Eric Swalwell / MSNBC
The Swalwell campaign is not happy about a young Democrat activist accusing their boss of sexually harassing innocent women.
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday, Cheyenne Hunt, an attorney and former congressional candidate, says a number of women are preparing to accuse California Rep. Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct.
Hunt, the executive director of Gen Z for Change, said she has been working with multiple individuals who intend to come forward.
In a post on X, Hunt said the allegations involve “DMs and Snapchat messages” and range from uncomfortable comments to potentially criminal conduct.
“I got involved because the first victim who approached me is a close friend, but when I saw that there were others whose experiences fit the same pattern of manipulation and abuse of power, I knew I couldn’t stay silent,” Hunt wrote.
I have been working with a number of women who are in the process of coming forward and sharing their stories of sexual harassment and even alleged abuse at the hands of Eric Swalwell. Here’s why we’re talking about it before mainstream media:

Hunt also released a video on March 31 in which she said Swalwell “has a known history of being predatory towards women.”
One message she displayed read: “You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don’t speak up, right?”
“And when I was 19, he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs.”

@cheyennehuntca This message I recieved about Eric Swalwell is not an anomaly. While many folks may be afraid of speaking out, it is crucial that we bring these allegations to light and grapple with them. #news #politics ♬ original sound – Cheyenne Hunt
Swalwell campaign spokesman Micah Beasley issued a statement to Politico on Tuesday. In it, he not only slammed the allegations as “false and outrageous” but also accused Hunt of teaming up with “MAGA conspiracy theorists.”
“This false, outrageous rumor is being spread 27 days before an election begins by flailing opponents who have sadly teamed up with MAGA conspiracy theorists because they know Eric Swalwell is the frontrunner in this race,” Beasley asserted.
Beasley later added in his statement that Swalwell never forced anyone to sign an NDA.
“In 13 years, no one in Eric Swalwell’s Congressional office has ever been asked to sign an NDA. Ever,” Beasley said. “In 13 years, not a single ethics complaint by any staff in his office or any other office has ever been lodged. Ever.”
There is no evidence that Hunt has teamed with GOPers to spread these rumors about Swalwell. However, there is proof that Swalwell previously eroticized violence against women and once had an affair with a Chinese spy named Fang Fang.
