Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff on MSNBC Tuesday night claimed “the consequences are gonna be grave†if the Republicans win the midterms, and added he thinks President Trump’s “hyping of the caravan … had devastating consequences this week.â€
In an interview with Chris Hayes on “All In,†Schiff was asked, “I wonder if you think that the president’s attacks on the office of special counsel Mueller specifically encourage private citizens to sort of take matters into their own hands in ways that we have seen obviously last week with one of the president’s most ardent supporters and the pipe bombs?â€
The congressman replied taking it one step further and suggested, Donald Trump’s comments on the migrant caravan led to the mass murder at a synagogue in Pittsburgh Saturday. Schiff answered, “You know, sadly, I think that no one sets the tone as much as the president of the United States, and normally that is not a problem, but with this president it’s very much a problem. He has a no holds barred attitude of dividing the country, of egging on his supporters, of encouraging by praising violence against journalists. You know, all of this hyping of the caravan, you know, this group of people who are fleeing violence 1,000 miles away from us, hyping that threat I think had devastating consequences this week. But, yes, all these attacks on Mueller, all of the green light that he gives the most ardent of his supporters to engage in any kind of conduct to tear him down I think has results like this.â€
