It cites Cheyenne Hunt of gen-Z For Change describing the allegations as \u201cpretty shocking\u201d and references social posts that discuss accusations targeting Swalwell\u2019s use of mentor-like influence over employees, interns, and fans.<\/p>\n<p>The article contrasts these claims with Swalwell\u2019s past stance during the Kavanaugh hearings in 2018, where he urged bringing forward all accusers to be heard, and implies a discrepancy between that position and his current response to new accusations.It notes that many women may have signed non-disclosure agreements and that some are seeking or obtaining legal portrayal,suggesting a vetting and credibility process is underway.<\/p>\n<p> Swalwell\u2019s team denies the accusations as false smears, attributing them to political opponents aligned with MAGA conspiracy theories. The piece argues that, under California\u2019s jungle primary rules, the election could still end with two Republicans if Democratic voters are split, potentially blocking Swalwell despite initial frontrunner status.<\/p>\n<p>the article presents an opinion that Swalwell\u2019s handling of the allegations undermines his fitness for the governor\u2019s office and questions the broader political narrative of \u201cbelieve all women,\u201d implying that the situation exposes inconsistencies in his approach to accountability and due process.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>With less than a month to go until voters go to the polls in California&rsquo;s primaries, 2026 Democratic gubernatorial wannabe Eric Swalwell has a 2018 U.S. Rep.

Cheyenne Hunt of Gen-Z For Change says the accusations could involve targeting Swalwell\u2019s power over employees, interns, and fans, with alleged private messages and possible criminal conduct. Some women have reportedly sought pro bono legal help, and many have signed NDAs, complicating verification. Swalwell\u2019s team calls the claims false and a smear, while supporters note the timing ahead of the election.<\/p>\n<p>The article also explains California\u2019s jungle primary setup, where only the top two vote-getters advance, meaning a split among Democrats could allow two Republicans to reach the general election. It contrasts Swalwell\u2019s current situation with his 2018 stance during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, where he urged bringing all accusers forward to testify if Kavanaugh were innocent. The writer argues Swalwell should apply the same standard now, suggesting his response undermines his fitness for governor and accusing some Democrats of inconsistently embracing a \u201cbelieve all women\u201d stance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2588600,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Eric-Swalwell-interview-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[77418,75923,77419,9068,6741],"class_list":["post-2588599","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-2018-interview","tag-accusers-2","tag-campaign-2026","tag-kavanaugh","tag-swalwell"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Eric-Swalwell-interview-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2588599","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2588599"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2588599\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2588603,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2588599\/revisions\/2588603"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2588600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2588599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2588599"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2588599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
