Democrats may replace Eric Swalwell with first Muslim Congresswoman in California

Recently, the California Democrat Eric Swalwell was forced to resign over sexual assault accusations. But now, one can wonder if all this was planned as an excuse to elect a Muslim Congresswoman instead, specifically of Afghan background:

Aisha Wahab, an Afghan Muslim, appears to have the inside track and is holding the process ‘hostage’.

Five Democratic candidates running in the regularly-scheduled primary to succeed Swalwell for a full term have pledged they would not also run in the June 16 special election. Their hope is that rallying around a single candidate would ensure that person wins an outright majority in the primary and could be quickly sworn in.

But one Democratic contender, state Sen. Aisha Wahab, has not signed on, according to two people familiar with the document and granted anonymity to describe it. Having two or more Democrats on the ballot in the reliably blue district would all but guarantee the need for a run-off in mid-August, and the winner would not be seated until Congress returned from its August recess.

Wahab, who is also running for a full term, didn’t immediately respond to a text message seeking comment. She’s endorsed by institutional players including the California Democratic Party, Wieckowski and members of the state’s congressional delegation — Reps. Robert Garcia, Kevin Mullin and Lateefah Simon — but the large crop of Democratic contenders is nevertheless expected to dilute the vote.

The California Democratic Party would be a rather major ‘institutional player’ indeed.

State Sen. Aisha Wahab’s gender politics though make Swalwell look like a feminist.

Sen. Aisha Wahab, the first Afghan or Muslim senator, who had joined with her political allies to amend Senate Bill 1414 to protect those soliciting 16-year-olds for sex. Worse still, the process weakened the punishment for child predators.

What's chilling is that she's willing to enable child endangerment, which makes her worse in some ways than Swalwell. She's the kind of disgrace that Phyllis Chesler's spoken about in the past. And now, the Democrat party's taking steps to practically replace a considerable number of regular members with those of Muslim backgrounds. That's a telling clue to where they're going in the future.
