Dems Being Treated Unfairly

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif) complains that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy's determination to keep him off the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) "is so unfair."

McCarthy defended his position, pointing out that "Swalwell's long-term sexual liaison with a Chinese spy indicates that he should not be privy to the kind of sensitive national security information that the HPSCI deals with on a regular basis."

Swalwell called McCarthy's explanation "unconvincing. President Biden stored classified documents at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, DC. This Center was funded by Chinese Communist Party money and included sharing office space with CEFC China Energy. If I'm not fit for sitting on the HPSCI, how is Biden fit to remain president?"

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) is also targeted for removal from the HPSCI by McCarthy "for his incessant leaking and lying," the Speaker said. "Leaking is a violation of the law. And the constant lying marks him as untrustworthy. There's no way he should be on this committee."

Schiff dismissed McCarthy's standards as "naive and out-dated. The election of President Biden--perhaps the most prolific liar to ever hold the office--shows that the voters don't demand honesty from their rulers. As an elected official, McCarthy ought to abide by the wishes of the American people."
