The Elitist Media are known for hiding significant news that doesn’t align with their liberal agenda or generally naked Democrats look bad. Their ongoing omission of new allegations against U.S. Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA) stands as the latest example.
Per the Free Beacon:
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) will "soon" face sexual harassment allegations from a number of "credible women," including former staffers, according to the leader of the left-wing advocacy group Gen-Z for Change, who said she has been "personally working" with the women to expose a "pattern of manipulation and abuse of power."
The group's executive director, Cheyenne Hunt, detailed the impending allegations against Swalwell, who is running for governor of California, in a series of social media posts. Her original video was posted to Instagram in late March and cited a text from a woman who wrote, "You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don't speak up, right? And when I was 19 he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs and I have so many other friends that have similar experiences with him." Hunt said the message was "not an anomaly" but "part of a pattern."
These are troubling allegations for Swalwell, who is currently polling in the top tier of California’s open gubernatorial primary. In some polls, he places as high as 2nd. Were Swalwell a Republican, they would certainly make the evening news. But so far, not so much as a peep from the Elitist Media.
There are also the allegations of excessive childcare payments drawn from campaign funds, just one of a series of disturbing facts to emerge from a Sacramento Bee look into his finances that includes the verbally gymnastic “delayed taxes.” This has gone unreported by the media, as has the cease-and-desist letter Swalwell sent to the FBI over its proposed release of investigative files which probably include details of l’affaire Fang Fang.
Had a Republican committed any of these, let alone all of these, there would be significant coverage among the Elitist Media evening news. Not a second of this on ABC, CBS, or NBC.
But it’s (D)ifferent with Swalwell, a media darling going back to the Russia Hoax days. It’s pretty clear that were it not for double standards, there would be none at all.
