Jesse Watters: Swalwell Scandal a “Highly Orchestrated” Political Assassination, Democrats Knew About It For Years

FOX News host Jesse Watters on Tuesday’s “The Five” said Democrats are admitting former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) behavior was well known among Democrats for years. Watters said Democrats used the knowledge of Swalwell’s alleged sexual assault to get him out of the California gubernatorial election. “The Democratic machine is ruthless,” Watters said. “They survive on blackmail, coverups, and coups. Now, Trump took on the Republican machine in ’16 and won. But so far, the Democrat machine remains unbeaten. And I’m not saying Swalwell’s a victim. He did this to him. He put the gun to his head, but the Democrat party pulled the trigger.”

JESSE WATTERS, FOX NEWS: The Democrat machine’s pretty slimy. If you think about it, Nancy Pelosi was Eric Swalwell’s mentor. She put him on the House Intel Committee, kept him there even after Fang Fang. Jeffries put him on J6 Committee, so he was sponsored. He was a rising star and they used him as a weapon to hurt Trump. And they looked the other way at all of these shenanigans until he threatened their power in California and then kaboom, coup, nuked on the eve of the primary. First shot fired Friday in the hometown paper, San Francisco Chronicle. That hurts. It was local. And then over the weekend you just see a domino of endorsements collapse. CNN gets the woman in spot shadow. The network, CBS, now have three women face out there. And then Monday he takes himself out. They didn’t even need this woman on Tuesday. You accused him of choking her, raping her, and drugging her. This was highly orchestrated, professionally organized. This was a political assassination. And I think it was only possible because the Democrat machine knew about all of this for years. And everybody in Washington is admitting they knew about it. Everybody is admitting this was all out there. Did the reporters dig? No. Did the Democrats protect the women? No. Not at all. I think it all happened the way Biden went down. They covered up his brain. Then he blew himself up at the debate, became a liability, threatened all their seats. And the coup happened. Same thing here. So the Democratic machine is ruthless. They survive on blackmail, coverups, and coups. Now, Trump took on the Republican machine in 16 and won. But so far the Democrat machine remains unbeaten. And I’m not saying Swalwell’s a victim. He did this to him. He put the gun to his head, but the Democrat party pulled the trigger.
