The Spin
Republican narrative
This is only the latest Democrat to have been close to an alleged Chinese spy. Before this, former Sen. Diane Feinstein's driver turned out to be a spy; then Congressman Eric Swalwell was allegedly linked to a Chinese spy; and vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has spoken at Chinese Communist Party-linked events. There seems to be a trend in the Democratic Party.
Democratic narrative
Any attempts to link Democratic politicians to Chinese spies are ridiculous, a prime example being this indictment. Kathy Hochul's office was the one who discovered Sun's alleged misconduct, immediately fired her from her job, and reported its concerns to law enforcement. The only thing the governor's office is responsible for is doing its due diligence.
