The rot in the Democratic Party runs deeper than anyone imagined. According to Washington Examiner columnist Guy Benson, disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell's predatory behavior toward women wasn't some shocking revelation – it was common knowledge among Democrats who chose to look the other way.

Speaking on Fox Business's "The Evening Edit" Thursday, Benson dropped a bombshell about just how widespread the knowledge of Swalwell's misconduct really was within Democratic circles.

"Whisperings of Swalwell's involvement with women was almost like an open secret in Democratic politics," Benson revealed, exposing the party's culture of complicity and cover-ups.

The Party of Enablers

This revelation raises serious questions about every single Democrat who knew about Swalwell's behavior but stayed silent. How many Democratic leaders, donors, and activists were aware of his inappropriate conduct yet continued to support him? How many turned a blind eye while he sat on the Intelligence Committee with access to our nation's most sensitive secrets?

"Almost like an open secret in Democratic politics" – Guy Benson on Democrats' knowledge of Swalwell's behavior

Remember, this is the same Eric Swalwell who was compromised by Chinese spy Fang Fang, yet Democrats fought tooth and nail to keep him on the Intelligence Committee. Now we learn they also knew about his predatory behavior toward women and said nothing.

The hypocrisy is staggering. These are the same Democrats who lecture Americans about "believing all women" and fighting sexual assault. Yet when it came to one of their own, they circled the wagons and protected a predator.

Where Does It End?

Patriots, this isn't just about Eric Swalwell – it's about a systematic pattern of corruption and cover-ups that defines today's Democratic Party. From Hunter Biden's laptop to Anthony Weiner's scandals to now Swalwell's "open secret," Democrats consistently protect their own while destroying anyone who threatens their power.

How many more "open secrets" are Democratic insiders hiding from the American people? And when will voters finally hold this corrupt party accountable for their endless scandals and cover-ups?

This is exactly what we've been saying for years - the Democrats protect their own no matter what. Where was the media coverage when this was happening?

The mainstream media was too busy going after conservatives to report on actual scandals in their own party.

Will there be any consequences or will this just get swept under the rug like everything else? The American people deserve better than this corruption.

Not surprised at all. The same party that lectures us about morality stays silent when it's one of their own.

I work in DC and can confirm - everyone knew but nobody wanted to rock the boat. Party loyalty over doing what's right.

How is this guy still on the Intelligence Committee? The security implications alone should have disqualified him years ago.

Exactly! Any Republican would have been removed immediately. Double standards as usual.
