Schiff pulls endorsement of Los Angeles DA in wake of George Floyd protests
Fox News ^ | June 22 2020 | Ronn Blitzer

Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., withdrew his endorsement of Los Angeles District Attorney Jackie Lacey, who is seeking a third term in office.

Schiff had initially thrown his support behind Lacey last year, but the incumbent DA now faces a progressive challenger during a time when law enforcement is facing criticism across the country.

"This is a rare time in our nation's history. We have a responsibility to make profound changes to end systemic racism & reform criminal justice," Schiff tweeted Saturday, adding that he and California Assemblymember Laura Friedman "no longer feel our endorsement of Jackie Lacey a year ago has the same meaning. We have decided to withdraw it."

You watch. He’ll endorse George Gascon, the author of the ruinous Prop 47.

Say what you will about Jackie Lacey, the alternative, Gascon is FAR worse.

From someone who lives in this idiot Schiff’s district where he, unfortunately, has a lot of support.

So, the candidates approval numbers went up after that announcement? I can see the bumper stickers no.

“J. LACEY. NO LONGER SUPPORTED BY SCHIFF-4-BRAINS!’

Dear “Lyin Sack-o-Schiff,”

First off, DEFINE “systemic racism.”

Secondly, specify which laws or executive orders are racist.

Finally, explain why it is that this “systemic racism” that you claim is endemic, seems to be primarily found in dem controlled cities, counties and states.

Betcha can’t even complete the first of the three above assignments.

Mark
