In a move that perfectly encapsulates everything wrong with the swamp, Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has been elevated to ranking member of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party—despite taking thousands of dollars from pro-CCP businessmen and cozying up to Beijing-friendly influencers.
The California Democrat's appointment to the very committee designed to counter Chinese influence in America should alarm every patriot who understands the threat the CCP poses to our republic. How can we trust someone who has financially benefited from China-linked donors to protect American interests?
Social media quickly lit up with announcements of Khanna's new role. News India tweeted, "Rep. Ro Khanna Named Ranking Member of House Select Committee on China," while IndUS Tech Tank noted that "Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi has stepped down from the role."
The CCP Connection
According to reports, Khanna hasn't just taken money from questionable sources—he's also maintained friendly relationships with Beijing apologists like streamer Hasan Piker, who regularly spouts anti-American propaganda to millions of young viewers. This is who Democrats think should lead their efforts against Chinese influence?
The timing couldn't be more suspicious. As President Trump's second term focuses on putting America First and countering the CCP's growing threat, Democrats are installing someone with clear conflicts of interest in a position of oversight. It's almost as if they want to sabotage efforts to protect our national security.
This appointment exposes the fundamental problem with the Democrat Party: they simply cannot be trusted to put America's interests above their own political and financial gain. While Trump and Republicans work to strengthen our defenses against Chinese infiltration, Democrats are handing key positions to those compromised by foreign cash.
Patriots must ask themselves: If Democrats won't even vet their own committee leadership for CCP connections, how can they be trusted to protect America from our greatest geopolitical rival?
