The text says he continued using Snapchat-described as a platform with disappearing messages-to contact former intern staffers and other women, including discussions prompted by claims connected to screenshots of chat history. It references reporting from outlets such as The New york Times, saying that messages and explicit images were part of what accusers pointed to, and that some people who initially supported him received warnings early on.<\/p>\n<p>the article also recounts how multiple investigations and media reports (including coverage by major outlets) escalated in April 2026,leading to Swalwell backing down from challenging the allegations publicly.It notes that several women have accused him of sexual misconduct, and mentions that law-enforcement investigations are ongoing, while arguing that Swalwell\u2019s continued behavior on Snapchat remains a central point of concern.  <\/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\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?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\" ?><html><body><\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Social media was, effectively, part of the downfall of Eric Swalwell, leading him to leave not only the California gubernatorial race but also Congress.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that his use of Snapchat, despite the service\u2019s supposed anonymity and ephemerality, provided some ammunition to accusers who said he sent, as the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/05\/01\/us-news\/eric-swalwell-is-still-messaging-former-staffers-on-snapchat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a> put it, \u201csexual messages and explicit images\u201d to staffers.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, he\u2019s still using Snapchat.

As recently as this week, Mr. Swalwell communicated directly with a former intern on the app and asked her why she had taken a screenshot of their chat history, based on images provided to The Times, though the messages were not sexual in nature,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/05\/01\/us\/eric-swalwell-social-media.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> reported Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The Swalwell piece was an effective and illuminating dissection about how social media was critical to both Swalwell\u2019s rise and his demise, allowing him to not only <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >contact potential sexual partners privately<\/a> but allowing people he allegedly abused to connect \u2014 notably through Cheyenne Hunt, a progressive activist with Gen-Z for Change who helped break the story.<\/p>\n<p>Most of it is merely straight reporting, the kind of thing The New York Times does well when forced to put its resources behind it as opposed to lazy liberal advocacy hidden behind a thin patina of just-the-facts-ma\u2019am.<\/p>\n<p>It notes that one influencer who initially promoted Swalwell, Arielle \u201cMrs. Frazzled\u201d Fodor, \u201creceived several private messages warning her to stay away from him\u201d as soon as she did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe heard rumors of sexual misconduct as she began inquiring among Capitol Hill staffers, political acquaintances and a member of Congress, whom she declined to name.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Fodor began posting on social media about him, another accuser reached out to Hunt, which prompted Fodor to connect with her. At the same time, the San Francisco Chronicle was investigating the claims of another Swalwell staffer. When Hunt and Fodor began posting, the outlet said that \u00a0\u201cthe influencers\u2019 posts lent urgency to our efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN was also investigating claims, and in April, dominoes began falling. Swalwell\u2019s team initially called the claims spurious, but then after both the San Francisco Chronicle and CNN reports in early April \u2014 along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/swalwells-endorsement-list-nuked-orbit-sex-abuse-allegations-dems-dont-get-pass-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">virtually every Democrat<\/a> who had cosigned his gubernatorial candidacy pulling their endorsement \u2014 we got Swalwell admitting, effectively, to consensual relationships, but not to the abuse claims that the outlets had laid out.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hear it directly from me.
