Washington DC (Converseer) – Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego have both withdrawn their endorsements of Eric Swalwell after a sexual assault allegation came out against the California gubernatorial candidate.
“What is described is indefensible. Women who come forward with accounts like this deserve to be heard with respect, not questioned or dismissed…” Gallego said.
“I am equally as shocked and upset about what has transpired. I am withdrawing my endorsement of Congressman Swalwell, effective immediately.”
Schiff also withdrew his endorsement.
“I have read the San Francisco Chronicle’s account and I am deeply distressed by its allegations. This woman was brave to come forward, and we should take her story seriously,” Schiff said.
“I am withdrawing my endorsement immediately, and believe that he should withdraw from the race.”
