While Hirono may appear amusing with her lack of skills, and Swalwell may seem ridiculous with his phony tough stances and involvement with a Chinese spy, it is Schiff who has arguably caused the most harm to the nation. He spent years claiming to have solid proof of Trump colluding with Russia, but never provided it, leading to his eventual censure. As the Chair of the House Intelligence Committee in 2019, he led the misguided first impeachment of Trump over a phone call.
Unfortunately, voters in California have never held him accountable, and instead, he has been rewarded with a Senate position for his continual deceit and fruitless investigations.
Recently, during an appearance on “Meet the Press,” Schiff continued his pattern of dodging real questions. When host Kristen Welker posed what initially seemed like a tough question:
WELKER: I do want to ask you about the Democratic Party. There’s a new book out by Chris Whipple who reports that in the days before President Biden’s devastating debate performance with President Trump, his first chief of staff, Ron Klain, returned to help him prep. Klain reports that he was surprised by the fact that he thought that President Biden was struggling to focus. He said he seemed confused about President Trump’s policies, and even fell asleep by the pool after cutting one debate prep session short. Do you think that former President Biden’s advisors misled the American people about his capacities?
SEN. ADAM SCHIFF: You know, it’s hard for me to gauge what the closest advisors to the president were seeing at the time. I can only speak to the interactions that I had with him, which were, you know, in the months leading up to his getting out of the race, largely ceremonial occasions. But, you know, I will say this. He made the decision to get out of the race. I think that was the right decision.
He simply ignored the question and then quickly moved onto subjects she hadn’t asked him about. You’d expect that from the truth-challenged senator, but surely Welker followed up and pointed out that he never answered her query? Heck no, she too just moved on too like nothing happened.
It’s this type of garbage, folks, that makes the mainstream media less trustworthy than your local loan shark.
