The lamestream woketard media are nothing but Democrat propagandists - i.e., shameless liars - who are not to be trusted about anything.
Imagine KNOWING Eric Swalwell was a deviant creeper for at least 13 years and never once saying or doing anything to keep him from gaining more and more power. And then, bragging about how you knew all along, once the victims step up and start telling their stories.
Like, your knowing about all of it was a good thing or makes you a good journalist ...
"Journalist"? HA! These lying frauds wouldn't know journalism if it bit them on their ass.
And they wonder WHY we make fun of and dislike them.
Take a look:
Steven Tavares (@eastbaycitizen) ~ I’ve covered Eric Swawell since he was a member of the Dublin City Council. Shortly after being elected to Congress in 2013, his behavior towards women was known by all levels of our local government and the Alameda County Democratic Party.
And you and your Democrat Party masters said and did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Woof ... YOU are just as much a deviant creep as Swalwell is!
See?
His behavior was known by journalists, the local government, AND the Alameda County Democratic Party.
And they did NOTHING to stop him.
Unreal that that happened, and it's even more unreal that a "journo" would brag about knowing and then play the victim when people point out how screwed up it is that he didn't say anything.
Tavares was quick to play the victim:
Steven Tavares (@eastbaycitizen) ~ Don’t get it twisted. Nobody has been more critical of Swalwell over the years. I tried repeatedly to get the stories out. I can’t force women to speak out, and when they chose not to, I didn’t push. I also knew that Swalwell was known to threaten litigation.
"Critical of Swalwell"?! Puhleeeeeeeease! You're a Democrat toe-sucking toadie, Tavares. Hey, don't get defensive when you willingly out yourself as a worthless, misogynistic coward. Tavares, you need to do something else for a living ... something you might possibly be good at, like digging ditches.
HE CAN'T FORCE THE VICTIMS TO SPEAK OUT.
ERIC WOULD SUE HIM.
REEEEE!
What a spineless toad.
Matt Van Swol (@mattvanswol) ~ {Replying to @eastbaycitizen} So, what you’re admitting here is that for 13 years, neither yourself, not anyone else in the local Democrat party decided to speak out on this or do any reporting whatsoever on his behavior towards women? Is that what you are saying here?
That's exactly what he's saying here.
Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) ~ {Replying to @eastbaycitizen} So, you all knew he was a skeezeball but didn’t tell anybody and kept pushing him for higher and higher public office instead? You think this makes you look any better than him?
It makes them all far worse.
They enabled a predator.
T. Becket Adams (@BecketAdams) ~ {Replying to @eastbaycitizen} What? Then, why are we hearing about it only now? Thirteen-plus years and everybody knew, and not a single journalist could lock down any of the details?
That whole (D) by his name thing ... yup.
Magills (@magills_) ~ {Replying to @eastbaycitizen} No offense but, admitting this makes you sound both unethical and shitty at your job.
How many women could have been saved if they had just spoken up? This is such a bizarre admission, and then a lame defense of it.
Dylan Housman (@Dylan_Housman) ~ Democrats and media REALLY want you to know that they knew the entire time that Eric Swalwell was a deviant sex pest and didn't say a damn word about it.
And they think it makes them the good guys.
Wow ... this is truly a clueless flex on their part. You are admitting that you were willing co-conspirators in Swalwell's immoral behavior. You didn't give a sh!t - until he got caught - and then, you try to puff yourself up as "someone who was always in the know."
