Sen. Blackburn to Newsmax TV: Dems 'Far Too Cozy' With China
By: Sandy Fitzgerald
The Senator is absolutely right in all that she said in the interview. China 🇨🇳 is a clear and present danger to America. Where will democrats stand? With China or with America 🇺🇸.
Democrats have been "far too cozy with the Chinese government" rather than working with Republicans to get to the bottom of the threat to national security being posed by such matters as Rep. Eric Swalwell's connections with a reported female Chinese spy, Sen. Marsha Blackburn told Newsmax TV Saturday.
"It is quite the international story, and it just seems to get bigger and bigger," the Tennessee Republican said on Newsmax TV's " Saturday Report," adding that it should be at the top of the "to-do list" for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats to try to clear up the Swalwell matter, "but they don't want to talk about it."
The problem spreads even further than with Swalwell, said Blackburn.
"Down in Georgia, they have a candidate for Senate, Jon Ossoff, who has had very little of a career, even though he is a trust fund socialist, a young man of great privilege," she said. "He has worked for a company, a media company owned in part by the Chinese Communist Party but failed to disclose it during his primary, amended his filing, then changed his story and said, well, the money he earned was not above the $5,000 threshold."
Such instances, she said, "make you wonder what is going on with the Democrats and the Chinese."
Blackwell also said she's concerned about whether Joe Biden as president, will continue to cover for his son if the United States has issues with China, or if he will "protect US sovereignty against the Communist Party of China?"
The "new axis of evil" consists of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, added Blackburn.
"You've got the Chinese who are the innovators in this espionage, the Russians who are bankrolling it in Iran, and North Korea, loved to help implement a lot of evil-doing," said Blackburn. "They have not been able to get President (Donald) Trump to work with them."
Meanwhile, Blackburn discussed the news of the cyberattack on the U.S. government that has been blamed on Russia , saying that the Trump administration found out about it in weeks or months, unlike the Obama administration "where it took years" to find such intrusions.
She also questioned having Swalwell, D-Calif., on the House Intelligence Committee, including during the investigation into the cyberattacks, as he "has been compromised."
"We have to protect our nation, our secrets," she said. "We have to protect the work that we are doing, protect our men and women in uniform and our diplomatic corps."

When ever one of the Putin lackeys, such as a Blackburn, points over there----there is a reason for it.
I'm the President-- Stop ;laughing at me!
LOL!!!
Where? Trumps legal team of morons sure couldn't find them. The SCOTUS slammed the door in trumps face...twice and he was 2 and 62 in court. All these fraudulent votes....where the fuck are they? ZERO proof. Never was any. It was nothing more than a scam to protect trumps ego.
It was nothing more than a scam to make money.
That too.
Excellent!
Play it again Sam!
(Err... I mean "Play it again 'Gsquared;")
It wasn't Biden who cozied up to China to get patents for his kid.
Here is how Democrats "stole" the election...
They showed up and voted.
They showed up and voted.
WTF-- actually voting in undemocratic-- its pure SOCIALISM I tell you!
LOCK 'EM UP...LOCK 'EM UP!!!!
/sarc
Okay, cut off your fantasy enemy China ENTIRELY, instead of bitching every day about China being the evil empire and greatest danger America has ever known. The deflection from Trump's INTENTIONALLY delaying preventing the virus from ravaging all of America, from negligently leading to the preventable death of hundreds of thousands of Americans, and causing the economy to tank, by blaming China and attacking China in new ways every day with his mouthpiece liar-liar-pants-on-fire Pompeo WITH HARDLY AN OUNCE OF EVIDENCE OR TRUTH is BOUND to cause anyone with a brain in their heads to start to realize that MAYBE there is something wrong with all that.
So by cutting off China entirely, what do you think is going to happen? How is the American car industry going to manufacture cars? How are the appliance and electronics industries going to produce products without the needed parts? What will the farmers do without a buyer? Only the rich will be able to afford even necessities so many of which are presently imported from China, ESPECIALLY when so many Americans have by now depleted their life savings. Have you any idea how much China spent in the USA this year? Forget that happening again, because Trump's policies have now led to China's being forced to make itself TOTALLY self-sufficient, creating all its own supply chains wherever possible and able to purchase elsewhere what it cannot. There are soybeans for sale in Brazil, for example. Let's see how all that goes over with the American public.
Has China been provoking America in any way? Look at all the ways America has been provoking China - sailing warships through the Taiwan Straights, passing damning resolutions, banning and sanctioning Chinese industries and products.....etc. However, although sometimes China has been forced to follow suit, such as closing a Consulate, China has STEADILY offered the olive branch of 'Coopetition' (a word they coined combining cooperation and competition) but now that the 'blame China' game Trump played failed to save him his presidency, he is using it, and increasing it, to make solving the conflict with China exceptionally difficult, if not impossible, for Biden to work out. That is what I see in the seed posted here.
Eventually Americans will see the light, but hopefully, for their sake, not too late.
Buzz-- did you see this?
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday said this week’s cyber attack -- dubbed by one U.S. official as "the worst hacking case in the history of America" -- was "pretty clearly" the work of Russians.

Yup-- its once again a truly clear-cut case Deja-Vu All Over Again!
Clearly its RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!!!

And definitely NOT about China!
(Would Pompeo ever lie-- of course not!).
(Buzz if you can't see the video, Google something ;ike "Donald Trump Says China" to see if its on How Do You Do,or Toudo or Yoo-Hoo! one of those site you can see.
Well, if Pompeo actually told the truth about that, it was most likely because the evidence of it was so damdedly clear and obvious that he would have made even MORE of an irrevocable fool of himself and totally non-credible had he said it was from elsewhere.
Buzz, we do have some serious issues with China and you know my opinion about that, but this article is merely parroting Blackburn's phony propaganda about Democrats. It's nothing but a propagandistic hit piece.
Do not ignore the fact that I said "...HARDLY an ounce of evidence or truth...". I have never denied that there are some questionable issues, notwithstanding my being labeled a Chinese propagandist in a comment preceding yours. However, some of those have had their benefits for the vast majority of Chinese people even if they seem draconian to others. This article about Biden and the Democrats being influenced by China is not the place to discuss those issues.
I didn't ignore that part of your comment, and I agree that this anti-Democratic hit piece is not the place for a rational discussion about China or America/China relations.
Do you have evidence that Biden and the Democrats are or have ever been influenced by China to do anything that was detrimental to the American people? I'm sure Biden is as smart as you are, in which case he will only do what is good for the American people, even if it means cooperating with China.
Democrats aren't weak minded followers like trump is.
Talk about Draining The Swamp!
Sheesh-- under Trump , if anything, he carved out several new Swampland Extensions!
(And on government property yet!
I suppose he should give her one of those seemingly endless "Pre-emptive Pardons"...????
Okay, what specifically have democrats done or said that makes anyone believe they are in bed with the Chinese government? I am really curious.
So am I. I have no choice but to think that it is nothing but a disgusting example of throwing roadblocks in front of Biden's task to pull America out of the hole that Trump created and is CONTINUING to dig even deeper.
