Rosie O\u2019Donnell <\/b>has addressed previously supporting politician Eric Swalwell <\/b>before his sexual misconduct scandal came to light.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t help but feel all of the chaos of the country when you\u2019re there, like, you can\u2019t help but feel it,\u201d O\u2019Donnell, 64, said in a recent TikTok<\/span> video about her recent trip across the pond from Ireland to visit family. \u201cCan we talk for a little bit about Eric Swalwell? I know that guy.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Donnell further revealed that she had previously spoken with Swalwall, 45, \u201con the phone a couple times\u201d and likely donated money to his campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201c[I] talked about him in some public appearances years ago about how I believed in him and his cute little family,\u201d the actress recalled. \u201c[I spoke about him] standing up to all those people when he berates them for their moral-less behavior, and then all this comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tNancy Pelosi, Hakeem Jeffries and more prominent Democrats are reacting to claims Eric Swalwell, a Democratic congressman representing California\u2019s 14th congressional district, sexually assaulted and harassed multiple women. \u201cThis extremely sensitive matter must be appropriately investigated with full transparency and accountability,\u201d Pelosi said in a statement in response to the allegations. \u201cAs I discussed with [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

News broke earlier in April that multiple women, including one of Swalwell\u2019s former staffers, accused the disgraced congressman<\/span> of sexual misconduct and harassment. He vehemently denied the accusations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the frontrunner for governor,\u201d Swalwell said in a statement<\/span>. \u201cFor nearly 20 years, I have served the public \u2014 as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued, \u201cI do not suggest to you in any way that I am perfect or that I\u2019m a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in my past. Those mistakes are between me and my wife. And to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in this position.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swalwall has been married to Brittany Watts<\/b><\/span>, with whom he shares three children, since 2016. While Watts has not publicly addressed the scandal, Swalwall has since resigned from his position<\/span> in the U.S. Congress and suspended his campaign for California governor.<\/p>\n

As for O\u2019Donnell, she found the scandal to be \u201cheartbreaking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tRosie O\u2019Donnell revealed she secretly traveled to the United States after leaving the country amid Donald Trump\u2019s second term as president. \u201cI was recently home for two weeks and I did not really tell anyone,\u201d O\u2019Donnell, 63, said after calling into SiriusXM\u2019s Cuomo Mornings on Friday, February 13. \u201cI just went to see my family. [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI wrote him a little message, and I said, \u2018Bill Clinton<\/b> broke my heart and now you did too,\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cThe conclusion I\u2019ve come to: \u2018Men suck.\u2019 The way that they are physiologically they can\u2019t, sort of, control their sexual urges. This is what I find.\u201d<\/p>\n
