Schiff Gets Embarrassed By Conservative on ‘The View’ and Stumbles Over His Words: ‘Trump Incited an Erection’

U.S. House Rep Adam Schiff (D-CA) appeared earlier today on ABC’s “The View” and things didn’t go 100% as he would have liked it undoubtedly.

He was confronted by conservative and former Trump White House staffer Morgan Ortagus over his promotion of the “Steele Dossier” while he was attempting to undermine the Trump administration with the Russia investigation.

Ortagus pointed out that “Last week, the main source of the dossier was indicted by the FBI for lying about most of the key claims” in the dossier.

“Do you have any reflections on your role in promoting this to the American people?” Ortagus wondered.

After slamming the Trump administration repeatedly, Schiff explained condescendingly, “At the beginning of the Russia investigation, I said that any allegations should be investigated. We couldn’t have known that, for example, people were lying to Christopher Steele.”

Ortagus wasn’t so convinced as she continued to pressure him and he again denied the ability to know that people were lying.

“Let’s not use that as a smokescreen to somehow shield Donald Trump’s culpability for inviting Russia to help him in the election, which they did, for trying to coerce Ukraine into helping them in the next election, which he did, into inciting an erection – insurrection – which he did, none of that is undercut, none of that serious misconduct is diminished by the fact that people lied to Christopher Steele,” Schiff implied.

Ortagus wasn’t convinced and shot back, “No, I think just your credibility is.”

Journalist Glenn Greenwald said of the exchange, “Look at what an amoral sociopath Adam Schiff is. He spent years promoting the Steele Dossier. He read it into the Congressional Record.”

“He lied about the ‘smoking gun’ evidence he saw (that Mueller never found). Watch how he worms his way around to avoid even an iota of mea culpa,” Greenwald added.

Many are now flocking to Ortagus’ Twitter page after the exchange and she told them in a tweet, “Hi to all my new followers! You may be sorely disappointed to soon learn that this thread is fairly boring and focused on Chinese hypersonics or the Iranian regime’s assassination attempts of Iraqi PMs. I’m a little wonkish but happy to have you here!”

Hi 👋🏼 to all my new followers!

You may be sorely disappointed to soon learn that this thread is fairly boring and focused on Chinese hypersonics or the Iranian regime’s assassination attempts of Iraqi PMs.

I’m a little wonkish but happy to have you here!
