Steve Garvey, the Republican candidate in California’s U.S. Senate race, does not appear to be a favorite of former President Donald Trump‘s.
The former president blasted the baseball legend’s lack of political experience and said it would likely hand Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) an easy win next month.
“He’s running against a guy that doesn’t understand politics at all,” Trump said about Schiff during an interview on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures. “Garvey. He was a good baseball player, but he doesn’t understand politics at all.”
Trump also launched an attack on Schiff, calling him a “lunatic” and a “total sleazebag” who is “going to become a senator.”
The Republican presidential nominee then called Democrats like Schiff and others who have opposed or investigated him “the enemy from within,” describing them as more dangerous to the United States than Russia or China. Schiff was the lead prosecutor in Trump’s first Senate impeachment trial.
Trump added that a “smart president” could handle outside adversaries “pretty easily,” but “the thing that’s tougher to handle are these lunatics that we have inside, like Adam Schiff.”
“I call him the enemy from within,” he added.
