Democrat California Rep. Eric Swalwell’s past comments about how victims of sexual misconduct should make their accusations at public hearings have come back to haunt him – now that he is being accused of sexual misconduct. The scandal-plagued Swalwell has dropped out of California governor’s race and announced he plans to resign from Congress as claims of sexual misconduct mount and national media coverage of the accusations magnifies. Swalwell’s rejection of the women’s accusations has prompted social media users to post now-viral videos of comments the congressman made in 2018 during Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings. Like Swalwell, Kavanaugh faced accusations of sexual misconduct. Regarding the claims against Kavanaugh, Swalwell told MSNBC that public hearings should be held to "bring in all the victims, allow them to be heard, allow them to be questioned.” “That will clear his name if he's indeed innocent," Swalwell said.
