Observers found it ironic when Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Politics should not be used too make opponents “unsuccessful.”

Schiff, who spoke at the Texas Tribune Festival, was elected to replace the late Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) in 2024, per the Daily Wire.

Schiff said it was bad to allow “good Politics” to stand what is right for the country.

“That attitude that you can make a president or a party unsuccessful, no matter what damage it might do to the country, because it’s good Politics — we have to get past that ruinous idea,” he said. “We have to figure out a way to stop viewing each other as our enemy,” the senator said.

“That solution will come when we figure out how to be better consumers of information and how to determine what’s true and what’s not true, how to stop rewarding advertising behemoths for dividing us the way they do,” he continued.

Watch:

As soon as Schiff said those words, critics went after him as her has tried to do that to President Donald Trump.

“Dilbert” creator Scott Adams posted on X, “Schiff’s entire game depends on people not remembering what he said yesterday.”

Another chimed in with, “Says the guy who from 2017 through 2019 was seemingly on cable news every day saying he had seen ‘direct evidence of Russia collusion.’”

Author Steve Guest summed it up in three words — “Pot meet kettle.”

During Trump’s first term as president, Schiff claimed to have proof collusion between Trump and Russia, proof that never materialized.

Schiff was manager of President Donald Trump’s first impeachment in 2019 and presented a now-sided case that angered George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley.

“If you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power — it’s your abuse of power,” Turley said then. “Fast and narrow is not a good recipe for impeachment.”
