2. My wife and daughter felt the same way

That election was hard on me but it was devastating for them in a way that went way beyond my frustration.

It needs to be investigated but Swalwell is sure looking like a real scumbag at this point.

I have seen some arguments comparing him to other public figures but it seems to be blurring some lines. While sexual harassment and sexual assault exists on a continuum, there is certainly a wide spread of behavior. Swalwell is accused of full on rape which should never be confused with just inappropriate behavior. This is not an Al Franken moment.

If there is any truth to it, dropping out of politics is just a first step to facing the real legal consequences that it deserves
