All these other people should be resigned and expelled.

But there's something so ugly about like, oh, we have to do it in pairs because we're only going to enforce our ethics.

in a bipartisan way, which tells you that actually what you need is some kind of a standard or process at the end of which there's a way in which you say, all right, this standard has been met.

We will vote to expel.

That won't be kind of abused or politicized or ignored by either side.

It's some kind of legal determination.

And by the way, I'm glad too that there was genuine reporting that dug in.

Because there were random posts on social media that were like, oh, Swalwell's a creep.

And someone was like, this is just a hit piece.

This is by the opponents.

And it's impossible to know.

It's hard to tell.

We don't know.

You can't go by that.

So it sort of like was a combination of like people kind of drumming this up online, including people sort of outside of traditional journalism and then it getting kind of a kind of, you know, journalistic outlets sort of putting in the resources to go and kind of run these things down, which ultimately I think is why it was able to successfully make the story breakthrough and get him to resign.

He was spending millions attacking Swalwell, which at this point means that money was just wasted.

Yeah, the argument for this, all redounding to Porter, is Steyer has spent whatever it is, over $100 million.

He's gotten to wherever he's gotten.

He's gotten billions of impressions, and he's sort of stuck where he is.

Katie Porter hasn't really spent anything.
