'Zero room for anyone who abuses their power': California Democrat reacts to Swalwell resignation

Published | Video Starts at 00:48

I am glad that these women have been able to come forward. I am glad that he has resigned. I'm glad that Tony Gonzalez resigned. I think, most importantly, they need to understand that If [Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzalez] were going to come before the Congress, they were going to be expelled. No one, certainly in a position of power, should be abusing women, abusing staff. In the case of Eric, there's allegations of rape. So I personally believe that these survivors are credible.
