Rep. Eric Swalwell and Christine ‘Fang Fang’ were a beautiful couple. (Although Rep. Ro Khanna had a shot.) And then it all went wrong. But now, even as he faces an indictment for mortgage fraud, Swalwell may be trying to win her back.
Swalwell is said to be mulling a run for governor, pitting him against heavyweights like Rep. Katie Porker, Xavier Becerra and Comrade Xi (who has warned that he will decline to serve if nominated, but will invade if he wins) and what other possible reason could a member of Congress potentially facing an indictment have for running for governor… except true love.
As just another congressman, Swalwell was small potatoes, but as governor, Chinese spies would be all over him.
Sure, some old dead white male slave owner (probably, I mean he was white, wasn’t he and non-Muslim) once wrote, “Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds”, but sometimes you have to win the love of the spy girl of your dreams with a dead end bit of running for governor followed by an even more hypothetical presidential race.
While we here at The Point have often taken shots at Rep. Swalwell and his policy of loose international relations, but we wish him much success in his latest romantic gesture towards the East.
California voters have previously voted in two governors, Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom, who spent half their time visiting China and signing unilateral treaties promising to do whatever Xi tells them to do. But why settle for only fellow travelers and useful idiots, when California can have its first Chinese Communist First Lady?
