Schiff: 'Republican Party has turned itself into a cult' of Trump's personality
The Hill ^ | June 2, 2019

Posted on 06/02/2019 10:05:30 AM PDT by SMGFan

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Sunday that he believes the Republican Party has turned into a "cult" of President Trump's personality and that GOP lawmakers likely wouldn't act in accordance with their Constitutional obligations.

Schiff made the comments on ABC's "This Week" while discussing the things Democrats should recognize while considering launching an impeachment inquiry.

"In terms of the impeachment process, it’s not mandated by the Constitution," Schiff said. "We can avail ourselves of this when the president demonstrates acts that are high crimes or misdemeanors. It is certainly true that much of his conduct qualifies for that, but at the same time we have to recognize the reality that one party, the Republican Party, has turned itself into a cult of the president's personality and is not likely to act consistent with its constitutional obligations."

More Progressive/Dem/Projection projection! Even the most gullible American now sees that the Progressive/Left’s projection tactic has become quite transparent and, now, ineffective!

Look at the guy coming in from the right.

He’s not coming in for security.

He’s coming in to block the camera.

He sees the camera and positions himself to block the camera.

I can identify with being a member of President Trump's cult. Hillary's mentor was a student of the Capone and Frank Nitty crime family. Just who does Committee Chairman Adam Schiff and the rest of the demonicrats identify with.

I have been hearing that more and more in other websites and articles. That Trump supporters are “cultists”. I hope this isn’t some kind of Freudian slip in which they are coming up with a plan to have us all labeled as “cultists” and the rules don’t apply to us.

The difference between a cult and a denomination is mostly size. We aren’t a cult. We’re a denomination!

Have school children sing songs about him? Have streets been named after him? Did he receive a Nobel Prize for doing absolutely nothing? Is his portrait in any school?

Constantly trying to mount a defense by disparaging Trump tells me that ol’ Schiff is “nervous in the service” and will soon be running for cover and claiming that HE is the object of a “witch hunt.”

Before or after he became president? If after, then I stand corrected. I’ve not heard about songs about him or poems about him said in schools like with 0bama.

Oh please, that is what they did with their messiah. Conservatism is not a cult like Marxism and just more DNC projection.

Nobody worships Trump or would even consider it like they did their black deity.

Rather humorous actually. One person is known to have committed crimes. The Left has circled the wagons around her.

She was the instigator of the Russian Collusion nonsense.

She is also the one who got a $150 million dollar donation to her foundation for facilitating Russia getting access to as much as 20% of our Uranium. Imagine if Trump had done that.

Imagine if Trump gave Iran $150 BILLION in cash, and let them go ahead and work on nuclear weapons and ICBM missiles.

Imagine if he had been born in Kenya.

Imagine if he ordered our nation’s top secret intelligence services to spy on Hillary’s campaign.

I could go on. So could all of you.

A cult of personality needs groups of children singing praise to The Great Leader.

You can find the videos of school children singing praise to Obama on youtube.

SNL did a segment where the women cast members sang "To Sir With Love" in praise to an enlarged picture of Obama.

Hey Adam...your state is literally becoming a $!thole. Perhaps you should you use your time more productively with cleaning it up rather than prattling on and on about Trump and his supporters. I think most people in this country (other than the 35% that will never wake up) are completely sick of hearing the dims whining about this president. Maybe a good political ad for Trump in re-election would be to list all the good things he has achieved in his presidency so far with so many people in government against everything he did or has been trying to achieve. Now imagine a world where congress actually works with him. The possibilities are astounding.
