from executive producer isaac saul this is tangle good morning good afternoon and good evening to the Tangle podcast, a place where you get views from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of our take.

I'm your host today, senior editor Will Kayback.

Today's topic covers the recent sexual assault and misconduct allegations that have been

leveled against now former Representative Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California. And it also

touches on the similar sexual misconduct allegations and the subsequent resignation of

Representative Tony Gonzalez, a Republican from Texas.

Swalwell's story is the focus here as five accusers have now come forward alleging a range of

crimes and the Los Angeles and Manhattan District Attorney's Office have also opened

investigations into those claims.

So we'll be mostly focusing on Swalwell today, but in my take and some of the commentary that you'll hear from the right and left,

we also talk about how these stories reveal some uncomfortable truths for both parties.

Before we get into today's topic, we have a quick correction from yesterday's edition,

which was about Hungary's elections. In the introduction to that edition, we wrote that neither

Trump nor Vice President Vance has commented on the result of the election. On Monday evening,

however, Vice President Vance did speak on the election in a Fox News interview,

saying that he was sad about Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban's loss, but not surprised by the outcome.

Now, this is a difficult one, because we typically write the introduction to the edition the day before it publishes.

And in this case, we wrote the

introduction before Vance made those comments on Monday evening. Now, we also should have caught that

on Tuesday morning, and we do have processes in place to make sure that we don't overlook updates like

this to stories on the morning of when we're in our final production process, but we just missed the Vance interview during that process yesterday.

So this is our 154th correction in Tangle's 359 week history, and our first correction since March 31st.
