Schiff says Trump 'willfully fanning the flames' of violence to help campaign
2020-08-31
[The Hill] House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Sunday that President Trump is "willfully fanning the flames" of violence amid clashes between protesters and counterprotesters over police brutality.
How's your pal and major donor Ed Buck?
"The president is willfully fanning the flames of this fire," Schiff said on CNN’s "State of the Union."

"They believe this is helpful to him," Schiff said, referring to Trump’s allies.

"The president is only motivated by one thing: what is in it for him. He sees this violence and his ability to agitate more of it as useful to this campaign. What it does to the country, the loss of life, he doesn’t care," Schiff added.

Schiff’s comments came after police said one person in Portland, Ore., was fatally shot late Saturday after clashes between a Black Lives Matter protest and a caravan of Trump supporters.

Protesters in Portland have been demonstrating daily for months after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May. Protests were reignited after the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis., on Monday.

#12  Lots of protests and low level riots in Hollywood area. Is that Schiff's district? or close enough to turn voters against him?

#9  And some people cling to every word he utters. Hard to believe, but then again, maybe not.

#8  Schiff is a politician of the lethal class. He has less morals than a drug dealing lawyer, he is willing to lie about anything and shrug off the truth. His means justify his owners ends that have him bought and sold on every issue. This is the poster child for corruption, greed, and self loathing.

#5  Schiff talked about Russia on CBS last night. The man's insane. I freaked out and had to leave the room. I can't get Mrs. Uluque to stop watching that shit.

#4  Schiff keeps acting like he thinks the House revolves around him instead of Pelosi.

#3  I think Pres Trump is going to Kenosha to meet with the people affected by the riots and stand with them, bypassing the mayor, city council, and governor, who did not stop the riots in its tracks.

#2  The Pencil-Necked Anus is slipping. Not one accusation of Russia, Russia, Russia.

#1  Urban insurrection not going as planned. Time to link the Orange Man's reelection to the senseless carnage.
