What Adam Schiff did yesterday on live television during the Impeachment investigation hearing was inexcusable.
There are no words to properly convey how unprofessional and out of line Mr. Schiff was, when he made up an entire fake conversation between President Trump and the President of Ukraine, and presented it as if it were “real.”
Millions of people watched Mr. Schiff, as he spun a wild fan-fiction tale that made President Trump sound like a traitor who should be impeached.
It was all a lie, but he didn’t admit to that until much, much later. Watch the video below, of Schiff’s fairytale story:
Wow.
My jaw is on the floor.
“Intelligence” Committee Adam Schiff just fabricated, out of thin-air, the contents of the Trump phone call with Ukraine’s President.
Not a word he says here is true. Not. A. Word.
This entire dark carnival is sad, unhinged Orange Man Bad fan fiction. pic.twitter.com/EzzFDt9BIU— Benny (@bennyjohnson) September 26, 2019

Objective reporting for the educated American.
Literally, people’s jaws were on the floor as they watched this spectacle, shocked at the lies being spewed on the House floor, and across the TV airwaves.
“Adam Schiff is making things up as he goes. This is the same chairman who lied to the American public for the last 2 years when he said he had evidence—beyond circumstantial—of collusion. He has put America through a nightmare.”

“Adam Schiff continually pushed that he had evidence on Russian Collusion that no one else saw,
Now he is fabricating the contents of President Trump’s call with Ukraine.
Nothing he has said is true. This man is charge or the House Intelligence Commitee…
He needs to be fired”

Finally, after so much backlash, Schiff was forced to admit that his opening statement was a just a “joke” or a “parody” as he called it.
Are you kidding me?
Watch the video below, where Schiff admits it was all a joke.

Again, what Adam Schiff did — that stunt he pulled was so wildly out of line that he must be fired for it. There must be ramifications for this lawless, shameless propaganda that these unhinged Democrats participate in.
The calls for Schiff’s resignation have reached a fever pitch.
“Calls for Adam Schiff to resign after he read a grossly exaggerated, distorted, ridiculously embellished version of the transcript into the record. He argued it was just ‘parody’. But, it’s his admission that reading the transcript verbatim wouldn’t have sounded bad.”

“Adam Schiff said his summary of Trump’s phone call was meant to be “part parody”
An impeachment inquiry isn’t the time for jokes coming from the House Intel Committee Chair who LIED about evidence for years about Russian collusion!
RT if you agree Adam Schiff should resign!”

When is he going to resign???”

“Adam Schiff continues to prove he can NOT be trusted.
President Trump has been the most transparent President in modern history and the left still can’t get over 2016.
Schiff should RESIGN as Intel Committee Chair.”

And now the tide is really turning against Pencil Neck…President Trump is now calling for Schiff to be fired.
“President Trump just called for Adam Schiff to resign over his blatant lies in his opening statement, yesterday.
Retweet if you agree.”

“…sound horrible, and me sound guilty. HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT. Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!”

President Trump on Friday called on Rep. Adam Schiff to resign, accusing the Democratic chairman of the House Intelligence Committee of “fraudulently” reading to Congress a nonexistent version of his call with the Ukrainian president.
“Rep. Adam Schiff fraudulently read to Congress, with millions of people watching, a version of my conversation with the President of Ukraine that doesn’t exist,” the president said in a tweet
“He was supposedly reading the exact transcribed version of the call, but he completely changed the words to make it sound horrible, an (sic) me sound guilty,” he wrote as he renewed his claim that his conversation with President Volodymyr Zelensky was “perfect.”
“HE WAS DESPERATE AND HE GOT CAUGHT,” Trump continued. “Adam Schiff therefore lied to Congress and attempted to defraud the American Public. He has been doing this for two years. I am calling for him to immediately resign from Congress based on this fraud!” [New York Post]
Schiff must step down, or be booted from Congress. He is no longer fit to be a member of Congress.
