Yesterday the Senate passed the GOP spending bill thanks to “yes” votes from several Democrats, including Chuck Schumer.
Ahead of the vote, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada were among the first Democrats to publicly back the Republican funding bill, arguing that a shutdown would only strengthen Trump’s hand. They were joined by six more Democrats—Dick Durbin of Illinois, Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Gary Peters of Michigan, Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire—as well as Angus King, a Maine independent who caucuses with Democrats.
Serial liar and senator from California, Adam Schiff, was an “emphatic” no vote. Why? Because he didn’t want to empower a dictator, or something:
It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power.
It is another to hand it to him.
I’m headed to the Senate floor now.
To cast an emphatic “no.”

That kind of rhetoric doesn’t resonate but he’s just going to keep trying. Additionally Schiff’s post is self-refuting:
If it were actually a dictatorship, you wouldn’t be able to vote. You shriveling goblin.

If he were an actual dictator, we’d never again hear from you, and that would be glorious.

How are you able to cast such a vote in a dictatorship? https://t.co/Enr4Za17nI

Adam is too damn dumb to understand that if Trump truly were a dictator there would be no opportunity to vote. https://t.co/H1r6q0TEop

It’s just more projection from a Democrat:
Go ahead you lying fool. Biden acted more like a dictator. https://t.co/O88wcVvTJE

Heck, King Biden declared there to be a “28th Amendment” via social media post and Schiff was just fine with that.
You lost all credibility with “I have seen direct evidence of Russia collusion…”
And if that wasn’t bad enough, you accepted a presidential pardon for crimes against the country.
You are a microcosm of you Party: corrupt, unhinged, morally bankrupt, directionless…

Perhaps that preemptive pardon will come in handy for Schiff at some point.
Democrats really need a new script. https://t.co/zWOaC85LVX

All the Democrats’ “dictator” and “worse than Hitler” BS did was help cause this to happen in November:

And yet Schiff and the Dems just keep doubling down on the insanity.
