Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) may never see the end of jokes about Chinese spies.

On Wednesday, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) took it to another level when he said his colleague, who allegedly had a romantic relationship with a Chinese spy last year, “knows a thing or two about how China penetrates our government.”

“I find it incredibly rich Mr. Swalwell was going to come to this committee and lecture us about how China penetrates our government. I think that’s something he may know a thing or two about,” said Rep. Waltz as he looked around the committee room.

The sexual innuendo came while House Republicans continued their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden. Swalwell, an ally of Biden, was previously investigated by the House Ethics Committee after his partner Christine Fang was named as a suspect in an investigation into Chinese spy programs inside the United States. Fang was believed to have targeted Swalwell’s campaign and up-and-coming politicians in California, according to The Hill.

Rep. Swalwell cooperated with the FBI in its investigation and was cleared of wrongdoing last May, but his opponents continue to wield the Chinese spy jokes as a cudgel to silence the previously vocal progressive. He has been heckled at town halls in his district and had public meltdowns after GOP colleagues have previously made jokes at his expense.

The internet was unsparing in sharing takes on Waltz’s shot at the Democrat.

“Swalwell has to retire now. He will never recover from this burn,” added another.

In addition to Chinese spy attacks, Swalwell last year had to contend with allegations that he spend campaign donations on luxury travel, private jets, and pricey hotel stays.

“When he’s not shagging Chinese spies, he gets to travel all over the world at his donors’ expense,” joked Tucker Carlson while covering Swalwell’s latest financial reports. “If he wants to he can hang out on the beach in a Hawaiian shirt with an umbrella drink, gold chains, and a chest wig.”
