Description

Two members of Congress, Democrat Eric Swalwell and Republican Tony Gonzales, announce their resignations as sexual misconduct scandals drive mounting political pressure on Capitol Hill. The U.S. moves forward with a sweeping maritime blockade of Iran following failed nuclear talks, escalating the standoff and targeting any vessels tied to Iranian ports. A federal judge dismisses President Donald Trump’s $10 billion defamation lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal, finding the paper did not meet the legal standard for actual malice in its reporting on the alleged Jeffrey Epstein birthday letter.

So, do the people who donated money to Swalwell's campaign get their money back?

Resigning is not justice. Much like Cuomo they just wait until it drops from the News cycle and they’ll crawl back Just like Biden’s mental decline, I’m more concerned with who knew what and when? These things didn’t happen in a vacuum and they only turned on Swalwell to give some other puppet a shot at the governor’s seat. Congress needs to remove that slush fund and clean house. These two weren’t alone and were TAUGHT that because of their position, these activities were condoned by their colleagues.

I'm calling for full investigation into the people stepping down for sexual abuse and frauding the American people.

I would say the performative male liberal feminist strikes again but really they just got rid of Swalwell to be a scapegoat. These are the same people who voted to not release their own sexual misconduct case files. This is a whole of congress issue.

Swalwell "Therefore, I plan to resign my seat in Congress." That's not a resignation

That's just the tip of the iceberg with Congress, why else do they need a taxpayer funded slush fund for sexual misconduct
