"Swalwell, a now-former congressman who was running for governor of California, resigned from Congress last month over multiple sexual misconduct allegations, including rape and drugging. Swalwell acknowledged extramarital relationships but has denied the sexual assault allegations. In a New York Times report this week, it was revealed that Swalwell has still messaged staffers after his resignation. The report noted the messages they saw were not sexual in nature. Mr. Swalwell is still using Snapchat."
"As recently as this week, the report reads. Mr. Swalwell communicated directly with a former intern on the app and asked her why she had taken a screenshot of their chat history. CNN also reported that the night after their initial Swalwell allegations report went out, Swalwell personally sent Snapchat messages to two of the women. Why are you screenshotting my snap,' he asked one woman in a message sent around 2 a.m. Eastern, according to a video she provided CNN."
"Mace blasted the behavior as disgusting and typical of an alleged predator. Check out the exchange below: KAYLEIGH MCENANY: He says these messages are routine and yet he's still messaging these women at 1.57 a.m. saying it's about acknowledgement. NANCY MACE: It's disgusting. MCENANY: What do you think of that? Still. MACE: Well, it's traumatic and I've been working with survivors for the last couple of years and I'm a survivor myself, but this is very typical behavior of an alleged predator, continuing to harass and prey upon their own victims."
"I've seen it in my own life. I have seen it with victims I have been working with. In fact, in this country, if you are a victim, those that prey upon you can sue you."
