Rep. Adam Schiff read aloud an anonymous quote about what would happen to Republican senators if they voted against President Donald Trump in his impeachment trial. It did not land well.
The California Congressman, in ending the Democrats' three-day opening salvo, was discussing the internal politics each senator must face as they consider their votes. Then he read the quote from a CBS story: That a Trump ally said "GOP senators were warned ... 'vote against the president and your head will be on a pike.'"Several Republican senator murmured "not true" as soon as Schiff said it. Sen.
"I don't know if that's true. But when I read that, I was struck by the irony," Schiff said. "I hope it's not true. I hope it's not true."
It also happens to be true: ask Roger Stone and Ted (the cruge) Cruz and Paul Ryan.
Using Allen D theory....what is to stop Trump from cancelling all elections because in his mind he is the best for the country.
Another Aeschiff Fable.
It ruffled feathers because there is truth in that statement and it stung.
Ms. Alaska should hold her commander in chief to the same oratory standard. Ijs
The truth hurts! Boo boo
Only because they know it's true and paints their action as those of cowards which they are and that is painful to hear.
When the GOP takes back the House, Schiff will be the first conspirator to face Justice. He will do hard time in Federal prison for his actions.
Didn’t land well? Was it supposed to soothe them and boost their egos?
For republicans. But Trump proved it true when he blatantly threatened the very life of Schiff with a tweet.
We The People...
Republican Senators are feeling pressured by the oppressive dictator character who occupies the Oval Office, and like many other victims of oppression, they feel powerless. Rather than stand up to their oppressor, they have chosen to lash out at the messenger, Adam Schiff.
Poor babies.
I truly wish everyone would stop thinking these few Republicans will ever do the right thing. They will bury their heads and vote in party lines. They have no spine and are petrified of Trump tweeting about them.
Run For President, USA needs you! I am serious!
Because they knew he was right. May all of the GOP crash and burn in 2020 and beyond as they deserve.
You know he’s threatening them 24/7.
Ken, that’s bull. He referenced a publicly reported CBS news story. These R Senators won’t do their constitutional duty b/c of that? Proves they were never going to do it anyway. Don’t fall for the sanctimonious Republican distractions.
Not livid about abandoning allies or extorting a foreign ally to illegally meddle in an American election, but pretending to be shocked at the revelation that the guy who threatens literally everyone he meets threatened the jurors of his impeachment trial? HowStupidIsThis
Sometimes the truth hurts. R's need to suck it up and do their job.
Just resign and safe the taxpayers
It was all over the news. Tweeted all over. Is that jury tampering? trump making a threat?
Do we really fucking care? The fix has been on from the jump. Take out your anger in November, America.
Your piece doesn’t land well. The “fourth state” needs to get its shit together or it will perish amongst the democracy it’s helping destroy.
Truth hurts!
the truths become increasingly unneccesary for the gop over the last few years.
I think the pike is landed.
Not about Schiff or any 1 person. 4 Reps 2 make it about the pike thing is such BS! Schiff said they would do this, not the Reps necessarily but Trumps defense, which is really the same thing. Don’t get distracted. CorruptGop WitnessesNDocs CoverUp
Oh, I beg to differ
The truth never goes well with Republicans. Specially the truth about realDonaldTrump & his tight grip hold of the GOP. If we allow Republicans to continue to get away with the cover up of tRump’s crimes then we are done as a nation!
Why say that? It landed on the heart of the matter. dt welds power thru threats. Isn’t that the point RepAdamSchiff was making. R’s r bullied in2 obedience. They may pretend otherwise but we can see it 4ourselves. Don’t use reporting 2further a tyrants rule. Wake up.
The fauxtrage is amazing. Everyone to their fainting couches! BTW everyone with an IQ above 50 knew it was true the moment they heard it.
Shopcat4 Republicans should have Trump testify & be cross-examined. He’s the first hand source they’re demanding.
Yeah right 🙄 They all definitely believe this was said because they all know it's true. They're all terrified of the Trump base and would rather act outraged than admit they have to play along because they're scared
RepAdamSchiff is rumored to be under investigation by Barr! Two federal crimes in violation of ECPA & leaking classified info! I’m sure Schiff will create enough chaos to distract what he can!
Because they’re grabbing at anything to deflect people from hearing the real issues.
The man his lying bag manure...
Too bad. Good on Schiff. ❤
This article comes from a left wing paper and is just more fake news! But it is true that with Schiff’s continuous lies I don’t think any republicans will leave and vote against the President!
Trump’s “ head on pike” comment was in the public mainstream well before RepAdamSchiff brought it up in closing statements.
Lowest farm of life 😡. Lying democrats. But true coming out know and the rat democrats on the run. Vote republican 🇺🇸
The quote was out over he airways!
Adam Schiff isn’t the one who said it! He only read what was tweeted. Republicans better heed the call. If they don’t like it, find out who in the White House tweeted it out.
It was a PERFECT landing.
Hilarious watching all the losers and whiners who finally realize that the Schiffty and Nads show has been a total disaster. Their three days of repetitive nonsense was shredded, blown up and stomped on in three hours by the grown-ups.
Truth never does with the current gop officials. Death threats have been issued to witnesses. There is no bottom for them. GOPFAIL ImpeachmentEvidence AbuseOfPower
I don't think there is any doubt that Trump would be such a prick.
Stop trying to make it seem like those were his words someone said it on CBS and he also stated he doesnt know if it was true but. This is what he heard on CBS
Who cares.they are a bunch of cry babies like their master
He prefaced it by saying I don’t know if this is true or not. How in the hell do you bring something into an impeachment hearing to try to sway the jury Knowing you’re Being dishonest
That’s the kind of threats Russians & other autocracies do...
That was horrific, but all of this has been okay?:
Truth hurts
Typical republican response. Mad at the message, not the messenger.
Instead of getting mad at Adam Schiff, why not get mad at trump and his thugs who said that statement and we know someone said it. Schiff was just repeating what thugs would say.
Hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha running out of strings I see
The he goes making schifft up again
Poor babies! So sensitive! Somehow their sensitivities don’t extend to Trump’s tweets
WHY is that? Because IT'S TRUE? 🤔TrumpIsAMobBoss TrumpPutAHitOnAAUSAmbassador
Did no one else see the news release from the reporter with one of the false media admitting he made it up?! Sorry ... don’t remember his name ... from CNN? MSNBC? ... last night- Fri?!
Because it is the truth
Before he said it, the vote was going to be 53-47. The vote afterwards will be 53-47.
You forgot the part about how the Republican senators 'outrage' was fake.
Innuendo and non truth statements is his forte’ in y opinion!!!
He captionEd he didn’t know if it was true or not ... still those up for re-election in 2020 ... trump does threaten he always has ... for decades
We’re not buying this manufactured outrage. Republicans are looking for any justification whatsoever to acquit. We’re supposed to think that reading this quite negates all the evidence somehow? It sounds like Trump. I have no doubt he said it.
I don't understand, Schiff repeats a threat from the president and republicans are upset over it, what's the problem?
Everything and everyone Schitt says and knows is always anonymous
He achieved exactly what it needed. We all know they are going to subvert democracy for him and I’m glad he told them to their faces. I’m so sick of fake outrage when the POTUS is a daily outrage
Ex-GOP voters have given up trying to not anger Trump supporters. They‘re in perpetual Fox-fueled rage and primed to blow up if any (D) throws our President’s words and tactics back at them. Reserve outrage for a President using his office to ‘take out’ a loyal Ambassador 🇺🇸
Excuse me-the Republicans are out and out lying about everything. This statement was from a news source and is absolutely believable. You have no point here.
Why arent they going after CBS News? He cited the news story, not an anonymous quote. Try for more even handed reporting.
GOP aren't children. A memo released is not a reason to just blatantly ignore the duties they swore an oath to. Stop looking for an out. Mitch is leading Republicans down a road they will never recover from. Their families will be shamed for decades after this farce
Why do you say it did not land well? Because the GOP told you?
Republicans hate it when people talk about their skeletal secrets out loud like that. GiveOurselvestoPutin TuckFrump
I don't think he meant it as a joke. He called them out on their allegiance to realDonaldTrump vs The Constitution. Sensitive SenatorCollins and lisamurkowski got their feelings hurt FeignedOutrage
Any1 even halfway informed wd know both congressional intelligence committees verified long ago, pre Mueller, that FBI & DNC conspired against POTUS . Many documents verify it. Belief does not equal truth. Ignorance is a danger. I hope the responses here are bots & trolls.
Stop reporting fake outrage! Why do you guys fall into this trap?! Every. Time.
Great tactical step - perfect fit with managers strategy 🗽
oh please. don't report the faux outrage from GOP as if it's a real thing. esp when they're not outraged over all the actual offenses committed by the WH. don't fall for the distraction.
Where’s the outrage for the president’s behavior?
So you fell for the Republican faux outrage.
You’re wrong on this one.
CBS needs to back up what Schiff repeated AND unlike ALL the lies the GOP has told, Schiff repeatedly said he didn't know if it was true. Most of us, before Schiff said it, feel it's true. Other than Republicans are completely insane, there's no other reason to defend the MF.
An anonymous quote that THE MEDIA failed to even try to fact check at all. Instead spreads democrat party gossip like the National Enquirer
Sorry. False outrage from fans of a man who brags about grabbing women by the pussy doesn’t work.
Pussy grabbing = trumptapes Stormy Pay off = trumptapes Working with Parnas = trumptapes I want to hear the Ukraine Phone Call tapes...not read the redacted summary Trump gave us. WitnessesAndDocuments AmericansWantWitnesses WE DEMAND THE TRUTH
Why is this the story? They’re mad they’re being exposed for this sham of trial. The cover up is the ducking story.
The truth rarely does, especially around Republicans.
It landed with republicans manufacturing outrage and with the media giving this outrage credence like always. He skeptically quoted a cbs news report stop being so misleading
Or maybe it landed REALLY well.
You're failing. Again. Schiff quoted a published NEWS REPORT from an organization that stands by its reporting. Not just some random 'anonymous quote'.
For who, the complicit SenateGOP members who are clearly terrified of POTUS ability to knee-cap their own races? This is a perfect example of a compromised media, willing to normalize and divert attention from unprecedented corruption.
You mean for you? Because there are millions of us who have absolutely no issue with anything said.
Hes just a political bully. The fact that this conduct is what our elected reps have been doing for last year and not doing their actual job is disgusting and only highlights the swamp and why people voted for trump in first place.
Seriously? With all the proven criminal conduct of their 'chosen one' & THIS is what they get hung up on? How ridiculous! Now they're really looking in the crumbs for just any excuse to justify their pre-planned, 'pre-ordered' acquittal!
This is all BS Republican outrage! When the man in the White House calls Emigrants invaders, Black young men sons of biches, Women dogs.... This is an excuse not to do their duty
Schiff lied again.
Didn’t rand Paul basically say this on camera, not as dramatic as head on a pike, but the same sentiment
Too damn bad. It woke them up and it’s the truth
So if he hadn’t made reference to this one thing, they would have taken into consideration all of the evidence presented? Please. Ted Cruz is the only one who said what they ALL planned to do out loud - there was never any intention of being an open-minded, impartial juror.
Don't care one lick.
Reminder. Trump has lied over 16,000 times. Focus.
Or CBSnews reported from a GOP operative that trump said it and Adam Schiff repeated it and said I hope it’s not true. Why don’t you report it correctly? All-you want at clicks and access to the corrupt administration.
Repubs are determined to find something/anything to use as an excuse to acquit Trump regardless of what Democrats prove Trump is guilty of doing.
He would be laughed out of every court room in the world except for ours.
Schiff has been caught in so many bold face lies why should we believe ANYTHING he says A disgrace to our nation's leadership..we the people will soon let our voices be heard..landslide victory for Trump and a major housecleaning.
F*CK OFF . You know damn well SenateGOP worked in CO-ORDINATION with the Trump administration. They were always going to make an EXCUSE at the END of the Democrats presentation! NEVER TRUST lisamurkowski or SenatorCollins!
Why so mad guys if it's not true what is the problem Oh yeah we all think you guys are being strong armed and you look like it's working .. Trump's not king he's a fat old man with mental issues. He needs to be put in a home😁
Who cares about the quote. Republican Senators should know that if they cover for trump, they will be voted out in November.
Schiff is the champion of lies! He is not creditable on any level. He has no perception of truth. He is of bad character. What did we the people do by allowing him represent us? We the people fucked up!!! Democrats can't govern on any level.
The truth hurts
I can’t think of a reasonable human being that thinks Schiff is less than a piece of shit. He lied for three years about Russia. He lied about working with the whistleblower. And then he impeached a president on two charges that are actually not impeachable offenses.
To hear such a barbaric, horrific image summoned by such an elegant gentleman is jarring. I think it was quite effective because We can all too easily picture Trump saying it.
Can this idiot do anything but project?
Womp. Womp. Truth hurts, doesn’t it?
Stop w this headline
Your reporting would better serve the American people if you focused on finding out who the WH source was for the quote.
Well ANONYMOUS is an actual person right Didn't RepAdamSchiff, SenSchumer and SpeakerPelosi want ALL WITNESSES to Testify? So get a Court Order & subpeona ANONYMOUS, or did RepAdamSchiff try that and they are one of those people that realDonaldTrump told not to testfy?
Do they have the vapors about this?
Truth hurts doesn't it GOP TRAITORS!
This is why ppl say there are two laws, one for the poor an one for the wealthy, this is a perfect example of that.🤔
They’re upset because they know it’s true. Trump will retaliate and seek revenge against anyone who “crosses him.” It is - and always has been - his M.O. in business as well as politics. Why else do they fear him, his tweets, and his base?
This is trash. Pure trash on display.
So what? They just embarrassed to be exposed as weak and afraid
It landed perfectly. SenateGOP WhiteHouse POTUS GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPTraitors GOPCowards SenateCoverup FascistDinosaurs RightMattersTruthMatters AllRoadsLeadToPutin
The Senate saw the real RepAdamSchiff. This is what his character is. He has no right to criticize anyone.
SCHIFF seems so at ease with lies..and he is a leader in our nation...disgraceful.
Adam Schiff House manager’s put on a Brilliant first part of this impeachment trial of this corrupted president, you Thin skin Republicans upset because Schiff said head on a Pike LOL. So Juvenile u r not Listening to the facts but head on a Pike wow is that all.
Source of quote, PLEASE come forward.
Those moderate R senators always talk and then roll over ... Good for Schiff
GOP you can run but cannot hide We the people by the people 👀 you
Their outraged bc it's true
RepAdamSchiff as a former prosecutor you should have made sure where this was coming from? You spoke about Russians giving out misinformation and you should have investigated to the veracity of this.
If they're offended by that then they truly are not paying attention to what trump says and does daily.
How about Schiff stop all the BS and actually show his evidence...that’s right, he doesn’t have any!
So THAT’S the outrage they’re latching on to?! Really!!! Not the corrupt/illegal substance/evidence that house managers presented? A quote that may not be accurate but hasn’t been DISPROVEN yet? If that’s what swings their vote, they’re f’in morons on top of being cowards.
Please! U can’t lose something u never had! lisamurkowski has increasingly made her resistance to new witnesses/docs clear. & SenatorCollins is not open-minded or seeking truth—just wants to appear so! Their acquittal votes have been LOCKED since b4 ImpeachmentTrial began!
It’s just an excuse they will use to vote against witnesses. Imagine having no witnesses at a trial anywhere else. The good news is that thinking Americans see this Republican sham trial for what it is.
Oh my those poor RepublicanSenators being called out for who they truly are...trumppuppets
Yes, truth stings.
He blew it
They don't want to hear the TRUTH!
America, it may seem to be not possible but it is obvious to most psychologists that Adam Schiff is suffering from severe psychological problems that show physically as well as mentally. He must get help and refrain from making any serious decisions in our government until we’ll
Puleese senators your hypocrisy is showing
Trump lies 16,241 times, not a murmur. Schiff quotes a news source of some bragging Trump managers spewing shit and they clutch their pearls. Well, now their heads are gonna be on pikes. /s
A lot of tRump disciples -Jim Jordan, Nunes, McConnell ,Graham (Who said during Clintons trial that witness are needed) made their minds up ages ago-they will not do the job they are supposed to - and I hope thier consitiuents remind them of it next time at the voting booth
jcrew756 I think he’s been listening to the migrants too much.
Desperately seeking excuses / RIP GOP
Like it was going to be anything but this! GTFOH
They not livid about Trump threats against the ambassador
Most of the fake outrage came from Senators with the most at risk, like Collins. The comment hit too close. They protest too much.
Is the GOP a different party? You make it look that way.
The Republican Party is full of cowards. Too afraid of their president, too afraid of their base, too afraid of their donors. Cowards who betray their oath of office daily.
Priceless that they are feigning indignation over something that is actually out there circulating. It was absolutely meant to get their damn attention at this serious moment. 🙄
He had so many other examples of Trump's control of the GOP he could have used. Why this one? He should have known that it makes them feel defensive for having ever supported him. Not a good way to bring people to the light, Adam. You insulted them.
Nope. Because the truth hurts.
Andy_Q11 I’ve seen the quote attributed to Mitch McConnell.
Of course it didn't land well. It was a direct hit + put their moral cowardice on record. GOP shows more outrage abt Schiff quoting a news report that exposes them as yellow-bellies than they've been abt KidsInCages, KurdsBetrayed, or trump at Helsinki
Repubs are embarrassed at being frightened of a criminal, corrupt, grifting bully. Repubs react badly. Fail to see the correct way out. So, what else is new?
They’re just looking for an excuse. The Senators had already heard it; it was in the morning’s news cycle. And he said several times, “I hope it’s not true.” I think it was a smart move.
He really should not have said that.
Once a lier,always a lier,that's the way of schiff
Get the smelling salts...
“And then the elephant walked into the room and they all stopped doing cross word puzzles and playing with fidget spinners”
Because it was a true quote.
But was it a lie?
The Senate is supposed to be a separate branch of government yet they all act as Trump's apologists, sycophants and follow his every directive like a flock of sheep in a single block. They have destroyed our democracy. No one gives a damn how they feel.
The award for best acting Hack-A-Do goes to? Grinder monkey Adam Schiff!
Wait until they find out who he's allegedly quoted. Those idiots have already made up their minds, and really don't want their heads to be on pikes.
He did say he did know if it's true... But that it was reported
Truth hurts and often hard to take. No point in beating around the bush with so much at stake. The gloves came off a long time ago!
Schiff hates President Trump......
Schiff used a trump strategy by throwing something outrageous out there and forcing the republicans to respond, it’s even worse when you throw something out there that’s probably true
Propaganda
Bullcrap. They're looking for an excuse. Even if it were a bald face lie ( and Schiff did say he wasn't sure it was true) it would not vindicate Trump or negate the need for witnesses & documents. All drama no realism.
What a bunch of snowflakes
Petty. Schiff keeps messing up at the end.
Head on a pike, snowflakes
The Truth hurts
I believe tRump is capable of such a comment.
Do Not understand anyone believing Adam Schiff. He will say anything to try and manipulate - he is Not creditable. Nancy P. Made a big mistake giving Schiff power- he has given the 2020 Election to Trump.
These republicans either will or not do anything towards impeachment of trump but regardless they are running to be re elected this November how will this set I am still a ex republican and until that corruption and greed changes I vote against them
Truth never does
Adam Schiff didn’t write this article but these republicans don’t won’t to admit that they are trumps door mat
Trump has everybody in his pocket . The mob boss is in control of the GOP it’s ridiculous
Well, clutch my pearls! D'you mean they were actually listening during THAT part? How convenient!
Landed great over here.
ChristinePolon1 Lord, thank you for showing the truth about Schiff. Thank you for revealing his true nature...Liar. Remove his control over democrats and turn them to the TRUTH!
Republicans were looking for any possible reason to criticize Schiff, waiting for the opportune moment to pounce. If Schiff repeating a widely-quoted statement was “upsetting,” what are their feelings about the president shredding our values, the rule of law, & the Constitution?
Republicans should be “livid” about what this president is doing to our country.
SandraLeeSmith1 StopTheSchiffShamShow
Rep. Adam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people,' Trump said Sept. 30 in the most recent
It didn’t land well because reality never lands well with them.
spennington33 Counterpoint: it landed extremely fucking well
SusanBush1 So instead of highlighting an anonymous quote that didn’t start with Schiff, why don’t you call out the top 10 or 20 lies the other side blurts out every single day?Like those assholes who were fake appalled have feelings or a sense of right or wrong. Give me a fucking break
Trumps Head on a Pike statement had its desired effect, look at the GOPer’s rushing scared to defend Trump
I thought that was genius. POTUS is a maniac. Does crazy shit like this all of the time.
lol they KNOW Trump said it
The lead character in this farce is a proven liar and his clown posse in the media keep honking their horns about how eloquent he is. It's moronic!
Crazy to think that these Republican Senators were chomping at the bit to attack Schiff about “falsehood” when Trump has embraced and created a culture of lies and indecency for the last 3 years
Oh Politico. Stop helping to create drama
Bold face lie!!! When Schiff opens his mouth lies come out!!
This is what GOP Senators get miffed over? Where's the outrage for what Trump has done?
Oh geez, Republicans all took notice... 🙄 Probably because they thought they missed that email. As if the trial isn't about to start the lying phase today when the president's council gets the podium..will they be outraged at each twist of the truth then? Hardly.
The GOP senators live in a pretty small bubble, if they are 'shocked' by news outside of the Fox bubble. A lot of news outlets have similar stories about this administration that they would be surprised are happening
A hit dog will holler...
Visions of a time when Traitors would have their heads on pikes. We all know exactly what Trump thinks a traitor is, that would be anyone who Votes to have Witnesses, documents. Worse still, to find him guilty. Think about that GOP Senators, he's reminding you who's boss.
Truth hurts!! GOPCorruptionOverCountry TrumpIsCorrupt
THE CHRONIC LIAR-ADAM SCHIFF.
It has been reported. If the GOP is offended, so be it. Yes, it makes them look weak and under Trump's thumb. But, they've looked and acted that way long before this. Don't blame the messenger. Defy the message
The truth hurts.
Some SenateGOP offended by Schiff sharing a strong quote from a CBS story? Who's a snowflake? ❄️❄️❄️
Truth hurts?
It doesn't surprise me, I knew they were scared of Trump
Truth hurts.
Let's see if I understand: then only a phrase of Representative Schiff, that they consider inappropriate, is enough for the 'moderate Republicans' to discard all the evidence presented by the Democrats?
Truth hurts.
GOPSenate get mad over petty comments, but never over the crimes committed by realDonaldTrump
If the GOP senators are not going to dignify the proceedings by actually doing their jobs, the Dems should not dignify the proceedings by pretending GOP senators are doing their jobs.
Use your head, Politico. It’s fake GOoP outrage. Don’t let them spin this. It takes away from Schiff’s historic words. And they are historic. I’ve never heard anyone soar to such rhetorical heights as Schiff.
Its an excuse.
It is funny, Schiff did not mention any names :)
They can’t handle the truth
KarenSalitis So they all scrambled to get back in line because...they weren't threatened? 🤔
Doesn't matter how it landed, TrumpIsCorrupt
So what. Is this going to be the incredibly lame excuse they cower behind instead of facing the truth.
Fuck. Them. The list of things they are complicit in -- including corruption, voter suppression, religious intolerance, gay and trans-intolerance, and child separation -- that are more offensive than an anonymous quote could stretch to the moon and back.
The welfare queens are scared of master and losing their government assistance
Just caused the Republicans who were on the fence to sway to the right. Good job Shifty!
Politico is fancy toilet paper imprinted with Republican prose.
So what Politico. This is just republicans hiding behind a quote from someone that is totally believable so they won’t have to explain why they woted to approve a trial where witnesses and evidence are withheld to protect the accused.
He is good at making up things! Not Trumps style he would have tweeted it but not in those words
Are you sure he didn’t hear this quote from joelockhart ?
Love how lisamurkowski is scandalized by someone quoting Trump verbatim, which is the real crime, and a partisan one at that. Bonus points for SenatorCollins claiming never to have heard the phrase before.
Most harmful man in America. Sick. Vindictive. Lier.
The Republicans can dish it out but they can’t take it. They can’t handle the truth. Trump would certainly have their “heads” or in this case their “voters” if they cross him in any way. He’s done it plenty of times in the past. Their outrage is laughable and pathetic.
You mean, “The GOP needed something last minute to create some phony outrage.” There. Fixed it.
Schiff is what is wrong with the new DC. This would never have happened in the senate a few years ago. He is pathetic. The new kind of Democrat that is vindictive and hateful.
These Senators are SICK
Fake outrage, they are outraged for the wrong reasons.
But they can spew Russian talking points endlessly. They are beyond worthless.
Please. The GOPutin with their Faux outrage. They have zero defense for the Criminal-in-Chief. Feckless, complicit and absolutely worthless. Bordering on treasonous.
I sick of the GOP whining about Bidens Hillary Obama Nancy and Adam. Let's start in on their corrupt clown wagon. Enough is Enough.
Really they are mad? Not upset about trumps abusing his power? Standing next to Putin weakening our country? Adam did make that up he just read what he knew. Even said I don't know how true that is. GOP is spineless.
Who cares if they didn’t like it. They are just looking for excuses to do what they want to do all along which is to vote against witnesses/documents and also removing the dictator. This is a farce.
Couldn’t happen to a more deserving liberal.
Tough shit. The truth hurts —- especially if it makes you look like the traitorous coward you really are.
Largely because the cowards know it’s true, whether it was actually said or not. Their behavior proves it.
Leave it up to pencil neck 😂
The truth hurts. Republicans, get over it. Shit happens. Republicans are spineless.
lisamurkowski is such a coward and a sham. She’s been looking for any small reason not to honor her civic oath. “Oh he lost me with the head on a pike comment” “oh Nadler offended me by calling us liars.” Shame on and your legacy for years to come.
Their outrage is misplaced.
He did a great getting it into official record To be remembered for history to judges Good move sir
Who are the snowflakes?
The truth hurts....
faux outrage
Schiffty Schiff is the gift that keeps on giving 😂😂😂
jcrew756 Schiff for Brains.
Adam Schiff is a useful idiot...best present the GOP has been given since 2016.
It was from the GOP. And it was important..🇺🇸
Screw them and their fake outrage. “I was going to vote for witnesses, removal even, but now? I’ve never been so insulted! I have the vapors!”
'...by which we mean it landed in an article we framed as a Republican talking point.
Their faux outrage is pathetic.
Schiff lies so much I can’t believe the Republicans took it as truth.
Schiff said that would happen ...but I was so happy that Schiff could care less...The thing is...Schiff will be around a long time when those little Trump punks won't be reelected..I read tonight Jamie Harrison in SC is neck to neck in the polls with ole Lindsay....
kristina_wong This whole thing has been lots of anonymous quotes and assumptions. Can we move on to the election now and stop wasting money?
But realDonaldTrump can threaten Civil War and get away with it? Trumplicans are hypocrites.
People like SenatorCollins who are looking for an excuse to ignore 3 days of compelling Impeachment Trial presentation, dealing w FACTS, HISTORY, and LAW, will pounce on a single sentence to VOTE as IMPOTUS and MoscowMitchMcConnell want … Kill democracy & support TyrantTrump.
Poor babies😥😥😥
Members of SenateGOP hate the truth!!!
Republicans have repeated Fox News and Breitbart for years, it's their go to source of smears.
They are livid about that, but not the destruction of democracy. Nice.
Schiff is psychotic, deranged and unhinged. It is pathetic that someone with such a strong God complex has been elevated to such a position of power. He wants to take away our vote and be sole decision-maker of what we should believe and who we should follow
The senators are fear stricken...they know Trump has a long reach...things could go badly for them if they do not support the little satan.
Faux outrage....misdirection. Move on...
Adam Schiff and the rest of the Dems had to see the repub senators not paying attention or so laying with toys or napping that is why. Schiff is a true patriot and takes this very seriously. CorruptComplicitGOP ImpeachedForever
they need to get used to it this is the guy they chose to make a Faustian deal with the inevitable consequences are coming home to roost
Nowadays the saying has become; 'you are just ten pounds ofSchiff in a five pound bag.' Or 'Go on the bathroom and take a Schiff, and don't be playing with your Pelosi in there.'
It landed just as it was supposed to.
Schiff is slime ... it’s evil to lie ...
I hope the Republicans play that Biden video over and over of Quid Pro Joe bragging about shaking down the Ukraine.
Yaaawn.... Is this impeachment over yet?! Do me a favor let me know when it's done..... Thanks.. lastword ImpeachmentHoax cnn Trump TrumpTapes
Big mistake
The GOPSenate does not like their cowardice exposed for all to see. We all know why they are enabling him, and it is not because they admire him for his moral clarity, intelligence, and stalwart support of America and her allies. They are scared of him and his base.
Because IT HIT A NERVE
Just more hysteria. Will politico or any other news outlet ask him to confirm his stories. He’s been lying for years and tonight is no different.
GFYS.
SenatorCollins doesn’t have a spine so I’m surprised she was able to shake her head at all🤷♀️
Get real. You can't really fall for this 'visibly upset' act.
But, in irony, they ALL KNEW it to be true. WeWillRememberInNovember
Landed great with THIS American 🤚🏻
Landed just fine
From donny’s playbook. Touché
They can't handle the truth
After all that he DID say that WAS 100% indisputably true that no one objected to (and he clearly did say he wasn’t sure if the pike comment was real). So what’s your thing, Politico that you’re reigning in on this? Are you with the WH
Schiff’s speech was epic and historic. The head-on-a-pike dustup was a diversion and Schiff didn’t miss a beat. It was like he was channeling Thaddeus Stevens.
What about Trump mocking a disabled person, mocking a teenage environmental activist, his 16,000 plus lies and spending over $120 million on golf since in office?
Truth hurts
❄️ ❄️ ❄️ - how weak they are and yet crickets when Trump lambasts everyone from his Twitter outpost
Hoping California has seen how they have been disgraced by their representative in this impeachment process 😡👺🤥
SenatorCollins shaking her head and saying something is not true is not surprising. She also gave a thumbs up to Kavanaugh and said she didn’t believe Christine Ford. The times she says things aren’t true is when you know they are.
It was a quote from a news story. Why get mad at Schiff? These senators are big freakin babies.
Anonymous like his parody phone call?
Repugs DON'T LIKE TRUTH. Who on earth doesn't grasp this by now?
They listened to Schiff’s outstanding closing argument about Trump’s abuse of power for an hour and THAT one comment made them livid. Really?!
Must be embarrassing to them GOP
Too bad republicans’ sensitivities aren’t more toward trump selling out our country for his personal gain than toward a CBS report comment. GOPfauxoutrage
Republican's know this is exactly what Trump would say. Keep their false outrage from letting them not talk about the evidence.
Facts and truth hurts!
SenateGOP scared to death of realDonaldTrump tweets! Cowards!
Too bad!!! Just because they didn’t like it, will it change their vote? NO. Because they’ve already decided to let him off. If something is true, it should be brought out into the open. Regardless!!
Loved when Adam gave all the things trumps attorneys will bring up tomorrow. He left no stone unturned!!
They are starting to hate this schitt head now
What did you dimwit Democrats expect! The Senate Republicans are not going to abide an unconstitutional coup going on for 3 years and allow the Senate to flip to Democrats malfeasance!
Let's hope this worm's national exposure is just about over and he can crawl back under the rock with all the other career politicians.
So he reminded Republicans what having a set looks like, got it!
It’s pure. Crap
Yawn.. Tired of the shit show
Oh, the pearl clutching. The Party of Dirty Tricks takes offense? I think if Schiff repeated the “rumor” he believes it’s more than that.
Snowflakes. 😢
Every Republican Senator after RepAdamSchiff made his remarks.
Snowflakes.
You can’t handle the truth! You will be casterated by Trump count on it👺👺👺👺
If it didn't land well, that's because it's true that Republicans are being strong-armed.
They sure seem to be touchy about BS.
Ohh how wrong you are. It landed exactly the way Schiff wanted.
Suck it up!!! It’s the truth!!!
That's what you're reporting on? JFC DoBetter
OH it didn’t land well with serial liars?
Truth hurts.
The dirty GOP is just looking for ridiculous excuses. Why are they bent out of shape anyway? Because it’s true?😂
The threat probably came directly from Trump.
* clutches pearls *
Funny how that makes them livid but not what trump has done.
The unmitigated GALL to sit there and get offended while they play grab ass, mumbly peg and betray their oath to have a fair and unbiased trial. Schiff pulled their knickers down in front of the entire nation. THAT'S why they 'mad.'
Did Lindsey experience a bad case of the vapors?
Adam Schiff is a pure Propegandist. His grandfather is pictured below
The little bumpkins need to get over it. They serve in DC. Blue streets. Blue juries.
Tough shit.
Adam Schiff is the lowest excuse for a human. He is a bottom feeder in the swamp.
Says who? That is exactly something Trump would say.
abnheel Schiff is a national disgrace
trump has not broken norms, he has established them. Senate Republicans are painfully aware of the normative pressure on them, and this anonymous quotation draws attention to it.
Trump and the GOP spout lies and debunked conspiracies theories all the time and Mr. Schiff mentions an anonymous quote which may or may not be true and the Senators get upset. What a bunch of snowflakes!
Any excuse to do the wrong thing.
Sooooo, how did the portrait of Donald Trump painted by a stellar group of Democratic managers, uh, 'land' with those same Republicans?
Say what? Brilliant move by the Honorable RepAdamSchiff 👏
🏦🇺🇸Adam Schiff is absolutely right! Where is that moral courage within the GOP Senators?Speak or vote against Trump, and all it takes it's a rally, with taxpayers money, and you lose your job,'your head on a pike! Enough of you with that moral courage,turns that process around !
If nothing happens, then 2020 the senate may turn democrat
The SenateGOP clutching their pearls is the height of hypocrisy. 🙄🖕🏽 Impeached WeDeserveBetter
What comes out the back end of this cover-up will be hellish
More shifty Schiff lies.
Looks like a perfect landing to me
Bet it’s true
Tough.
Again the Democrats treating to go after those who wont do what they are told.IDIOTS
This is why you were unfollowed. In case you cared, which of course you don't (who am I?) but, this why. I'm not accusing you of being a trump supporter. I'm accusing you of being a drama seeker. You have become a tabloid seeking nothing but likes and retweets.
Yet they will be completely fine with the insults Trump's team will certainly hurl the next few days.
Oh, but so true.
There is always a smoking gun that turns the stomach of Trump supporters and it is coming.
Why are they upset, don’t like having it said out loud? We all know it’s true.
Everything he did landed perfectly!
Because every thing else he said was easy for them? Nice diversionary tactic. Be outraged by the duplicity of the administration. Try that.
Aha it's the Rudy defense
Click-bait
When will someone look into Schiff’s ties to Ed Buck?
