WASHINGTON, DC - FEBRUARY 24: House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) speaks to reporters after receiving a briefing in the House Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) at the U.S. Capitol Building on February 24, 2022 in Washington, DC. Schiff spoke to reporters about the intelligence he had received on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier Thursday and additional action he believes U.S. President Joe Biden should take against Russia.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced on Thursday that he will run for the Senate seat currently held by fellow Democrat Dianne Feinstein.
Schiff, a former House Intelligence Committee chair and proponent of the unfounded Trump-Russia collusion theory, posted a video to Twitter highlighting his case, dedicating multiple portions of the ad to former President Donald Trump and impeachment.
“Today’s Republican Party is gutting the middle class, threatening our democracy. They aren’t going to stop. We have to stop them,” Schiff said. “The struggle isn’t over. Not for me, not for you, not for our country.”
The announcement comes the day after Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) informed Schiff that he would be kicked off the Intelligence Committee, a move Schiff called “petty political payback.” The Republican leader cited Schiff’s lack of “integrity.”
Schiff is the latest Democrat to seek the seat Feinstein, 89, has held since the early 1990s. Although she had not publicly revealed whether she will run again, Feinstein’s advanced age and the recent loss of her husband have caused many to speculate that she will decide to retire from the Senate at the end of 2024.
Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), who has been hailed as a strong “progressive” by the Left, announced her candidacy in mid-January as California was dealing with an onslaught of severe weather. Shortly after, Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA) told Congressional Black Caucus members that she plans to run for the seat as well, two sources familiar with the matter reportedly told POLITICO.
Feinstein said she would reveal her 2024 plans at a later date.
“Everyone is of course welcome to throw their hat in the ring, and I will make an announcement concerning my plans for 2024 at the appropriate time. Right now I’m focused on ensuring California has all the resources it needs to cope with the devastating storms slamming the state and leaving more than a dozen dead,” said Feinstein.
Mitch will gleefully welcome Schifty into the exclusive club
Schiff for Brains is PERFECT for the Senate....he’ll fit right in with Crazy Mazie and Chuck the Schmuck.
Ed Buck’s squeaky toy knows regardless of his disgusting history he will win
When was the last time California elected a man to the Senate?
1852......................
“Schiff is the latest Democrat to seek the seat Feinstein, 89, has held since the early 1990s”
Damn we need term limits. SMH
Feinstein said she would reveal her 2024 plans after her staff changes her diaper.
Shifty is not a man in the real meaning of the word.
You don’t like Nixon?
Anybody back me up if I run for Schifty’s vacant rep seat? I live in bug eye’s district
This is why we have so many problems with our government. The same POS people running for all the offices.
There’s a handful of FReepers who will support this wanker based solely on that.
“Today’s Republican Party is gutting the middle class, threatening our democracy. They aren’t going to stop. We have to stop them,” Schiff said. “The struggle isn’t over. Not for me, not for you, not for our country.”
He’s full of bull Schiff, as usual. And there’s the lefty weasel phrase, “our democracy.”
She’s not officially dead yet
Schiff for brains should run for toilet seat 🚽
Can’t make this Shiff up. He will undergo a sex change, if needed.
The pipeline to China will continue uninterrupted….How f’ing stupid are Cali voters?
I keep thinking there is a Conservative actor lurking that could pull it off. Not Sorbo or Scott Baio, though I like those guys very much...would never work. I think Larry Elder has had enough of this crap. Something is tickling my brain. I think for CA it’s got to be a ‘personality’. Any thoughts?
Dean Cain?.....................
