Far-left Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) was confronted Wednesday during a House Committee on Homeland Security hearing by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) over his reported sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, Fang Fang.
After Swalwell’s attacks upon the GOP during the hearing, Greene said, “That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy. And everyone knows it!”
Democrats immediately tried to get Greene’s words stricken from the record and demanded she stops speaking.
Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) shouted at the chairman, “I move to take her words down.”
When pressed, he said he wanted “everything that the gentle lady from Georgia has said” to be stricken, including “accusations of an affair with a Chinese spy.”
“Those are engaging in personalities, and … those words should be taken down, and the gentle lady should not be able to speak anymore in this hearing,” he said.
When asked if Greene would retract her statement, she said, “No, I will not.”
“The chair rules that those words that were spoken are not going to be stricken from the record,” said Chairman Mark Greene (R-TN).
The reason Swalwell was removed from the Intelligence Committee was that he had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy, according to Greene.
“The woman at the center of the operation, a Chinese national named Fang Fang or Christine Fang, targeted up-and-coming local politicians in the Bay Area and across the country who had the potential to make it big on the national stage,” wrote Axios in a 2020 report.
During an interview on The View, Swalwell claimed, “First and foremost, and you don’t have to take my word for it, take the FBI’s word for it…when they told me who she …I did everything that I hoped everyone would do, which was to cooperate and help the FBI, and she was removed,” although he did not deny the sexual relationship with Fang Fang, even if he claims he didn’t know she was a spy.
