Censuring Adam Schiff is disgraceful — and on brand for GOP


To the editor: Simply while you assume that the Home Republican majority has reached the best degree of hypocrisy, its members discover a technique to attain the next echelon. (“Home Republicans censured Adam Schiff. He couldn’t be happier,” June 21)

Rep. Anna Paula Luna (R-Fla.) justified her movement to censure Rep. Adam Schiff on the grounds that the Burbank Democrat misled the general public relating to cooperation between the 2016 Trump marketing campaign and Russian authorities brokers. The info, nevertheless, present that Trump marketing campaign operatives have been offering Russian brokers with inner marketing campaign polling.

Particular Counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s investigation was unable to search out proof of coordination between the Trump marketing campaign and the Russian authorities. It did discover that the Trump marketing campaign benefited from Russian efforts to assist Trump win the presidency in 2016.

So, it boils all the way down to a matter of semantics. It is a far cry from deceptive the general public.

If Rep. Luna needs to imagine the mantle of defender of Home ethics, then she ought to flip her consideration to Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.).

To a big extent, the fault for this Republican clown present within the Home rests squarely on the shoulders of Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Bakersfield). As a substitute of engaged on laws to enhance our lives, McCarthy permits his members to waste taxpayer cash on frivolous investigations.

Let’s seize our popcorn and watch the McCarthy clown present for one more year-plus earlier than the voters get their say.

To the editor: The rogue’s gallery of divisive politicians could also be headed by former President Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, however Schiff has now earned equal billing.

For under the twenty fifth time in U.S. historical past, the Home has censured certainly one of its personal members. As Schiff claims it as a “badge of honor,” the causative partisanship is a stain on his character to not be ignored.

The dysfunction that permeates Washington and the nation’s politics has at its core excessive partisanship. Reasonable Democrats and Republicans are drowned out by these extremes, led by the likes of Trump, DeSantis and, now formally, Schiff.

To the editor: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia referred to as her Republican colleague Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado an obscenity on the Home flooring, and the Republican Home censured Schiff? We’re actually down the rabbit gap.
