Schiff, when asked if he was surprised that McCarthy suggested suspending him from Alex Wagner Tonight, said, “Nothing he does surprises me. It’s the same man who gave the surveillance video to Tucker Carlson. He’ll do whatever Trump wants him to do, and I’m sure Trump prides himself on having McCarthy and the House Republicans go after me. It’s about pleasing his boss at Mar-a-Lago and the public loves Donald Trump. So it doesn’t surprise me. McCarthy has also made it clear that he will do everything he can to prevent me from being elected to the Senate, where he knows I would be more effective in pushing back these attempts to break down the rule of law. I think that’s part of what’s at work here.”
It has become clear that McCarthy is on a mission to punish Adam Schiff for upholding the rule of law and ensure that Trump was impeached for attempting to blackmail Ukraine and withhold military aid appropriated by Congress to coerce the Ukrainians. interfering in the 2020 election. for him.
Rep. Schiff was extremely blunt. Trump wants Schiff destroyed and McCarthy does what the former president wants. Outside of Trump himself, it’s rare to see someone in a position of power look as consistently weak as Kevin McCarthy.
Speaker McCarthy is trying to prevent Schiff from winning the election for the open California Senate seat because of the message it would send if Schiff rebelled against Trump and was rewarded by voters with a promotion to the U.S. Senate.
Kevin McCarthy tries to stop Adam Schiff, but it’s entirely possible that Schiff will outlive both Trump and McCarthy.
