The Democrat Party plays dirty and plays for keeps.
All of Washington just learned that lesson in the most shocking fashion possible.
And Democrats just unleashed a sexual blackmail file that is even worse than you think.
Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress and ended his campaign for Governor of California after a former staffer came forward with allegations that Swalwell raped her in 2019 after she became too intoxicated to consent to sexual intercourse.
Swalwell then resigned his seat in the House of Representatives.
After the news broke, reporter Bethany Allen, formerly of Axios and Foreign Policy, admitted she knew of rumors for years about Swalwell’s conduct but never pursued them, claiming she didn’t do any reporting because it wasn’t her beat.
“I did not play it down. I very much wanted to report it myself. But MeToo stories on the Hill aren’t related to my beat, as much as I personally wish I could report them. I passed the tip along to colleagues on the Hill beat,” Allen wrote on X.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller told Fox News host Jesse Watters that the real story was that Democrats keep a sexual blackmail folder in reserve to control their members and that when any of them threaten the left’s grip on power, top Democrats destroy them by leaking compromising information to the press.
“The real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail. It’s got a blackmail file on ALL of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it,” Miller stated.
“That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is. That’s the next thread we’ve got to pull out here,” Miller added.
A report on governing.com explained why Democrats took out Swalwell.
In California, all candidates, regardless of party, compete in a primary, and the top two advance to the general election.
Governing wrote that polls showed that Swalwell was among several Democrats diluting the Democratic base vote, which polls showed could allow two Republicans to advance to the General Election and lock the Democrats out of the Governor’s Mansion.
“Recent polls show a large pack of Democratic candidates trailing two Republican candidates in the gubernatorial primary scheduled for June. Under California’s voting system, the top two vote-getters in the primary will proceed to a general election in November, no matter what party they’re from. If the primary were held today, according to the most recent polling, that would mean two Republican candidates, each pulling in just 14 percent of the primary vote, battling it out for the governor’s office in the fall. A lot could change before primary day, but the Democratic Party is increasingly nervous,” governing reported.
Once Swalwell dropped out and allowed the Democratic vote to consolidate, polls showed Democratic Tom Steyer surging to the lead.
