Adam Schiff continues to demonstrate that he is one of the chief sources of misinformation in Washington.
Schiff shows no sign of trying to change.
And Adam Schiff got caught in one bad lie that will have you madder than hell.
Adam Schiff made his name by going on television and lying about Donald Trump colluding with the Russians in the 2016 election.
When that big lie fell apart, Schiff quickly pivoted to the Ukraine impeachment hoax.
That sham also fell apart.
But Schiff isn’t chastened at all about all the misinformation he pumped into the American political discourse.
In fact, Schiff is doubling down.
Schiff is now the junior Senator from California.
That afforded him another opportunity to insert himself into the center of American politics due to the wildfires ravaging Southern California.
California is run by Democrats.
Democrats hold every statewide office and a supermajority in the legislature.
Los Angeles’ mayor is also a Democrat.
Wildfires are phenomena that occur in California because of the state’s terrain and temperature.
But these fires are running out of control thanks to the utter failure of Democrat Party governance.
The Biden administration canceled controlled burns scheduled to take place in October because of the fear something would go wrong and create a massive embarrassment in the final days of the campaign.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass slashed $17 million from the fire department’s budget.
The state hasn’t built any new reservoirs since 1979.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk were vocal critics of the fact that Newsom failed to build up California’s water infrastructure and left fire hydrants dry and reservoirs empty.
Adam Schiff addressed these criticisms on ABC’s This Week.
And Schiff resorted to another round of misinformation to try and defend his fellow California Democrats.
“The reservoirs were full at the initiation of these fires,” Schiff falsely claimed.
Host Jonathan Karl – one of the Democrat activists in the media who loves to present themselves as a beacon of truth for fact checking Donald Trump – sat silently and didn’t correct Schiff’s misinformation.
Users on social media weren’t so compliant.
A community note on X exposed Schiff’s falsehood.
“Senator Schiff is incorrect. Pacific Palisades is served by the Santa Ynez reservoir, which holds 117 million gallons of water. It was empty for maintenance at the time the fires broke out. The Governor has ordered an investigation,” the community note read.
The community note also linked to a Los Angeles Times story reporting on the empty reservoir in the Pacific Palisades – which also happened to be ground zero for the wildfires.
“A large reservoir in Pacific Palisades that is part of the Los Angeles water supply system was out of commission when a ferocious wildfire destroyed thousands of homes and other structures nearby,” the Los Angeles Times found.
“Officials said that the Santa Ynez Reservoir had been closed since about February for repairs to its cover, leaving a 117-million-gallon water storage complex empty in the heart of the Palisades for nearly a year,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
If California was a red state and Newsom a GOP Governor, the press would be up in arms portraying this as their Katrina and declaring their political career over.
But since Newsom is a Democrat with 2028 aspirations, the media is happy to look the other way.
