In a shocking turn of events that has sent shockwaves through the swamp, progressive Squad leader Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) publicly stated she would vote to expel scandal-plagued Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) from Congress during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday.
This bombshell admission marks a stunning reversal for Democrats who have spent years protecting Swalwell despite his well-documented ties to Chinese spy Christine Fang, also known as "Fang Fang." For one of the most radical leftists in Congress to throw Swalwell under the bus signals just how toxic he's become—even to his own party.
The China Spy Scandal That Won't Go Away
Patriots remember the explosive 2020 revelations that Swalwell had an intimate relationship with suspected Chinese intelligence operative Christine Fang, who targeted rising American politicians. Despite this massive national security breach, Democrats circled the wagons and kept Swalwell on the House Intelligence Committee—giving a compromised politician access to America's most sensitive secrets.
Now, with Republicans back in control and President Trump's second-term agenda focused on rooting out corruption, even Swalwell's own party members are running for cover. Jayapal's statement represents the first major crack in the Democrat protection racket that has shielded the California congressman from accountability.
"The fact that even Pramila Jayapal—one of the most partisan Democrats in Congress—is willing to expel Swalwell shows just how indefensible his position has become," said a senior Republican aide familiar with House proceedings.
This development comes as House Republicans are reportedly preparing new investigations into Democrats who may have been compromised by foreign adversaries during the Biden administration's disastrous tenure.
Justice Finally Coming?
With Trump back in the White House and a real Attorney General in Pam Bondi cleaning house at the DOJ, the days of two-tiered justice protecting swamp creatures like Swalwell may finally be over. The question isn't whether Swalwell should be expelled—it's why it took this long.
Will other Democrats follow Jayapal's lead and finally put America's national security above party loyalty? Or will they continue protecting a congressman who got too cozy with communist China?
