Schiff: Trump cannot criticize language after turning my name into a profanity

https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/424054-schiff-trump-cannot-criticize-language-after-turning-my-name-into

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Sunday that President Trump "is not in a position to talk about language" because "no one has done more to debase the political sphere than Donald Trump."

"I'm in a unique position to say this," Schiff noted, "considering the president turned my name into a profanity."

Trump in a November tweet labeled Schiff as "little Adam Schitt."

Trump last week criticized Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who just took office, after she said the new Democratic majority would "go in and impeach the motherf---er.”

going to continue to bash Tlaib, and the media will obediently cover every last little tweet while millions of Americans are going without paychecks, with the contractors guaranteed no back pay, and millions more about to lose food assistance and flood already overwhelmed food banks and charities.

In the meantime the Traitor Tot is threatening to declare a national emergency if the Democrats hold out with no funding for his stupid wall. He's said he is 'willing' to go for years until he gets his wall.

Tell you what, though, you get 30 million people going hungry and you'll have blood in the streets. Why? Because a pathetic little excuse of a mushroom man decided he needs a wall that will cost taxpayers FAR more than just $5 billion.

This guy is more than a criminal, I'll tell you that.

If the President does it, it must be ok. Not a direct quote, but close enough.

He is always so calm, reasonable, and knowledgeable (the exact opposite of tRump). Schiff knows his stuff and the fucking moron will have to face him instead of his pal, co-conspirator/obstructor of justice Nunes from now on...HA! House Intel Committee 116 Congress Dem Majority (Schiff, Castro, Speaker, Swallwell, etc) will finally get their turn to expose the truth.

Something like it isn't an outrage to call the president a "motherf*cker"
But it is an outrage to call that motherf*cker "president"

They'll keep lobbing stuff to make us (and the M$M) hot and bothered.

Meanwhile they are destroying the fabric of this country, and I believe, the rest of the democracies.
