Showing Original Post only (View all)Who is CHEYENNE HUNT, leading the charge against Swalwell? [View all]
I understand she's an attorney and a Democrat who has collected the statements from several, unidentified, women. She also has a connection to Swalwell's rival for Governorship of California, Katie Porter.
The influencer behind the now public allegations against gubernatorial candidate Rep. Eric Swalwell has academic and political connections with UC Irvine Law professor and rival candidate Katie Porter. However, the former congresswoman denies any direct relationship.

The staffers' stories, if true, are damning. The victims have lived in pain while the perpetrator has gained in fame.
However, we must know -- We the People (especially of California) -- have the right to know if the allegations are true. We achieve that through openness.
Character assassination does the same as a political violence: it removes people permanently from leadership. And today, the owners running Corporate McPravda, without attribution or anything else, are destroying the career of what had been a rising star, a potential Democratic president, making the billionaires who own and operate CIABCNNBCBSFOXBS so very happy.
