Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell and Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy had a heated back-and-forth on Social Media this weekend when Swalwell attacked the media personality for supporting Trump’s military actions in Iran.
The clear winner in the exchange was Portnoy, who roasted the California gubernatorial hopeful by highlighting his humiliating past sexcapades with a Chinese spy.
It can be recalled that Swalwell, a former House Intelligence Committee Democrat, had a sexual relationship with Fang Fang Fang, AKA Christine Fang, a Chinese spy and honey pot, who previously infiltrated his campaign headquarters. Swalwell cut ties with Fang in 2015 after a defensive briefing.
Initially on Saturday, Portnoy defended Trump, calling critics of the Iran strikes that killed Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday “yo-yo’s” and “borderline traitors.”
I always laugh at yo-yo’s who don’t have the 1st clue what information the President had that forced this decision. Even politicians who despise him but were briefed on the situation seem to agree with this operation. I guess lotta podcasters know better.

“Stick to sports. You’re at least half-right there,” Swalwell responded on Saturday, adding, “Your whiny-ass ain’t going to an Iran battlefield anytime soon. It’ll be poor kids from where I grew up.”
” Life must be pretty comfy in your suite. Stick to judging your favorite pizzas. The adults will sort out the wars,” Swalwell added.

The next morning, Portnoy said he had “never heard of” Swalwell but did a Google search, which revealed a scandal that Swalwell will never live down.
“You were literally removed from House Intelligence Committee for having your office infiltrated by a Chinese spy named Fang Fang,” Portnoy said.

More recently, Swalwell has come under fire for his sex life when his bizarre fetishes were discovered in his past writings.
As a Government and History student who wrote for the student newspaper at North Carolina’s Campbell University in the early 2000s, Swalwell penned disturbing, violent and erotic poems.
“And there beauty was, Formless and magnificent– A flurry of limbs and nails. She chased and I ran, I chased and She ran,” he wrote in one of his works.
“My anxious arm she bit— my scar is beautiful. While I screamed, She bent her lips to mine. Kissing till veins imploded and exploded, Till blood rolled down our chins, For bounded mouths cannot speak of parting.”
