Fox News star Tucker Carlson dropped the hammer and called on Dem Rep Adam Schiff to resign from Congress in disgrace for spreading misinformation about Trump and Russia. Tucker said:
“Schiff knew there was nothing substantial at the core of the Russian collusion story. At the very center, it was hollow, it was a sham. But Schiff never suggested this in public. Instead, he did the opposite. He spent years on television telling you it was totally real, shut up.
“Every single time was a lie. If you were following this closely at the time, you might have suspected this. Schiff never produced any of this so-called evidence. He just asserted its existence.
“Adam Schiff is a sociopath. He will do or say anything to achieve power. He is unfit to hold office.
“He should resign. At the time, Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and every single committee.
“They had the power to expose this hoax and to shut it down. But they did not.”
Schiff however is looking for greener pastures and is running for Dianne Feinstein’s Senate seat. He said in his announcement:
“Our democracy is at great risk. Because GOP leaders care more about power than anything else. And because our economy isn’t working for millions of hard-working Americans. We’re in the fight of our lives—a fight I’m ready to lead as California’s next U.S. Senator.
“We’re in the fight of our lives—a fight I’m ready to lead as California’s next U.S. Senator.
“The Senate is where many of these fights over the future of our democracy take place.
“Some of Donald Trump’s biggest enablers are in the Senate. And I think that is where I can most effectively champion our democratic institutions.
“I have just tremendous respect for Sen. Feinstein and — more than respect — admiration, and affection.
But he will face stiff competition from other Dem Reps.
Democrat Rep. Katie Porter announced a run for Dianne’s Senate seat saying:
“California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy. Today, I’m proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.
“We’re living through a time of extraordinary change. I’m Katie Porter. Change can be electrifying and exhilarating, but change can also be disruptive — like the constant assault on our democracy and the dangerous imbalance in our economy.
“The threat from so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell has to often made the United States Senate the place where rights get revoked, special interests get rewarded, and our democracy gets rigged, especially in times like these.
“I don’t do Congress the way others often do,” she said. “I use whatever power I have to speak hard truths to the powers that be.”
