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."

Schiff is only demonstrating what an idiot he, Schiff is.

As I said before, but it cries out to be said again: “It is better to stay silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt.”

again Rats just still don’t understand!

Trump is the crest of the wave. He’s the part you see but he’s not the wave. That build up of that came earlier. The first hint of its seriousness was the Tea Party. And you laughed at that!

To the lawyer Schiff. It’s other High Crimes AND misdemeanors. Not knowing and/or acknowledging that should cost you your congressional seat.

Go ahead and name any other candidate who could have won in the face of the spying and weaponization of the US intelligence agencies.

I am 100% behind DJT until that mess is cleaned up.

Hey Congressman Schitt:

Everyone likes a winner ... and nobody likes a bug-eyed, whining loser.

MAGA.

BITE ME.

Trump didn’t get elected for his personality.
Trump got elected to seal the borders.
