GOP’s McCarthy Demands Adam Schiff Step Down as House Intel Chairman

by Joshua Caplan

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Monday (R-CA) called on Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) ― who has continually advanced the hoax claim that President Donald Trump conspired with Russia’s government ― to resign as Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee after special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation concluded there was no proof of any Trump campaign collusion.

“[Schiff] owes the American public an apology,” McCarthy told Politico. “Schiff has met the standard that he has imposed on other members of Congress of when they should step back from their positions. He has exceeded that standard, and there is no question he should step down from the Intel chairmanship.”

McCarthy’s remarks come one day after the Department of Justice announced Mueller’s investigation did not find evidence that President Trump’s presidential campaign “conspired or coordinated” with the Russian government in the 2016 election.

White House official Kellyanne Conway went a step further than McCarthy Monday morning, calling on Schiff not only to step down from his powerful chairmanship, but from Congress as well.

“He ought to resign today,” Conway said of Schiff in an interview with Fox & Friends. “He’s been on every TV show 50 times a day for practically the last two years, promising Americans that this president would either be impeached or indicted.”

“Adam Schiff should resign. He has no right as somebody who has been peddling a lie, day after day after day, unchallenged and not under oath,” she added. “Somebody should have put him under oath and said ‘you have evidence, where is it’?
