Schiff: 'Our democracy is under threat' from Trump, Russia
The Hill ^ | November 7, 2017 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 11/07/2017 10:40:55 AM PST by jazusamo

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Tuesday told The Associated Press that Russia and some of President Trump’s policies are a threat to American democracy.

While Russia poses an external threat, “in many respects, the challenge from within is more serious because we have a president who takes issue with the First Amendment and a president who describes the press as the enemy of the people,” Schiff said.

He also cited Trump’s criticism of judges who rule against him and his efforts to limit immigration from Muslim-majority countries as threats to democracy, adding that Trump is attempting to undermine the ongoing probes into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Nothing is working, so it’s time to recycle old attacks.
Democrats are pathetic.

You mean the same judges who got slapped down by a unanimous Supreme Court?

and his efforts to limit immigration from Muslim-majority countries as threats to democracy

That's not a threat to democracy, it's a step towards sanity.

How is this loon getting away with these absurd comments without ONE Republican (we know the Dems are as batshat crazy as he is) saying ANYTHING???

Heck, if this were a R Rep, saying this during 0’s reign of terror, R’s would be clamoring to denounce said Rep, in lock step with Dems.

Geez.

one of the commie type idiot political hacks that’s ruined Californication. CA used to be a nice (and fairly sane) place and you could even raise your family there. Imagine that now, ha!

This Trump-Russia gaslighting is getting as bad as anything the USSR did. It’s a total fabrication and Schiff knows it. Disgusting.

Major projection.
I hate it when they say democracy. They are truly clueless about our country.
