I farted on national televisionSwalwell
... U.S. Representative-for-Life from Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 15th congressional district since 2013. Naturally he's a Dem. His district covers most of eastern Alameda County and part of central Contra Costa County. He was rapidly eliminated from the 2020 Dem nomination pool. He looks a lot like Greg Marmelard, and has the distinction of being one of the few politicians to ever fart on national teevee...over his ties to a suspected Chinese spy, prompting the Democrat to fire back: "You do not get to say that s—t."
The Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security and Enforcement hearing turned bad-tempered after Swalwell (D-Calif.) spent his question time interrogating border security advocate Sheena Rodriguez about her presence on the Capitol grounds during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.
At one point during Swalwell’s grilling of the witness, a Republican politician asked him to yield, but he declined and continued until his time expired.
That’s when Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) stepped in.
"I apologize that you had to — you’re here for a hearing on the border, [Democrats] don’t want to talk about a border," Nehls told Rodriguez, who was at the hearing to testify about the exploitation of migrant children she claimed to have witnessed during more than three dozen visits to the US-Mexico border.
"Mr. Swalwell is down there, obviously everyone knows he’s made some comments," Nehls continued. "He’s got a checkered past. His alleged relationship —"
"I’m sorry, a checkered past?" Swalwell interjected.
"It’s my time!" Nehls responded. "Alleged affairs — relationship — with Yum-Yum."
"No, no, no, no, no," Swalwell shouted. "You do not get to say that s—t. That’s not true."
"He had alleged relationships with Yum-Yum," Nehls continued, "and now he’s angry."
Nehls was referring to purported honeytrap Christine Fang, also known as "Fang-Fang," who entered the US as a college student in 2011 and allegedly spent the next four years wooing politicians to get close to sensitive government intelligence.
The alleged affair cost Swalwell his place on the House Intelligence Committee earlier this year, with Speaker Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
(R-Calif.) telling Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries that Swalwell and fellow California Democrat Adam Schiff
...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"...
had "severely undermined [the committee’s] primary national security and oversight missions — ultimately leaving our nation less safe."
