He’s finished

Platner peeps, this will be you, about something, and we will say TOLD YOU SO.

Resign! I was ready to vote for him for CA Governor, now my vote goes to Steyer...Eff Swalwell

50? Damn. He really Elliot Spitzer-ed himself. And a lot of people watched, until now #DoBetter

If your reply is some version of “it’s better to be complicit with abuse than inconvenience yourself” just block me. So I don’t have to block you.

One person having the strength to stand up can make a LOT of difference.

Another question that should be asked is “Why?”. In a well-established era of #MeToo, I can fathom a reason for 50 people to not feel empowered to speak out before. If any of the allegations are accurate, they are complicit in their own way. This feels very odd.

Think we are done here

He should.

Face your justice. Come clean. Get treatment. Make amends.

Just because it happened with Biden doesn’t make this the same. Read the underlying reporting. Upsetting, detailed, with receipts.

*resign from office FUCK MY EDIT BUTTON

Thank you

Maybe he shouldn't have been a rapist.

Therein lies the difference that we must insist on. The GOP will defend its sex pests in order to maintain a fragile majority. We need to jettison ours in order to maintain basic integrity and respect for the victims regardless of the political implications.

It won’t matter. We’re coming after them too

I believe the women totally - and what's most astonishing is his staff's reaction! I get the sense he was pretty much disliked as sleazy slimeball by them all.

I’m saddened to see this

Maybe he can ask JD to plea his case. Hahahahahah

Amazing. Stand up and speak out.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Sen Fetterman used his truck to chase an innocent black jogger and pointed a 20 gauge shotgun at the man's chest once he cornered the jogger. That's a felony 🚨 Why? He thought he heard someone fire an assault rifle and automatically assumed that it was the black jogger. Sen Fetterman must resign!

having a nice lil Sunday

Let's look at trump's activity with epstein too

Hubris

If the allegations are true, he needs to find another career! This is why integrity matters! The best leaders in history sacrifice themselves for something bigger than themselves. Natural leaders don’t sacrifice others to be leaders. The above statement is not political! It should be nonpartisan!

If Swalwell resigns then the MAGA Trump regime should resign as well Their crimes are just as bad as his

I find it strange that Trump has not commented: not even an “i wish him well!”

𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐎𝐍!̶

So remove him. I don't care what party does bad things, if they did it and there is proof , remove. Regardless of party. Why is this a novel idea?

Can we also do Trump?

With alt-text

Because the ones who know don’t have the power to stop him and the ones who have the power don’t care.

Maybe candidates for high office should have to answer questions under penalty of perjury. It would make for very interesting press conferences.

He should do it when Trump resigns. GOP never demand for this but Democrats race to do it and run fighting people out of office. Let them all go to trial- why have these women been silent for so long? We have a judicial system for this. Use it

You’ll only get away with that kind of behavior if you’re a Republican. Everyone knows going in that republicans are morally bankrupt.

It’s so upsetting.

He needs to go ASAP.

He has to step down.

Secondly, please write a detailed analysis of how conservatives vs liberals respond in diametrically opposite ways when one of their own is found out. Conservatives close ranks on the person while liberals hold them accountable. Of course there are exceptions on both sides, but there’s a norm. 3/n

The entire political class are pervs??

Damnit. Dudes that say all the right things and then turn out to be the worst. I really dug Swalwell too. I’m so sad. How? Why? Ugh. How are we only learning about this now?

Yep. Sucks. But at least, the very least, we realized how bad they are and moved on. I still get mad at myself about how disillusioned I was and prob will be again, ugh. The MAGA weirdos, however, dig in and make excuses. Crazy shit.

Jon Stewart’s show about Anthony was pure gold.

Weiner’s Weiner. One of the funniest Jon Stewart shows of his career.

The other D is a woman, and it’s about financial improprieties

America--land of the raped, and home of predator.

Where are the swalwell defenders now? The absolute scum have gone back into hiding 🫣

Release the Epstein files.

Wow. The corroboration in the CNN piece is damning. He's over.

How come all these people get organized when he is running for office and come out, I just want to know who is behind it because it was really well done. Too bad they can't do it with trump. This smearcampaign regardless if it is true or not is a well planned job.

50?!?! FIFTY?!?! Time to go, champ. I’ll never know what it’s like to have that much power, but.. for the love of god, WHY CANT WE JUST KEEP OUR HANDS TO OURSELVES?!?!? Why is common professionalism so difficult? He had to know this would come out. He had to..

CNN: When someone doesn’t consent to sex, that’s called RAPE.

Oh good, one less AIPAC Congressman.

You are saying what? We should cater to our rapists the same way Republicans do?

For now. And?

He has no shame and it's only Democrats who hold their own accountable.

what?

He does. It's not fair, but it's not a defense of Swalwell and his actions. Double Standards is not an excuse for no standards

This kind of BS used to have an immediate effect and the person would make an announcement they were resigning to spend more time with their family. Now they dig in and make it worse. This reflects badly on him. He needs to end his campaign. And we are going to need a good replacement asap.

Very disappointing.

50 former staffers? Swalwell’s hands are likely to cramp up from signing the next batch of cease and desist letters!

I’ll always remember that smug look on his face whenever he went on TV ✌️
