Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is taking decisive action to remove scandal-plagued Democrat Eric Swalwell from the House of Representatives altogether, as explosive sexual assault allegations continue mounting against the California congressman who was already compromised by a Chinese spy.
The move comes as Swalwell faces a growing chorus of accusations that Democrats would normally demand we "believe all victims" about – except when it's one of their own, apparently. Luna's filing represents the first concrete action to hold Swalwell accountable for his pattern of alleged misconduct and national security failures.
Pattern of Scandals Finally Catching Up
This latest development couldn't happen to a more deserving politician. Swalwell has been a lightning rod of controversy, from his well-documented relationship with Chinese spy Fang Fang to his relentless promotion of the Russia collusion hoax that wasted millions in taxpayer dollars and poisoned American politics for years.
Now, with serious sexual assault allegations surfacing, Luna is doing what House Republican leadership should have done long ago – moving to remove this compromised congressman from office entirely. Where was this accountability when Swalwell was leaking classified information and cozying up to foreign agents?
"The American people deserve representatives who aren't compromised by foreign adversaries or facing credible allegations of serious crimes," a source close to Luna's office indicated.
The timing is particularly damaging for Democrats, who have spent years lecturing Americans about believing accusers and holding powerful men accountable. Yet when one of their own faces multiple allegations, suddenly the party of #MeToo goes conspicuously silent.
Long Overdue Accountability
Patriots across the nation are asking: Why did it take this long? Swalwell should have been expelled years ago when his Chinese spy connections were exposed. Instead, House Democrats kept him on the Intelligence Committee with access to our nation's most sensitive secrets.
Luna's bold action sends a clear message that the days of protecting compromised Democrats are over. With Republicans controlling Congress, there's finally a chance for real accountability in Washington.
Will Nancy Pelosi's former allies finally face consequences for their actions, or will Democrats circle the wagons to protect another scandal-ridden member of their caucus?
