attorney makes a single statement that disparages my wife, I will be filing a lawsuit against him," Parkhomenko went on. "I've already made clear that if he believes anything I've said is untrue, he should sue me immediately."
He warned Swalwell "he should be very careful about what he chooses to say" before calling on him to resign from Congress.
...
In a report published by CNN, Sammarco alleged that Swalwell had sent her inappropriate messages on Snapchat in 2021, including unsolicited nudes.
Swalwell would also go for jogs in her neighborhood and ask her to come downstairs from her apartment to chat, she alleged.
"It made me feel gross and uncomfortable," she said of the nudes. "I didn't ask for that."
...
Other accusations made more serious claims, including alleged rape. The Manhattan District Attorney's Office in New York launched an investigation Saturday into the incidents.

"Movin' sloppy," as BCP says.

Nancy Pelosi said she had "no concerns" about Fartwell banging a Chinese spy when she put him on the tip-top secret clearance Intelligence Committee.

Maybe she should have had some concerns. In unverified video, Eric Fartwell supposedly videotaped himself attempting to kiss a woman who was plainly uninterested him, despite her allegedly being a sex worker. The video has been deleted but you might still see it here. The fact that it has been deleted suggests that it's an AI deep fake, but, as Boromir might say, "The evidence we should use the ring is right in front of your nose."

Grok says it looks real...

@grok
Apr 11
Modern AI-generated videos can be virtually indistinguishable from real ones, making definitive determination difficult or impossible from visual inspection alone.
That said, the short clip shows fluid movements, consistent lighting/shadows, natural skin textures, and no obvious artifacts like distorted hands or flickering faces. The man strongly resembles Eric Swalwell. It appears to be authentic footage rather than AI-generated, though external verification (e.g., source metadata or statements from those involved) would be needed for certainty.

But I have no confidence in AI answers about whether something is AI. I asked grok or chatGTP a year ago about very suspicious videos and it assured me they were real. I didn't believe it, and kept re-asking, and with each new answer the AI backed away from its initial confidence and eventually admitted "They're fake."

I think AI is good at figuring out what you want to hear and telling you just that.

OTOH, the Space Nerd Elon Musk thinks the video is real.

But there are other reasons he should never have been placed on the Intelligence Committee: A 2017 FBI report concluded he was guilty of leaking "a lot of leaked information."

Eric Swalwell: Allegations of sexual misconduct, leaking sensitive information and more.

According to this 2017 FBI report, "(Redacted) noted Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.”

Media "reporters" are now all saying "everyone knew" about Sloppy Swalwell but making excuses why they couldn't report the story. One woman says she knew but couldn't "chase down the story" because she was not on the politics beat nor the women's issues beat.

This excuse was so unbelievably bullshit that she deleted that post.

Others are also saying "Everyone knew."

There is talk of expelling not just Fartwell but the Republican who cheated on his wife -- seems less serious than rape -- and the Stronk Empowered Black Woman who embezzled millions of dollars in covid funds to use in her campaign and buy a big diamond ring for herself.

Bipartisan furor over sexual misconduct allegations against Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) is cascading into calls to expel not only him, but three other members -- two Republicans and a Democrat -- accused of wrongdoing.
The dynamic could upend the House in the coming weeks with forced votes, intense debate, and at least one public House Ethics Committee hearing on the books.
Swalwell ended his gubernatorial bid on Sunday after being accused of sexually assaulting a former aide and other instances of misconduct.
Lawmakers calling for his ouster from Congress immediately also pointed to Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas), who admitted he had an affair with a former congressional staffer who later died after setting herself on fire, and is accused of sending sexually explicit messages to a former campaign aide.
Gonzales's affair was reported earlier this year, leading to an Ethics Committee referral and the Texas congressman ending his bid for reelection in March. It is against House rules for a member to have a sexual relationship with a member of their staff.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said over the weekend she will file a motion to expel Swalwell and is inquiring to see if she can pair that with a motion to expel Gonzales. It takes support from two-thirds of the House to expel a member from Congress.
A growing number of Democrats -- including Rep. Teresa Leger Fernandez (D-N.M.), Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), and Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) -- have said they would be in favor of expelling both Swalwell and Gonzales. On the Republican side, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) said he would vote to expel both.
But the demands for punishing lawmakers accused of wrongdoing aren't stopping there. Members are also pointing to Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) and Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.).
Mills -- whose former girlfriend obtained a restraining order against him last year for harassment, and whose other simultaneous girlfriend accused him of assault before quickly recanting -- is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of dating violence, campaign finance violations and more.

Happy New Week!

Never mind all that. The California jungle primary was on track to have two GOPers come out with the top vote counts. Meaning when the real election came around, there would be no Democrats on the ballot. So, the Dems are using whatever tactics they can to eliminate the excess Dems who are splitting the vote in the jungle primary.

If they succeed, there will be at least 1 Dem who comes out in the top 2 from the primary, who then would be expected to win in the general.

81 Those allegations were damning! We will always be better off when we root out sexual predators from our party.

While it's inarguable that a variety of heinous crimes go unpunished (or even rewarded) in the Republican Party, handling situations this severe is a source of pride within the Dem base.

You can tell me we live in one nation called America, but I’d argue MAGA’s decision to support sexual predators as long as they’re racist actually splits us into the United States and the Neo-Confederacy.

At least now California is likely to have a progressive Governor. Let's hope Tom Steyer will be California's version of Illinois' JB Pritzker.

Frankly, if all of Swalwell’s votes get split evenly between Porter and Steyer, there’s a chance there’s two Democrats in the general.

I never gave him much thought until his embarrassing showing during the 2020 debates. that codified him as an pathetic try hard loser for me. the news didn't surprise me at all.

Porter and Swalwell, champion the progressive and centrist coalitions, respectively, can have a more open discussion about class politics in the Democratic Party.

Which is why Democrats are forcing him out. They don't care about the sex allegations because their base doesn't no matter what they say, see Bill Clinton. But they do care about winning the CA governors race.

Trump's redline has always been no nuclear weapons for Iran, not zero enrichment. Iran agrees with this and has not sought to develop or obtain a nuke since 2003 but needs to retain the ability to enrich for their "not Saddam but not Qaddafi" policy to work.

GOP voters are less forgiving than Dems. Way back in the House page scandal where GOP and Dem congress critters were screwing the underage types. Daniel Crane (GOP) dropped his bid for reelection due to sleeping with a 17 year old female page, Gerry Studds slept with a 17 year old boy and Mass voters cheered him on the multiple additional terms in office until he retired.

It is more that GOP voters do not tolerate shitheads; Democrats figure they will get something out of it by keeping the shitheads in office. It is only when another DEI Dem wants the office that the Dem has, that a straight white man gets shivved so the DEI type can crawl into office.

They can't keep it any longer but they can donate it to other politicians, etc. which usually requires a quid pro quo. They can also use it for legal expenses, etc. after they drop their candidacy among other things.

And said R will have no power, no way to enact any of his agenda, and is guaranteed to be a one-term loser. Hell, he's likely to be impeached for the crime of "being Republican" in the first month of office.

Posted by: LeftCoast Dawg

GOP voters have forced the national GOP to take out the trash or they've done it themselves (Gonzalez for example has already lost his primary to Brandon Herrera). They also took out Eyepatch McCain due to his misbehavior.

Dems, on the other hand, love criminals in general including their colleagues in office. The only way they kick them out is not from Dem voters, but to exchange scalps with the House GOP when the national media coverage of Dem criminality in office gets too much.

She brought up problems of proof, about who could reliably say what actually happened that night, about how could one possibly defend against such allegations, and about the inequity of granting a female a pass on human autonomy due to alcohol consumption and not the male for drunken failures in judgment/apprehension.

Then I told her that dems are using such allegations about not once but twice by the same accuser to drive Swallwell out.

She scoff-chuckled.

It is simply an example of how our legislatures work nowadays. But that was always present even back in the Continental Congress of people behaving as self centered swines in office. Would not be surprised that the Brits did not actually have a couple of those Congress critters on the payroll as spies either.

Then again, you see corporate execs doing the same thing, non-profits serving as looting for insiders meanwhile planning coups and fake gay ops to torment normal Americans, a demographic that uses its criminal privilege to besiege normal Americans, etc. etc.

296 The modern lesbian bar is actually a normal bar that reserves one or two nights of the week for "lesbian nights."

Full-time lesbian bars aren't very profitable because the lesbian dynamic is much different than a straight bar or gay men's bar. Straight and gay bars tend to draw in bigger-spending men, either just to chill among themselves or for predatory reasons.

Lesbian bars are different. Much less booze is bought.

If Swalwell did get elected, his seat is in a safe district in the bay area so it’s not like they would lose a seat in Congress. He must’ve been that repulsive.
But honestly, if you kicked out everyone in Congress for being sexual or things along those lines, most of the seats would be empty. It’s kind of like what I’m still trying to figure out why they took out Cuomo when he was a big idol of theirs for the longest time.

317 What is it about DC that causes so many to send dick pics all around the place? I guess that place truly is the whorehouse we've all been told about.

Back when PronHub still released random year-end data dumps DC was #1 on all of the out-there stuff like incest.

318 I still can’t figure out why all three of the candidates, Swalwell was the one they decided to take out. Porter is a pig and is far less electable. If Swalwell did get elected, his seat is in a safe district in the bay area so it’s not like they would lose a seat in Congress. He must’ve been that repulsive.
But honestly, if you kicked out everyone in Congress for being sexual or things along those lines, most of the seats would be empty. It’s kind of like what I’m still trying to figure out why they took out Cuomo when he was a big idol of theirs for the longest time.

320 Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, are expected to face an immediate expulsion threat when the House returns from a two-week recess on Tuesday.

So both are threatened with expulsion?

Which one goes and which one stays?

Bigly. First, oldest's game, Wednesday, weather-depending.

Spring baseball here is always a mixed bag, weather-wise. Snow is forecasted for Wednesday and Thursday.

Youngest's first is next Tuesday.

324 Didn't Gonzales get beaten in the primary by Brandon Herrera?

Herrera got more votes, but neither hit 50% so it was going to a runoff before Gonzales dropped out.

Deviance road gets more downhill the more you travel along it. Because it creates a desire and interest to become more and more wicked in one's interests due to a craving for a new feel.

Becomes a glidepath to hell, it does.

328 Had a Valentine's evening with the wife years ago. We rented a room in a posh hotel and everything. Back before phone's had cameras, but she had a disposable camera and took some pictures. She dropped them off to be developed, then had me pick them.up.

Never, ever send "racy" photos to a developing service.
There is ALWAYS a person looking at the prints before they are returned. This is a basic QC function; are they smeared, over developed, two prints stuck together, etc.
Some have a specific policy - if they find explicit photos, some will destroy the prints AND your negatives. Of those, some will tell you why, and some will just claim machine malfunction and give you a new role if film.
Of the ones that don't have a specific policy, you'll probably get your prints back. Evidently, you got one of those. But... more often than not, a second (or more) set of prints were run and added to the collection of the guy checking the prints.
And if it appears that there are kids in those pics, they'll be turned over to the cops.

The allegations against Congressman Swalwell are horrifying. I’m thinking of the courageous women who have come forward to share their stories. We believe you and we stand with you.

Always believe spouse abusing women.

I did not play it down. I very much wanted to report it out myself. But MeToo stories on the Hill aren't related to my beat, as much as I personally wish I could report them out. I passed the tip along to colleagues on the Hill beat.

Hill reported knew about the rape rape
But it was not her BEAT

336 Trump's redline has always been no nuclear weapons for Iran, not zero enrichment. Iran agrees with this and has not sought to develop or obtain a nuke since 2003 but needs to retain the ability to enrich for their "not Saddam but not Qaddafi" policy to work.

There are power reactors that don't need enriched uranium. Enrichment is a step to make nuclear weapons, full stop.

338 Everybody in the D party knew about Swalwell. EVERYBODY.

Think about this - knowing about him made him easy for them to control. Nancy said do this or say that, or vote this way or that - what other choice did he have? That is why they kept him. Now he's a liability - because he is running for governor and that is splitting the vote so an R might win. He wouldn't resign gracefully, so is getting forced out.

339 I thought at first that Biden should have resigned to help Kamala. Being president might have given her more stature. But she would have been such a bad president that it would have exposed her unfitness for office even more than the campaign did. I guess the Democrats knew that too, so they didn't want Biden to resign.

It's perfect evidence how the Dems control the media narrative, and how they target and demonize at will.

Posted by: Joemarine at April 13, 2026 12:56 PM (y171U)

Precisely. And in my not so humble fucking opinion, is what constitutes the greatest threat to our so-called Democracy. Control of the narrative is a greater threat than Russia or China or anywhere else in the world. The enemy is inside the wire. We've been overrun and the only recourse is revolutionary, in my mind.

He was properly whipped back into submission on probation. He will have to tow the line or be primaried in his next election.
