Cover Ups & Deception
Amid last week’s resignation of Eric Swalwell from Congress, former congressman George Santos says Senator Ruben Gallego was among those alleged to have engaged in well-known secret sexual romps at the nation’s capital. Santos claimed that it was a regular practice for some U.S. House and Senate members to engage in “lewd or alleged sexual misconduct-like behavior with staff or reporters” in the House office buildings’ basement storage rooms, nicknamed “cages.” Santos and Gallego had neighboring offices when their time in Congress overlapped. Their offices were connected by an internal door between the two.
Swalwell and Gallego were known “best friends” for years. These “birds-of-a-feather spent a significant amount of time together outside of their elected duties. “Extracurriculars” per insiders included barhopping around D.C. Gallego was Swalwell’s presidential campaign manager and best friend. The two spent many days on the road and at “boozy fundraisers.” He said he knew Swalwell was “flirty” and heard "rumors” Really? You either knew & covered it up or were complicit!
Because of the intense pressure, Gallego advocated for the expulsion of his former longtime friend from Congress. Trying to distance himself, he denied any prior knowledge of allegations of assault, harassment, or predatory behavior. He stated, “I trusted someone who I believed was a friend, but it is now clear that he is not the person I thought I knew. The women who have come forward have shown courage. They deserve to be believed, to be supported, and to see justice served.” Gallego said he believes Eric Swalwell is no longer fit to be a member of Congress. That is laughable! The pot calling the kettle black! We in Arizona should demand that Gallego resign from Congress, either for complicity in sexual misconduct or pretending to be totally ignorant of malfeasance which is equally disqualifying!
This revelation begs the question; how do we trust those who represent us in Congress? What about the corruption of insider trader Nancy Pelosi and Ilhan Omar who has been investigated since 2014? She blames an “accounting error” for the enormous discrepancy of her $30 million net worth that she now claims is only $18,000-$95,000 (a strangely large range). According to Tom Emmer, House Majority Whip, from Minnesota, Omar has long been known as a hateful, dishonest, anti-Semitic fraud who is suspected of taxpayer fraud in the Feeding Our Future scam where 63 people have already been convicted and 96 indicted, mostly Somalis who she represents. Coincidence? Emmer said he is digging into her files linked to millions in the Somali Fraud Scheme and the Ethics committee is holding an internal investigation into it.
While I am sure there is potential corruption on both sides of the aisle, the evidence is overwhelming that the Democrats, many who hate our country, have no respect for their oath of office, and feel that it is perfectly fine for them to steal from and cheat the American people with impunity. America is their playground and their piggy bank! It has to be stopped!
