A bunch of Democrats are having a "Republicans get away with sex crimes so why can't we" reaction to Eric Swalwell and that kind of unprincipled bullshit is why their party is historically unpopular right now.
I'm confused by this.
Swalwell swore he has never slept with a staffer in his 19 years in Congress but I don't hear him denying the sexual relationship with this staffer.
Somehow him saying "it was consensual" makes it OK he lied about sex with a staffer and cheating on his wife.
Even if it seems consensual having sex with a young subordinate staffer 15+ years younger than you is abuse.
