U.S. House Rep Adam Schiff (D-CA) was asked in a recent interview why shouldn’t Republicans be able to kick him off committees when they take the majority in January.
“Well, this is the same false equivalence they often use, which is, Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar were removed from their committees because they were inciting violence and fellow members of Congress,” Schiff smugly explained.
Schiff continued, “The day I start to incite violence against people I serve with or elsewhere, then fine, take me off my committee.”
“The moment I start engaging in insurrection, then fine, sanction me but don’t give me this false equivalence Mr. McCarthy and suggest that somehow leading legitimate investigations of Donald Trump’s corruption with Russia, Ukraine, and January 6 is somehow a legitimate basis to remove someone from their committee,” Schiff concluded.
In response to Schiff’s claims, Greene fired back, “You deserve to be kicked off committees for lying to the American people and supporting BLM violent riots all over America @RepAdamSchiff along w/ many of your colleagues. I’m looking forward to watching @GOPLeader remove you from committees.”
