During a California U.S. Senatorial debate, retired Major League Baseball all-star Steve Garvey criticized Rep. Adam Schiff, accusing him of lying to the public and referencing his censure for comments about ties between former President Trump and Russia.
Garvey said, “I think you’ve been censured for lying.”
According to the resolution, Schiff “abused this trust by saying there was evidence of collusion between Trump’s campaign and Russia.”
“Representative Schiff purposely deceived his Committee, Congress, and the American people,” it continued.
“Representative Schiff abused this trust by alleging he had evidence of collusion that, as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham, never existed,” read the resolution.
Schiff defended himself, stating he was censured for standing up to a corrupt president and would do it again.
Schiff said, “I was just called a liar by Mr. Garvey. Mr. Garvey, I was censured for standing up to a corrupt president. And you know something? I would do it all over again. Because that corrupt president, that president has been indicted with 91 felony counts, that president that you won’t refuse to support. Yeah, he’s a danger, and I will stand up to him and (former House Speaker) Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan and any of those MAGA enablers of his in the Congress. The reason why our democracy is in trouble is because folks don’t have the courage to stand up when they need to.”
Garvey replied, “Sir, you lied to 300 million people and you can’t take that back.”
The debate also highlighted the upcoming open-primary election in 2024, with Schiff leading in polls.
