U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., the congressman known for falsely claiming for years he had evidence of Trump campaign 2016 collusion with Russia and for putting a fabricated Trump phone transcript in the congressional record, has gone off the deep end this time, says talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh.
In his opening statement Wednesday in the impeachment trial of President Trump, Schiff charged that the results of elections cannot be trusted and Americans who vote are too stupid to make such decisions.
"He actually said it. The son of a ... actually said it," Limbaugh told his listeners.
Schiff said the Senate needs to stop an "attempt to use the powers of the presidency to cheat in an election for precisely this reason, the president's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box."
Explained Limbaugh: "Meaning we can't wait for the American people to decide because you people don't know enough to throw the guy out. The Democrats have to be in charge of this. Your vote doesn't count anymore."
"The president's misconduct cannot be decided at the ballot box, for we cannot be assured that the vote will be fairly won," Schiff claimed.
The president reacted to the Senate trial from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
"These are major sleazebags. It's a total hoax. It's a disgrace," he said.
The House impeachment managers contend Trump used the power of his office to pressure Ukraine to help him win the 2020 election then tried to cover up his scheme by obstructing Congress' investigation.

I seem to recall that a certain German politician in the 1920s had similar views. What Germany really needed was a strong leader who would run things effectively without all that partisanship.
Deep down, the Commies believe they have a “mandate from the masses” (whoever they are).
They see elections as a bourgeois thing.
He is living proof.... in his district, anyway.
They already practice this... recall the use of super delegates in the '16 primaries to select Hillary.
the fidiot looks and sounds constipated from head to tail...
“This can not be taken lightly. He has set up our cities to burn when Trump wins.”
Indeed. I just warned my wife against being in urban areas the week of the election.
Progressives are getting dangerously hysterical, building on Democrats’ win-at-all-costs rhetoric.
Schiff preemptively rejecting the outcome of the upcoming election is extremely dangerous, persuading the Left to prepare for their worst-case scenario (to wit: “orange dictatorial crime lord stole election and will put y’all in death camps”).
At least the 2016 outcome was a surprise, leaving the Left rattled for years.
2020 is predictable (short of a viable dark horse or outright assassination), and those opposing Trump are largely deciding it will be a sociopolitical apocalypse - and will prepare & respond accordingly.
We desperately need an “adult in the room”, a respectable Democrat (hopefully Dershowitz will do), to declare “this is not a viable case, there is no reason for hysteria, y’all get this crap out of here and get on with getting elected legitimately”. Otherwise (and likely) the Senate will soon vote to close this absurdity, leaving the Left whining about being victims of bias and what a horribly dangerous state they’re in now.
Only hope is this gets dismissed cleanly & quickly, and the public’s short-term attention span moves on to other nonsense ASAP.
Democrats oppose democracy.
I've heard this from several lefties; makes you wonder if their ultimate goal is outright dictatorship. I guess they're admitting that ANYONE that votes for them are morons.
Well I guess he knows his constituents.
this POS is still an infant. I’m guessing that he broke the floor/sidewalk with that thick skull.
As far as Voters being stupid... GO FORK YOURSELF YA JACKASS!!!!
The Demiranians want a government run solely by them and they’ll have their own electors to vote who’d be in power to rule.
Half of them are
Isn't that what the Senate is doing? Isn't that what the House already did? Or is it only the public ballot box used by all us pitiful, unwashed deplorables that's suspect?
A gift for the republican running against him.
All I can say about Adam ‘Schiffty’ Schiff is this. If brains were gasoline, he wouldn’t have enough to drive a pissant’s motorcycle around the inside of a Fruit Loop!!!!!
Says a former short bus rider.
Same in small towns, only my nearest town (7-8 thousand) is run the same way....by Republicans!
