Sen. Adam Schiff again leads Dems in a Big Lie — – Latest News
Sen. Adam Schiff is again main Democrats in a Big Lie: this time, that President Donald Trump “intends to subvert” the midterm elections.
On ABC News’ “This Week” Sunday, the California Democrat — who was sanctioned by Congress for falsely claiming he had “direct evidence” of Russian collusion in the 2016 election — insisted Trump will “take some kind of action to overturn the result” if Republicans lose seats in the House this November.
Schiff is echoing different lefties, notably after Trump known as for the federal authorities to take over voting.
The White House says he was solely pushing for passage of the SAVE Act, to crack down on voter fraud, however the Brennan Center’s Wendy Weiser shrieked of “a full-blown effort . . . to lay the foundation for interfering in upcoming elections.”
This will not be “fascism”; Democrats have pushed for related steps; in the Biden years, most not too long ago, they sought nationwide guidelines requiring same-day voter registration and early voting.

Some level to Trump’s push for purple states to gerrymander House districts as “subversion,” although blue states have gerrymandered their districts (and either side have finished it for hundreds of years).
But the hysteria usually runs to pure fantasy: Democratic National Ken Martin predicts the prez will ship the navy to cities to scare people from voting.
Worse but, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) warns “we will not have an election” in any respect in 2028.

OK: Trump after the 2020 election went obscenely far excessive about that vote being stolen, and to this present day repeats that nonsense, although he’s by no means produced enough proof to back his declare.
Yet Democrats do the nation no favors by answering with their own, even wilder, expenses now.
Heck, the president might level to his own precedents then: Hillary Clinton by mid-2017 was insisting that he’d stolen the 2016 vote with Russia’s help — a lie that grew (with a big serving to hand from the media) till most Democrats nonetheless imagine it now.
Look, the nation’s divided enough. Both sides ought to ratchet back the intense language and hysterical predictions.
Then again: If Democrats can’t criticize Trump with out wild fear-mongering, possibly he’s not doing such a unhealthy job after all.
