Disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell, who dropped his bid for California governor after allegations surfaced he sexually assaulted multiple women, ironically accused ICE agents of mistreating women in a galling interview earlier this year.
During a January appearance on “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” on left-wing cable news network MS NOW, the 45-year-old dad of three confidently mounted his high horse and proclaimed, as California governor, he would strip ICE agents of their driver’s licenses in retribution for “terrorizing women.”
“If you’re going to run around our state masked and not showing yourself, not showing ID, and terrorize women, then you should not have a driver license,” he told host Jen Psaki as she nodded along.
“The governor has the power to grant driver’s licenses in any state — and I call it ‘Reveal to Wheel’ — if you’re going into our communities in a way no other law enforcement agency does, masked, and as I said a terrorizing bandit that women are afraid of, then the governor should revoke your driver license and really go on offense and restrict your ability to harm people.”
Just four months later, the accused sex pest’s political career is circling the bowl after four women came forward accusing him of sexual misconduct, including rape.
One of the women, a former staffer, claimed the lefty congressman raped her when she was drunk, leaving her bloodied and bruised during an alleged 2024 attack in New York, which sparked a probe from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.
She described harrowing details on the night she was allegedly raped, telling CNN, “I was pushing him off of me, saying no. He didn’t stop.”
She claimed she was forced to get tested for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, and said she had sent texts to her friend about the alleged attack.
Another woman claimed she woke up next to Swalwell in a hotel room in 2019 after a drunken night out, and said he allegedly kissed her and touched her leg without consent.
Social media influencer Ally Sammarco, claimed he had sent her nudes on Snapchat after they started talking about politics on X.
Two days after the shocking allegations came to light, Swalwell suspended his campaign for governor, apologizing to family and friends for “mistakes in judgment” in a post on X in which he denied the allegations.
He also weathered a host of alleged financial improprieties, such as using campaign funds to pay for childcare during the governor’s race, state records revealed.
Swalwell brushed off mounting allegations as mere political attacks.
Republicans and Democrats alike blasted Swalwell as the accusations surfaced, applying pressure to resign from Congress, even though he vacated his seat to run for governor.
Hours before Swalwell pulled the plug on his campaign, California Gov. Gavin Newsom told The Post: “As we continue to learn more, these allegations from multiple sources are deeply troubling and must be taken seriously.”
