Democrats have a polished and ruthless machine for disposing of these political problems. And this is from Timothy Jankowski today in the American Thinker. And I think he nails it. And these are the things I don't think enough people are paying attention to here with Swalwell. And he says, Eric Swalwell is a low life, a moral degenerate. Let's not mince any words about it. He's the kind of person who would think nothing of destroying the lives and reputations of others with lies in order to further his own career. As a matter of fact, he's done that. If Dante is correct, when he takes his last breath, he would end up in the eighth circle of hell as both a falsifier and a purveyor of civil strife and political discord. But let's not lose sight of of the forest for the trees in his recent decision to suspend his campaign for governor and now resign from Congress as a result of numerous allegations of sexual misconduct. The fact is that Democrats seem to have an endless supply of women claiming to have been sexually assaulted by political candidates who only show up right before an election to try and end the campaign of candidates that the Democrat Party opposes. It began in 2017 with the special Senate election. GOP candidate Roy Moore had won the primary and was cruising towards an easy victory in the general election when just 30 days ahead of it, two Washington Post reporters published an interview with a woman claiming that 40 years ago, Moore had touched her over her clothes when she was 14 years old. There was no evidence of this claim offered, nor an explanation of why she had not come forward with his story at any point previously, despite the fact that Moore had served in a high profile role as Chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. Additionally, it was never made clear how these two out of state reporters parachuted in and immediately turned up a story that not a single political professional in the state had ever heard so much as a rumor of. Nonetheless, the damage was done. On election night, Republicans stayed home, and the Democrat Senator, Doug Jones, went on to win the Senate race. Jones would go on to vote to impeach Donald Trump twice, despite the fact that Trump had won the state by almost 30 percentage points. Seven months later, President Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to serve as the Associate justice of the Supreme Court. Given the fact that Kavanaugh was a rather bland, middle of the road conservative, his confirmation seemed to be a sure thing. But once again, the Washington Post found another aggrieved woman who claimed that Kavanaugh grabbed her over her clothes 36 years ago when she was 15. It was an unusually similar story to the one told by Roy Moore's accuser. And as in the case of Moore, additional women popped up to make unfounded accusations. The ploy almost certainly would have worked a second time, as Republican elected officials immediately began to demand that Justice Kavanaugh be thrown under the bus. Only a commitment by Donald Trump, as well as Kavanaugh delivering one of the most memorable speeches in the history of congressional testimony, saved him and his seat on the court. And then there was the president himself. The 2024 presidential campaign was neck and neck once again. Just a week before the election, a woman came forward to claim that Trump groped her 31 years ago. And again with no evidence. Are you noticing a pattern here? Which brings us to now, Eric Swalwell. It's true that Swalwell is a Democrat, but that hasn't stopped Democrats who had much to work with. With Andrew Cuomo, Elliot Spitzer, and Anthony Weiner, it's clear that the party has a problem. There's a log jam of Democrats running for governor in the state of California, resulting in a splintering of the vote. And because of that state's election rules, in which only the top two primary vote getters advance to the general election, it's entirely possible the two GOP candidates may advance to the general, completely shutting out the Democrats. Obviously, a party that has a three to one voting registration advantage simply cannot allow that to happen, especially in a state as important as California. So that means someone has to go. But who? Well, Swalwell is the straight white male. And while that subset of the population might be popular among state Democrat voters, they are not among the California Democrat Party officials. And they are the ones who made the call that someone needed to drop out, so that person needed to be Swalwell. Now, once again, 40 days before the election, a new woman pops up with an allegation that she was raped by Swalwell while she was drunk twice over a five year period. And as in the previous instances, other women have now come forward out of the woodwork to make dubious, unstantiated claims that create noise to bolster the principal claim. But as usual in all of these cases, no police reports were ever filed, no civil lawsuits were ever brought, no newspaper was ever contracted until and right before the critical vote, despite the individual serving for years in the public sector. With Swalwell's votes going to another candidate, likely party favorite Katie Porter, now Democrats are hoping it will boost her high enough to get into the runoff election. If that happens and the race is Democrat versus Republican instead of two Republicans, the Democrat candidate will almost certainly trounce the Republican. Now, is it possible that Eric Swalwell is in fact a sexually aggressive degenerate? Yes, by all means, he is. It is possible that his accusers are coming forward out of a sense of moral righteousness and not at the behest of the Democrat Party in an attempt to derail his candidacy. I would say no. The author says this is now an established page in the Democrat playbook and we can expect more of it to clunk to come. Swalwell is just the latest victim. You can say good riddance to bad rubbish when it comes to Swalwell and his departure from the race and from Congress. But understand that this is happening by design and if all goes according to the Democrat plan, his departure is going to lead to a Democrat victory at the ballot box in the November 2026 California gubernatorial race. Live from Studio Six. We'll talk about that when we get back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Clock hit showtime you already in your seat got the stream pulled up St.
