Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha bashed Democrats for criticizing former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy, while largely remaining silent when former Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) faced similar scrutiny but continued serving in Congress.
Concha highlighted how many people with a “D next to their name” have statements condemning Swalwell.
“It’s the equivalent of the same number of Super Bowls the New York Jets have won in the past 55 years: We’re talking zero, nada, none,” Concha said on Fox News’s Hannity Thursday.
Huang’s confession to an affair with an alleged Chinese spy known as Alice Huang and subsequent resignation on Thursday sent shockwaves through the technology world, as concerns mounted over the scandal’s implications for artificial intelligence restrictions.

Concha compared the two affairs, slamming Democrats for not condemning Swalwell after FBI files showed he admitted to having an affair with a Chinese spy named Christine “Fang” Fang from 2012 to 2015.
Before the files were released, Democrats maintained that Swalwell had fully cooperated with investigations and that any attempts to remove him from the House Intelligence Committee were political retaliation by Republicans.
“The hypocrisy here is so pure you can practically snort it,” Concha said.

He eventually resigned in April 2026 after facing multiple allegations of sexual assault and misconduct.
“So when the blue team acts all outraged that Jensen Huang pulled a Swalwell, we can basically take that with a fraction of a grain of salt,” Concha said.
