Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff is linking Rep. Kevin McCarthy to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in apparent retribution for McCarthy’s promise to strip Schiff’s committee seats.
McCarthy, who faces a challenging election to become Speaker of the House due to a number of high profile Republicans united against him, has promised to remove Rep. Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Reps. Eric Swalwell and Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee.
In response, Schiff derisively declared that McCarthy “will do whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene wants him to do” if he becomes the next Speaker.
“Well, I suspect he will do whatever Marjorie Taylor Greene wants him to do,” said Schiff during his appearance on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
“He’s a very weak leader of this conference, meaning that he will adhere to the wishes of the lowest common denominator,” said Schiff, derisively, “if that lowest common denominator wants to remove people from committees, that’s what they’ll do.”
Watch an excerpt of Schiff’s interview on Spreely.video:
Schiff, who with his Democratic colleagues has effectively run the country through single party rule for the past two years, predicted hard times under Republicans.
“It’s going to be chaos with Republican leadership,” Schiff predicted. “Sadly, the crazy caucus has grown among the Republicans.”
Though McCarthy has attempted to cast himself as a fierce ally of 45th President Donald Trump, some of the former president’s biggest supporters in the House believe that McCarthy will not represent the Make America Great Again movement as Speaker of the House.
Rep. Matt Gaetz recently became the public face of the effort to keep McCarthy out of Republican leadership in the House. That effort ultimately failed, though Gaetz and his allies secured an important victory in denying McCarthy the votes he will need to become Speaker next January.
“Kevin is FLIGHT over FIGHT when the chips are down,” Gaetz wrote on Twitter, ultimately adding, “He is not a Speaker for these times.”
Kevin McCarthy:
Defended Liz Cheney when @jdanbishop first sought her ouster
Told GOP Leadership Trump should resign after J6
Kevin is FLIGHT over FIGHT when the chips are down
He is not a Speaker for these times
— Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) November 11, 2022
Though Gaetz remains resolute in his conviction that McCarthy will fail to represent his constituents interests as Speaker, other pro-Trump Republicans have warmed to the man.
These include Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Trump himself, who has quietly backed McCarthy since before the 2022 midterms.

Schiff is truly the “lowest common denominator” not only in the Congress but in the history of human beings now living or passed on. Schiff may hold this title forever

Have you forgotten Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao Tse Tung, Lenin, Saddam Hussein, Nero, Gaddafi, and Trump?
Just joshing about Trump whom I voted for, yet most liberals and progressives hate him that much, just like you hate the incompetent dishonest Schiff.

I don’t care who may be behind it or pushing it, I definitely would be good with Schiff & Swalwell being remover from the intelligence committee. They are both hand puppets for Pelosi. And Schiff is dishonest as well. Getting Omar off the foreign affairs committee would be a bonus/ She is a security risk.

So is Schiff, who is a psychopathic liar and needs to be removed from any knowledge of any classified documents or knowledge. Schiff’s buddy, Soros. advertised on TV his intention to destroy the United States and Schiff has given Soros top secret information. Schiff is a “man” without character, without any redeeming qualities, just a political hack who needs to find a real job, shoveling manure on a ranch.

No Democrap should be on the Intelligence Committee. Why you ask? Well to be Intelligent one must have a brain and Democraps only have WORTHLESS FECAL MATTER overflowing their otherwise empty skulls no BRAINS any where in sight. That WORTHLESS FECAL MATTER spills out in a NEVER ending flow when Demand flap their LYING LIPS. Many Democraps like AOC and MAD MORON Maxine NEVER stop FLAPPING their LYING LIPS. Schiff is one of the most prolific LIARS in the Party. He did it throughout President Trump’s racd to get the White House and even during the race itself. He does it still despite the FACT that LIE was proven to be a LIE.

Isn’t that about what the progressive Democrats have said about us conservatives, constitutionalists, and Republicans, in addition to us Deplorables being racists and Nazis who therefore shouldn’t be entitled to First Amendment rights?
Can I assume that like the seditionist socialist Democrats you’d prefer a ONE-party government?
Believe me, what goes around comes around. NOW is the time for true American patriots to break the cycle.

Schiff lied to the American public every day for 2 years when he claimed he had PROOF against President Trump. Swalwell was the boy toy of a Chinese Communist spy. Neither deserves to be in Congress never mind on the Intelligence Committee. Omar is just a disgrace and a bigot.

Should McCarthy become the new Speaker, his window of opportunity to get things done will last less than 300 days. Fall ‘23 marks the official run for the WH in ‘24. Little or nothing of substance will have a chance to move forward. The Dems will undoubtedly employ whatever it takes to muck up the process, then blame Republicans for not getting things done.

I’ve listened to him many times in committee, it couldn’t come soon enough. CSPAN covers the house and senate when in session, its a wealth of information on future candidates in primaries, now if Californians would vote in primaries for new, qualified people we’d get a better congress..

Perhaps they should consider Marjorie Greene for Speaker of the House. She would be a better choice than most. And yes, we need to get those people off those committees.

That is if he is lucky. He may be kicked out of the committee altogether just like Pelosi kicked out MTG. She set the precedent by doing it and now it may be open season for Democrats following that example. What goes around comes around.
