Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif) went on NBC to complain about "President Trump using the threat of tariffs to bully other countries into doing what he wants them to do. Take his beef that Mexico and Canada should do more to stop fentanyl from coming into the United States from their countries. Why should they? These drugs are smuggled in by criminals. How is that the responsibility of the Mexican or Canadian governments?"
NBC's Kristen Welker asked "didn't the President's threat produce some positive results? Didn't they extradite almost 30 high-ranking cartel members to the US where they can be prosecuted? Hasn't cartel criminal activity at the border been reduced? What's wrong with that?"
Schiff said "since when do the ends justify the means? Since the men were arrested by Mexican police do we even know if they were read their Miranda rights at the time of their arrest? What proof do we have that any of the crimes they committed occurred inside the United States?"
"Well, isn't sending illegal drugs across the border a crime?" Welker asked. "Technically, isn't smuggling people across the border also a crime? Isn't it better to have these suspects behind bars while a case is being built?"
"Under our laws, everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty," Schiff asserted. "Many states and cities in our country have enacted laws calling for no bail release of mere suspects. I have no confidence that Trump and his ICE goons will have the kind of respect for this concept that we Democrats have."
In related news, according to records left by the Biden Administration, more than 100 men with ties to ISIS were apprehended illegally entering the US from Mexico. Only eight of them were deported or are still in custody. The rest were all let go inside the US. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland explained "we had no evidence they had committed any crimes. So we had to let them go. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard contradicted Garland, pointing out that "illegally entering our country is a crime. Considering that ISIS routinely murders anyone they please, men linked to this terrorist organization who have been caught illegally crossing into our country should have been deported--not set free to potentially prey upon innocent Americans."
“”Under our laws, everyone is considered innocent until proven guilty,” Schiff asserted.”
He’s really talking about himself.
That’s the way the world works these days. GET USED TO IT. Americans are tired of being suckers to the entire friggin planet.
If insisting on and forcing reciprocal treatment in trade between countries is “bullying”, so be it. As with a recalcitrant mule, you first have to get their attention.
Was Schiff able to say this with a straight face?
The Left only makes up words like “bullying” so that they can later abuse them.
Americans have been bullied by racists, environmentalwackos, politicians, communists, foreigners and all the other assorted criminals across the fruited plain for decades. It’s time to stand up and stop being played for suckers.
What “concept” is Mrs. Schiff’s little Adam talking about? Playing with his navel lint and staring at his genitals.
Adam Schiff an unconscionable idiot no ability to think about anything a trained lemming to whine.
It’s a wonder his parents didn’t sell him or at least give him a toaster to play with in the bath tub.
I predict his future will soon become unnaturally bleak.
Yeah. Just like any health professional telling a morbidly obese person they should lose weight is bullying.
