Rep. Schiff Watched GOP Colleagues 'Slowly Surrender To The Immorality' Of The Former President

One of the reasons Rep. Adam Schiff wrote his book about the Jan 6th insurrection, "Midnight In Washington," was to call out his colleagues in Congress for capitulating to the former president and spreading the Big Lie that encouraged the attack on the U.S. Capitol. #Colbert #MidnightInWashington #AdamSchiff

Mitch McConnell threw Kentucky and his duty to the country overboard to protect his cushy position years ago; and the people of Kentucky he left in poverty and ignored reelected him again. Kentucky's impoverished citizens deserve McConnell; but we don't deserve the damage inflicted on our Democracy by Kentucky.

Adam Schiff in my experience with him mydelf as an FBI Agent, is real, sincere and someone I am proud to have worked with, as my husband also was. A stand up guy who should be more recognized for his moral fortitude, his scholarship and his honesty and commitment

[bluesmamarara]

Adam Schiff is exactly the kind of representative we need, so grateful he is one of our congressmen. Go Adam Schiff!

The OSS psychological profile of Hitler described him thus:
"His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it."

Sound familar?

If they don’t uphold their oath they should be expelled immediately, not after 4 years of court challenges, immediately

6:06 Kevin McCarthy is 56. He could have decided he wants no part of the Republicans' descent into authoritarianism and gone off to do something more honorable. He wouldn't starve. Mitch McConnell is 79. He could have retired and started enjoying a long, leisurely retirement. He wouldn't starve. Both chose moral bankruptcy. Let's hope both the judiciary and history judge them appropriately for their decision to subvert the country which put them where they are.

"Then be thrown overboard!"
EXACTLY. Liz Cheney had the spine where Mitch did not.

If someone asks you to do something horrible, you don’t say yes just because it’s the easy thing to do. You say no because it’s the right thing to do. Congress is now full of people who are millionaires who don’t need to work; they don’t need money. To do the right thing, they should have quit on January 7.

I love Schiff's pursuit of whats right, he will go down in history as a great man.

I find it shocking how long it's taking to bring these criminals to justice, if they didn't hold office they would already be in jail. How is this STILL going on! The people should be in jail already.

“Then be thrown overboard!” - that literally made me tear up. Godspeed to you, Rep. Schiff. Please leave no stone unturned on this.

no excuses, gop get no excuses, traitors!

He shared some powerful inside experiences that terrify me even more.

You won all of the 17 elections that you ran for. All from California where I live in. Adam, please run for President, you will for sure get my vote on matter what.

'Unforgivable culpability' of those insurrectional government leaders.
Get them. Please get them Rep. Schiff!

I love Schiff for his principle, honesty, and courage. He is a true American hero and I hope history recognizes him as such
