Adam Schiff really shouldn't be calling on anyone to do anything

[girlgeniusII]

I received a donation request from Adam Schiff today, will not send 1 dime to his campaign, you need to stand back Mr Schiff and tend to your own agenda.

[dustinholt]

You know you could say the exact same thing about Schiff’s campaign

[candigryl]

Wow wont be casting a vote for shift in California.

[vickirathburn]

Okay, that will be a NO VOTE FOR ADAM SCHIFF!

[dvbnycl]

YOU JUST LOST MY VOTE ADAM... WHO WOULD YOU REPLACE HIM WITH ???.. GET WITH THE DEMOCRATS AND STOP HELPING TRUMP

[jayr]

Wow, the party has turned on him entirely now!

[chilirasbora]

Adam Schiff is terrible for our country.

[deepthoughtswithjessica]

Shifty saying you should step down is definitely reason to stay. Anyone suggesting this on the left at this stage in the game is a saboteur. Full stop.

[ChinazaEkwefi]

I am surprise that this is coming from Adam Schiff himself.. Even in public 😅

[renriviera]

Schiff should be ashamed of himself!!!

[wcryan]

I call on Schiff to leave politics permanently

[ShellyBomb]

🛑 - STOP telling President Joe Biden to drop out --- this is NOT friggin helpful folks 😵‍💫‼️ Putting someone new in - in mid-July is ridiculous!!! 🫡

[Marmarisher]

Sh8ff best be worried about HIS reelection

[carolesmith]

because of this I will no longer contribute to Schiff. He's coming from fear.

[cindyfoster]

So where are our Democrats saying Trump should step down?

[charlenealexander]

He is wrong . The Democratic party is never united. It will be a foolish thing to do for him to drop out. The Democratic need to grow up .

[marleneprosser]

So who's the better candidate? Where is he or she? Dems are doing exactly what they want, division! What a mess

[jasonwhite]

Drop out for who? No one else is polling better than Biden.

[jamesstarkey]

But millions of Americans have called on Schiff to resign.
