Celebrity Doc Drew Pinsky Mulls Run Against Adam Schiff in California

Celebrity doctor Drew Pinsky told the Hill Wednesday that he may eventually run for “Shifty†Adam Schiff’s Democrat House seat because the California congressman has become too obsessed with impeachment to do anything about the people dying in his district.
“I wake up every day and drive through this town and I am morally moved where I feel like I have to do something,†said the famed internist, whose full name is David Drew Pinsky.
“I was watching all the impeachment proceedings and I was going, ‘Oh my God, our Congress is tied up and we’re dying out here in California. What are these people doing?’†he complained. “I thought, ‘Oh my God, I have to run for that office at least just to get him to start participating in the governance of this region.’â€
The addiction specialist stressed that he was reluctant to run for congress because it would be such a huge step for him.
“Believe me, I don’t want to,†he said. “I’d have to change my whole life, and I’m not really prepared to do that just yet.â€
He went on to speculate that he might feel compelled to take the step eventually because the government of Los Angeles County and the state is so broken.
Pinsky said he is “very moderate,†and regularly changes his political party affiliation but if he were he to run in 2020, the doctor would likely do so as a Democrat. He said he would focus on improving infrastructure, homelessness and aiding the chronically mentally ill.
