Eric Swalwell Suspends Calif. Gubernatorial Campaign and Now EVERYBODY Has the Same Question

Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell remains a member of Congress (for now), but considering the recent sexual misconduct allegations, he's decided to suspend his run for California governor: 

I am suspending my campaign for Governor.

To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.

I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

So, Swalwell's deeply sorry for his mistakes in judgment but the allegations are false? Interesting. 

But apparently Swalwell still thinks he's fully qualified to remain a member of Congress even after his dalliances with a Chinese spy while he was on the Intelligence Committee combined with these new accusations.

The questions ask themselves at this point: 

So your "mistakes" are bad enough that you can't run for governor... but you can still be a congressman? Make it make sense

Narrator: But it DOESN'T make sense.

So you admit you’re unfit to serve as governor, but you plan to remain in Congress? https://t.co/81gYN2IsIJ

Only remaining question for Swalwell’s political career is whether he resigns from Congress before his colleagues eject him. https://t.co/b4YkZRVgBC

Serious question. How are these allegations bad enough to suspend your campaign for governor, but you can still serve the state as a representative?

Swalwell's badly aging posts from the past tend to sum everything up:

This coming week will prove to be an interesting one. 

Oh, and one more thing:

NEW: DHS confirms to @FoxNews that Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is being investigated for allegations that he hired a Brazilian national as a nanny who doesn’t have work authorization in the U.S.

USCIS has been gathering details, which are now being referred to DHS for criminal…
