Television host Jen Psaki pulled no punches over the slate of Republican candidates facing voters Tuesday night, some of whom were already being toppled by their own voters as primary races stretched into the night.

Speaking on Wednesday's broadcast of The Briefing with Jen Psaki (video), she built her commentary around a contrast between how the two parties have handled members facing serious allegations.

"Former Democratic congressman Eric Swalwell … is important because especially when you look at the Republican races we are watching tonight," Psaki said. "Swalwell, as we all know, faced massive pressure to resign from his seat amid a flurry of sexual assault allegations. And even though Swalwell denied those allegations, officials … consider[ed] these allegations serious enough to universally push to show Swalwell the exit. Now, compare that to how it has gone for Republican congressman Cory Mills."

Mills was running for reelection in Florida's 7th Congressional District despite being under investigation by the House Ethics Committee. The inquiries include allegations that he assaulted a former girlfriend, allegations of stolen valor for obtaining a Bronze Star on false pretenses, and allegations of financial misconduct.

"Unlike Swalwell, Mills has not been pressured to resign his seat to drop out of the race. None of that. President Trump even endorsed him in February after most of those allegations, I would note, were already public," Psaki said.

Trump's endorsement did nothing to help the scandal-plagued Mills, as the Associated Press projected him losing to Republican challenger Ryan Elijah. In a cycle where ethics issues and personal conduct complaints have repeatedly surfaced in GOP contests, the result underscored that the final decision in these primaries remained with voters rather than party leaders.

"It's really important to remember that it was not the Republican Party that did that. It wasn't Republican leadership. It wasn't Donald Trump — certainly not. It wasn't [House Speaker] Mike Johnson, wasn't any of them. It was the voters," Psaki said.

The Mills race was not the wildest in Florida, she added, pointing to the state's 19th Congressional District, where 10 Trump loyalists were battling for the GOP primary Wednesday night.

"Two of them are convicted felons — I am not making that detail up. And guess what? Both of them were pardoned by President Trump," Psaki said.

One is John Strand, a January 6 rioter who was photographed pushing past Capitol Police officers to enter the Capitol and disrupt the 2020 election. Strand later texted, "we stormed the capitol. It was insane."

"Thank God the other convicted felon who was pardoned by Trump running in Florida's 19th district is former New York congressman Chris Collins. And you may remember this guy, because he resigned from Congress in 2019 and pleaded guilty to insider trading and lying to the FBI," Psaki said.

Trump pardoned Collins a year later, giving the former legislator the opportunity to sell his cozy relationship with Trump to voters.

Also running in Florida's 19th District was former North Carolina congressman Madison Cawthorn, even as polling showed him behind Wednesday night.

"A few years ago, Cawthorn faced his own allegations of sexually aggressive behavior from multiple women. Cawthorn denied those allegations, but ended up losing his seat to none other than Chuck Edwards, who just ended his own campaign for Congress this month after he faced his own sexual harassment allegations, which he also denied," Psaki said.

"What a Grand Old Party," Psaki concluded. "Indeed, you cannot make this up."
