Far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene plunged a House Homeland Security Committee hearing into chaos Wednesday by accusing Rep. Eric Swalwell of having a “sexual relationship with a Chinese spy” — leading Democrats to unsuccessfully demand that the remark be purged from the record.
Greene (R-Ga.) made the comment moments after Swalwell accused her of “anti-police rhetoric” and showed a print-out of a tweet she wrote promoting “Defund the FBI” merchandise in response to purported bureau bias. “That was quite entertaining from someone that had a sexual relationship with a Chinese spy — and everyone knows it,” Greene shot back, referring to Swalwell’s alleged romance with suspected Chinese agent Fang Fang.
“I move to take her words down,” exclaimed Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY).
“Completely inappropriate!”
Asked by committee chairman Mark Green (R-Tenn.) which words Goldman would like deleted from the record, the Lower Manhattan and brownstone Brooklyn Democrat answered: “Everything that the gentlelady from Georgia has said.”
“No, you need to be more specific,” Green replied.
“The accusations of an affair with a Chinese spy. Those are engaging in personalities,” Goldman said.
After several minutes of study, Green declared, “The chair rules that those words that were spoken are not going to be stricken from the record.” ***
Swalwell received a “defensive briefing” from the FBI that same year after Fang reportedly fundraised for his campaign and placed an intern in his office.
Most, if not all, of Swalwell’s GOP colleagues, including on the House Intelligence Committee, were unaware of his ties to Fang before a bombshell 2020 Axios report exposed her operation, in which she also allegedly seduced two Midwestern mayors.
House Republicans booted Swalwell from the intelligence committee this year, citing the relationship.

How is MTG repeating a long time claim News?
“Claims???”
“Everybody knows it.”
and she did it with a smile.
The far left little Stevie from the far left New Yawk Post is just now hearing about this?
“Claims???”
Indeed! ;-)
Most important question to ask, given what McCarthy said after meeting with the FBI about Swalwell……why is he still in Congress, let alone any committee?
And I would think the Homeland Security Committee isn’t that far away from whatever one he was thrown off.
Fang Fang
Bang Bang
Everybody knows what that Fang Fang thang was all about, Eric.
And “alleged”?
I think she has since changed her name to Wang Bang.
MTG’s pronouns are: “Maximum” and “Balls”
Typical media story. Something everyone has known for a long time, and they say MTG “claims” it happened.
Dan Goldman was born in Washington, D.C., to Susan (née Sachs) and Richard W. Goldman.[6] His father was a federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. who died when Goldman was a child.[6] His paternal grandparents were Rhoda Haas Goldman and Richard Goldman;[6] his great-grandfather was Walter A. Haas, president of Levi Strauss & Co.; and his great-great-grandfather was Abraham Haas, the founder of the Smart & Final chain of food stores. He was raised in a Conservative Jewish family[7] with his brother, Bill Goldman, who died at age 38 in a plane crash,[8] and sister, Alice Reiter.[9] He is an heir to the Levi Strauss & Co. fortune.[5]
Goldman’s financial disclosures indicate he has a line of credit from Goldman Sachs worth up to $50 million in addition to investments in weapons manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co., defense contractors Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, oil companies Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and Halliburton, and Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation & News Corp.[32] Goldman’s campaign said he will put his assets into a blind trust if elected and that he is no longer invested in Sturm, Ruger & Co.[33]
He makes approximately $201,000 in stock trader per day which is more than he makes as a congressman in a year.
She’s on a roll today.
She straight up called Head of Homeland Security, Mayorkas, a liar today when he was testifying about how secure the Southern border is.
I live in her district in NW GA and of course voted for her. Couldn’t be more proud. She put a beatdown on Mayorkas and Swalwell at the same committee hearing.
“Claims”?
Because she said it for the record in a congressional hearing.
““far right” when the true fascist here ...”
The far right has never been fascist.
Fascism is Communism light. The left.
Communism believes in the government owning private property.
Fascism believes in the government regulating private property. (Or today being in bed with them (Follow the money???))
