White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tore into Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell for his alleged connections to a Chinese spy Thursday.
McEnany made the statement days after Axios reported Swalwell’s relationship with a Chinese spy, Christine Fang. Fang has reportedly had affairs with two Democratic mayors, and Swalwell has refused to detail their relationship.
McEnany argues it is hypocritical for Democrats to have accused President Donald Trump of being a Russian operative even as they were reportedly so easily duped.
Fox News Chief White House Correspondent John Roberts Tweeted,
“@PressSec on the Swalwell/China news: “For 4 years, President Trump was accused of being a Russian operative. It’s absolutely breathtakingly remarkable that the entity that was under control of a foreign power was the Democrats, including Eric Swalwell……”
“Democrats were accusing the Right of something they were doing all along. It was never Russia and the Republicans, it was the Democrats and China.”
Swalwell has denied any wrongdoing and argued Tuesday that the story was a hit piece orchestrated by Trump.
“I’ve been a critic of the president. I’ve spoken out against him. I was on both committees that worked to impeach him,” Swalwell, told Politico in an interview. “The timing feels like that should be looked at.”
U.S. intelligence reportedly believes Fang operated in the U.S. as the agent of the Chinese Ministry of State Security beginning in 2011.
