Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California lashed out at Republicans and called the party a “dangerous cult” over a report that the names of Democrat lawmakers were found on a list possessed by a man caught near the U.S. Capitol with a gun and ammunition.
The 71-year-old man was arrested on Wednesday at the Capitol after he shouted at a guardsman and arrested for possessing a pistol without a license. Police said that he had been at the protest at the Capitol and posted memes related to the QAnon conspiracy theory on his social media.
Schiff used the incident to hammer away at Republican leadership on Thursday after CNN uncovered several Facebook posts from Rep. Marjorie Greene (R-Ga.) calling for the execution of Democratic leaders.
“You look at some of these members, including Representative Greene, who have threatened on social media prior to her election other members of Congress,” said Schiff to Wolf Blitzer on his CNN show.
“You have members like her who have suggested that attacks against students, murderous attacks on high school campuses like at Parkland were somehow fake, fraudulent, or false flag operations. And they’re being rewarded by [House Minority Leader Rep.] Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) with assignments on the education committee!” he continued.
“You know, the GOP leadership is becoming little more than a cult and a dangerous cult,” said Schiff.
Greene responded to the reports by claiming that the posts on her Facebook were written by members of her team, and did not express her personal views.
Schiff also criticized McCarthy for travelling to Florida to meet with President Donald Trump at his Mar-A-Lago residence.
“That is sadly where the GOP leadership is at in Congress, and that’s part of the reason why the Capitol looks like an armed fortress right now,” said Schiff.
Schiff said that he was disappointed at the permanent fencing being erected around the Capitol after the rioting by supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“It’s just awful to see the necessary presence of so many troops, National Guard troops, guarding the nation’s Capitol,” he continued. “I would have never imagined that would be necessary, and I hope that it won’t be necessary indefinitely.”
So I guess that makes democrats like shifty a cult as well or has he forgotten the man who shot Congressman Steve Scalise had a list as well….
he mentions and denegrates mccarthys pick of greene. what about nancys pick of swalwells flatulant ass on the intelligence commitee. he ws colluding with a chinese spy and helped get another chinese spy appointed as an intern. its sure is funny how demoncraps can dono wrong.
Adam “pencil neck” Schiff is just doing what the “read dangerous cult” the democRAT communist party has been doing during it’s entire existence; “PROJECTING WHAT THEY ARE AND DO ONTO THE OPPOSITION”. If ever there was an anti-American, treasonous cult that needs to be removed from America it is the democRAT communist party of America. They are responsible for every crime onthe books. And they are creating new ones all the time. Think about the 100 or more “deaths under suspicious circumstances” of Clinton friends and associates for starters.
So he just confirmed how stupid he truly is.
He has not one clue how he is showing the world that they think it is OK for the Democrats to call and label others DANGEROUS.
IFFF we try to voice OUR opinion or in any way say anything against their narrative then we are RACIST or DANGEROUS.
Seems he forgets that those that think they are the only one’s ALLOWED to accert an opinion are themselves the guilty party…..So VERY SAD…
JUST SAYIN’
Those cowardly congress people who still follow Trump need to be replaced.
Those cowardly congress people who continue to support Trump, or they’ll lose their jobs need to be replaced.
And this is the communist (Russia Russia Russia) democRAT that now is trying to say if you don’t agree with them (the democRAT cult) you are in a cult?
Flush all democRATS from office they are truly insane.
What is it that Trump has, that has the Democrats so scared of. I believe he has the support of America and the only way they could win was to cheat, but as I have always been taught the truth will come out and Trumps campaign promise to drain the swamp will happen
This most recent election has finally proven to patriotic Americans what most of us have known for a very long time; that Sen. Joe McCarthy was absolutely correct about communists in American government and American society. The only change to that is he understated the number of communists in the country. It was far more than he imagined. It took thousands in politics and media to pull off the “crime of the millennium”.
I meant he “misunderstood” the number of communists in the country even back in the 1950’s.
Some guy stopped Trump coming off the golf course and said: ‘Thank you for the last four years’, and Trump said: ‘Thank YOU, but we’re not finished yet.’ I think he DID sign the Insurrection Act. And if so, we’re in for some fireworks!
Shitty Schiff couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with the directions on the heel ~ Shut your filthy mouth Schiff~
How do these people continue to get elected. He (Shiff)is a liar and evil with a ton of power. Our politics are third world at best.
They are all making money at our expense with no real end in site. Our only protector and voice has been silenced and shunned by media and his own party. So sad for America.
They cheat and steal elections. That’s how they stay in power. The most disgusting party ever! And that includes the RINO’S
The Dominion Election machines were created for dictators in South America to make sure they never lose an election. Now the people of the United States need to do something about what the democRASTS will never allow to be corrected in our election system.
The answer to your question is found in Isaiah 5:20 and 2 Timothy 3:1-5
Hey Bug Eyes, have you met Steve Scalise? You are such a corrupt moron.
Lest he forget the shooting of Steve Scalise by one of HIS dangerous cult members?
I think leaking every bit of classified info you can get your grubby little rat paws on is a LOT more dangerous than a ‘cult’, Schiff-for-brains.
Enjoy eternity in hell Schiff for brains.
