In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Democrats on Wednesday over mounting sexual assault allegations against former Rep. Eric Swalwell, questioning what they knew and why no one spoke out sooner.

The mounting allegations, which ultimately derailed his political future, followed his decision to exit California’s 2026 gubernatorial race just a day earlier. Also Justice Sonia Sotomayor apologizes for ‘hurtful’ public comments about Brett Kavanaugh on immigration, millions across 1,000 miles in path of triple threat as parade of severe weather continues through weekend and comedian Dave Chappelle called out Republicans in a new interview with NPR, accusing members of the political party of “weaponizing” transgender jokes.
