Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) just can’t shake off the jokes about his cozy relationship with a Chinese spy. This time, Republican Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) really let him have it during a committee meeting. Waltz pulled no punches, suggesting that Swalwell might be an expert in how China infiltrates our government due to his past entanglement with a Chinese spy.

The irony of Swalwell lecturing on China’s influence while being embroiled in a scandal involving a Chinese spy did not escape Waltz, who made sure to drive the point home with some sharp words. Swalwell, a staunch ally of President Joe Biden, faced intense scrutiny after his connection to Chinese national Christine Fang was revealed. Despite being cleared of any wrongdoing by the FBI, Swalwell continues to face mockery and criticism from his political adversaries.
The conservative camp wasted no time seizing on this opportunity to take jabs at Swalwell, pointing out his questionable spending of campaign donations on luxurious trips and accommodations. Not even news anchor Tucker Carlson could resist poking fun at Swalwell’s expenses, painting a vivid picture of the congressman living it up on his donors’ dime.
In the cutthroat world of politics, Swalwell’s credibility took another hit as he found himself at the center of both the Chinese spy controversy and the campaign finance scandal. With opponents like Waltz sharpening their swords and the internet ablaze with memes and comments, Swalwell’s reputation as a progressive firebrand seems to be going up in flames faster than he can say “Chinese spy.”
