Dems knew Swalwell was dangerous to women, yet decided he’s the guy to promote and give more power to.

He was a known predator.

WTFH??

REMINDER: 357 members of Congress voted AGAINST making their own sexual misconduct records public. Only 38 Republicans and 27 Democrats voted to let people see the truth.

#TonyGonzales initially denied a sexual relationship. But he admitted to the affair in March, one day after he was forced into a runoff election in the #Republican primary, calling it a “lapse in judgment” & a “mistake.” He maintained that he had nothing to do with Santos-Aviles’s death.

Gonzales was then accused of pursuing a 2nd staff member, whom he reportedly pressed for nude photographs & sex in 2020, acc/o explicit texts published by The San Antonio Express-News.

In a WTF & leave-god-out-of-your-abusive-misconduct social media post, #TonyGonzales wrote, “There is a season for everything and God has a plan for us all … When Congress returns tomorrow, I will file my retirement from office.”

His message came hours after Rep #EricSwalwell, #Democrat of #California, announced his own intention to resign from #Congress amid allegations that he had sexually assaulted a fmr staff member.

Rep. Eric Swalwell of California says he will resign from Congress

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California says he will resign from Congress following sexual assault and misconduct allegations. The decision Monday caps a swift political fall for the seven-term lawmaker, who had been seen as one of the leading candidates in California’s gubernatorial race before dropping out after the allegations surfaced. Swalwell denies the allegations against him but apologized Monday for "mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.” The House Ethics Committee earlier Monday launched an investigation into whether Swalwell engaged in sexual misconduct toward an employee working under his supervision. Other lawmakers were pushing for a quick vote to expel Swalwell from Congress.

Heads-up: I'm going to get kind of personal about sex in this thread to make my point. I don't think what I'm saying here is particularly unusual, but it's the kind of thing people are reluctant to talk about, which I think is problematic, because talking about this stuff is necessary for dismantling #patriarchy and #rapeCulture.
This is about #EricSwalwell, but not just about him.
