On Tuesday, Republican Senator and former presidential candidate, Senator McCarthy, laid waste to Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell for his ties to a Chinese spy.
In a heated exchange between the two politicians, Senator McCarthy accused Swalwell of having been briefed by the FBI about his relationship with the Chinese spy, Fang Fang, and not taking appropriate action.
McCarthy said, “If you got the briefing I got from the FBI, you would have done exactly what I did. You would have cut all ties immediately.”
Swalwell has been under scrutiny for his relationship with Fang Fang, a suspected Chinese spy who reportedly worked to cultivate relationships with elected officials in the Bay Area. Swalwell has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that he was unaware of Fang Fang’s activities.
McCarthy accused Swalwell of being “naive” and “reckless” in his dealings with Fang Fang. He also accused Swalwell of not taking the appropriate action after being briefed by the FBI.
McCarthy said, “You should have cut all ties to her immediately and you didn’t. You should have reported it to the FBI immediately and you didn’t.”
Swalwell has denied any wrongdoing and has stated that he was unaware of Fang Fang’s activities. He has also called for an investigation into the matter.
The exchange between McCarthy and Swalwell has raised questions about the security of US intelligence and the potential for foreign influence on US elections. It has also highlighted the need for elected officials to take appropriate action when presented with information about potential foreign interference.
You know who COULDN'T get a security clearance????? Ivanka and Jared Kusher!!!! So Trump had to ORDER that they be given one!!! That's TRUTH. McCarthy deals in lies. Swalwell took Trump to Court. THAT is ALL this is about. McCarthy is acting on Trump's enemies list, because Trump IS McCarthy's puppeteer. And now McCarthy has to PAY for the Speaker votes he BOUGHT to get elected. AND with Schiff it's about Trump's Impeachment. This is all about revenge. McCarthy is LYING TO YOU.
So now the repulicons love the FBI??? trump hated the FBI. He believed Putin over what the FBI told him.
Swallwell should be in prison for treason
He is right on the nose about Swalwell. But why wasn’t he raising pure and bloody hell when the dems did nothing? He was silent. So he is to blame too. Sooner or later he will revert to form and make a back room deal with dems. Probably for the debt ceiling. I know he will.
MSM is just the propaganda wing of the Democratic party.
Starting to like this Mccarthy guy. Lol
He should have been booted from Congress when they discovered his relationship with a Chinese spy. Pelosi is guilty of keeping a sleeper agent on our IS Intelligence Committee.
Swalwell belongs in prison!!
Kevin McCarthy deliberately lets his voters from San Joaquin Valley die of thirst. Kevin McCarthy is a ruthless murderer. Defend yourself against him and his mendacious family.
Big question here is why is even allowed to be a congressman when he was sleeping with a Chinese spy? Should he not be in jail for passing government intelligence info to the enemy?
Get them Kevin
Wow a back bone..Hurray!!
That was the most most clear-cut, precise and direct answer to a question that's come from the Speaker of the House in the last 4 years 4 years.
Investigate him for treason!
YEAH, KEVIN!! Both barrels! Love it.
Swal load is a threat to national security bottom line
Call them out. Kevin we are starting to believe you. Good job
Way to go McCarthy! Cannot have compromised actors on such sensitive committees! Take a deep look into those compromised members! Let’s see where the media fits in as well.
What happened, did the holdouts on the vote for speaker of the house, hold him down and surgically attach testies??? Looking good.
About time the traitor is recognized as a threat.
Talks good bs we shall see – I’ll believe it when I see it
