Schiff: Trump ‘Cult’ Thinks ‘Minorities Should Not Be Participating’ in Elections

Pam Key 27 Oct 2021

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut” that the Republican Party had become a “cult” of former President Donald Trump.

He added that the GOP did not want minorities to participate in elections.

Discussing a conservative think tank, Schiff said, “Seeing the Claremont Institute, seeing these institutes giving some kind of intellectual cover to what is just a scandalous effort, the Republican Party and infrastructure like that institute are now an anti-truth, anti-democratic cult of a former president. Who would have imagined such a thing could happen in this country.”

He continued, “There is a sustained effort before the election, during the election, and after the election to this day to discredit the whole idea that we can still rely on elections to decide who should govern. If you pull that pillar of our democracy out, it comes crumbling down, and what is left other than violence? If you can’t trust the ballot box t0 resolve differences, what is left but violence? It’s what led to January 6 and what may lead to further violence.”

Schiff added, “Joy, I think you’re absolutely right about the subtext here. If Republicans lose elections, it’s because of people who are Black and Brown and don’t look like White America, and therefore it is inherently invalid and illegitimate. Because I think the subtext is they feel that minorities should not be participating if they’re going to be decisive in an election. You know, I think when you look at those who attack the Capitol that day with their Confederate flags and Auschwitz t-shirts, there is no separating this insurrection from the white nationalist motivation behind it.”

The Race Card is all these cretins have left to hide behind,and they are terrified they are going to lose power and access to the US treasury to provide contracts to their relatives and friends in exchange for a percentage of the profits.

Hanging is too good for career criminals and traitors like Schiff.

Schiff has no credibility of any sort. He's a proven liar and an idiot.

He IS a liar and selfish,self-serving piece of Bush of epic proportions,but the one thing he ain't is stupid. He has skimmed MILLIONS of dollars from government programs and deposited them in off-shore banks. We may never find out his true wealth,but if anyone in the media is interested,they can get an inkling by seeing how much his relatives inherit.

Granted,most of IT will be in off-shore trust funds,but I expect a sudden explosion in mansion and yacht sales.

Meanwhile, the white bi-coastal liberals think they control one's minority status, which is only good if you vote Demcrat, think, and speak as they command.

And you thought you were off the plantation.

To quote LBJ when he got the first big "Civil Rights" (?) program passed back in the 60's," We (the Dims) now own the bleep vote for the next 100 years!"

Well,the work above is NOT "Bleep",and nor is it "Black". Or even "Negro". I think you all know the word Johnson used.

I'm not drinking the Trump Kool-aid, but Schiff is wrong.  Maybe the third attempt at impeachment will be the charm.

The Republican Party has an opportunity to grow its base among working-class minorities.  Limousine liberals have taken those communities for granted for far too long, and they are looking for alternatives.  The Reconciliation Abomination has devolved into a Global Climate Change spending bill with some social spending.  The Martha's Vineyard limousine liberal Democrats care less about people and more about chasing the Global Climate Change purple dragon.

The Dems have forsaken their deplorables.  They're ripe for GOP's taking if we have the courage to kick the US Chamber of Commerce agenda to the curb.

Schiff is simply a racist because he thinks minorities are too stupid to get a government-issued photo ID and show it at their assigned polling place.

Keep in mind that just because the watch dog does not bark does not mean there was no crime, the watchdog just got his share.
