Fox News star Tucker Carlson has dropped the hammer and called on Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) to resign from Congress in disgrace for spreading false information about President Donald Trump and Russia.
Carlson blasted Schiff for lying to the American people by falsely claiming Trump was tied to Russia.
The congressman knew the claim “was a sham” but continued to promote it as fact on national television, Carlson said.
“Schiff knew there was nothing substantial at the core of the Russian collusion story,” Carlson said on Fox Business.
“At the very center, it was hollow, it was a sham.
“But Schiff never suggested this in public.
“Instead, he did the opposite.
“He spent years on television telling you it was totally real, shut up.
“Every single time was a lie.
“If you were following this closely at the time, you might have suspected this. Schiff never produced any of this so-called evidence.
“He just asserted its existence.
“Adam Schiff is a sociopath,” Carlson warned.
“He will do or say anything to achieve power.
“He is unfit to hold office. He should resign.
“At the time, Republicans controlled both houses of Congress and every single committee.
“They had the power to expose this hoax and to shut it down. But they did not.”
WATCH:
Schiff however is looking for greener pastures and is running for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) Senate seat.
He said in his announcement:
“Our democracy is at great risk.
“Because GOP leaders care more about power than anything else.
“And because our economy isn’t working for millions of hard-working Americans.
“We’re in the fight of our lives—a fight I’m ready to lead as California’s next U.S. Senator.
“The Senate is where many of these fights over the future of our democracy take place.
“Some of Donald Trump’s biggest enablers are in the Senate.
“And I think that is where I can most effectively champion our democratic institutions.
“I have just tremendous respect for Sen. Feinstein and — more than respect — admiration, and affection.”
