Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., said Tuesday that his close friendship with Rep. Eric Swalwell obscured his judgment about rumors that the California Democrat had engaged in potentially inappropriate behavior with women over the years.
ReplyDeleteMy friendship with him, our family’s friendship together with him, clouded my judgment, and I was wrong — I deeply, deeply regret that," Gallego told reporters at a news conference on Capitol Hill.
Gallego said he called the news conference to reject any suggestions that he was aware of Swalwell's alleged sexual misconduct toward women. The Democratic senator, who served in the House with Swalwell for a decade, said he had "no knowledge of predatory behavior, sexual assault, or harassment" that have been alleged against the married father of three.
The senator acknowledged that he had heard for "many years" that Swalwell was "just a flirty, social guy," but only recently asked him about the misconduct allegations after they surfaced.
"My family and his family were as close as it gets," Gallego told reporters in explaining why he trusted the House member. "Our kids were in baseball camp together. We had dinner together as a family."
But Gallego said that when rumors about sexual misconduct were circulating several weeks ago — before the San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday about a former Swalwell staffer accusing him of two sexual assaults — "I did ask him, and he lied to me," Gallego said.
But the TRUTH is that Many of the Democrats Knew for Years that Swalwell was doing what he has been accused of doing, but found it easy to Covered It Up!
And besides that they also found him to be a Good Ally for them against Donald Trump.
