The first drunken encounter came on Sept. 19, the woman said, after Swalwell invited her out for drinks and she became so intoxicated that she didn’t remember the rest of the night but woke up naked in Swalwell’s hotel bed the next morning. Swalwell distanced himself from her afterward, she said, and the relationship “faded.”

Five years later, the woman was no longer working for the congressman when she attended an April 2024 charity gala honoring Swalwell. She said she went for drinks with Swalwell afterward and became so inebriated that she only remembers snippets of the night, though she says she does recall pushing him away and telling him, “No.”

Funny how everywhere she goes intoxication falls out of the sky and hits her and she ends up in these compromised situations. I can't stand Swalwell but I'm tired of the media treating women like helpless children.

She chose to go out with him. She chose to get blackout drunk with him. Take responsibility for your own actions, toots.
