Swalwell, Who Said We Should 'Believe Survivors,' Issues Denial Saying We Shouldn't Believe Women Who Say They Survived Sex Abuse By Him

Friday was a very bad day for California gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell.

All week had been pretty bad, actually — starting with rumblings that allegations of sexual misconduct were about to drop against him and that women hadn’t come forward in some cases because they’d signed non-disclosure agreements. Swalwell’s team denied these claims as “false, outrageous” smears and said no NDAs had been signed.

Then, on Friday, the dominoes began to fall. First came a San Francisco Chronicle piece, in which one ex-staffer accused Swalwell of sexually abusing her, taking advantage of the fact that she was too inebriated to consent on multiple occasions. She had corroborating evidence of this.

This was followed by a CNN report in which more women came forward telling similar stories of sexual misconduct, also with evidence to back it up.

And, to top it all off, Politico ran a story in which they revealed that even the NDA denial was a lie; at least one staffer had signed such a form to settle an employment discrimination claim.

Throughout the day, pretty much every elected Democratic official or organization who could distance themselves from Swalwell eventually did. This included his mentor and closest ally in California politics, Sen. Adam Schiff, who said that he was “withdrawing my endorsement immediately” and called on Swalwell to withdraw from the race.

I have read the San Francisco Chronicle’s account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations. This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously. I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race. https://t.co/tdXgfl0OAt — Adam Schiff (@AdamSchiff) April 10, 2026
