Adam Schiff recently showcased a masterclass in irony when he reprimanded President-elect Donald Trump over the supposed targeting of political adversaries. Schiff, stepping into his new role as a California senator, declared it wholly inappropriate for Trump to even suggest penalizing his political rivals. The hypocrisy in this display is as thick as fog on a November morning.
Schiff’s comments come in the wake of an administration that has weaponized the Department of Justice against its political opponents, including a glaring lack of reflection on Joe Biden’s open enthusiasm for imprisoning Trump. One has to wonder if Schiff’s memory has taken an extended vacation, as he seems to have completely forgotten Biden’s past comments suggesting that Trump should be put behind bars. It appears that vehement calls for incarceration are acceptable when they come from Democrats, but utterly scandalous when hinted at by Republicans.
Here is Adam Schiff after the verdict in a trial in which Alvin Bragg found a way to turn misdemeanors into felonies just to get Trump.
For dramatic purposes, Schiff repeated the word guilty 34 times. Now this little b*tch is crying about being targeted. 😥🤣 pic.twitter.com/5VEM9dVZXx

The double standards held by the Democratic Party are staggering. For years, Democrats have rattled their cages and called for Trump’s indictment with all the fervor of a toddler deprived of their favorite toy. Now, they scramble to regain their moral high ground, demanding a return to political decorum. Meanwhile, Schiff’s own history of advocating for the criminal prosecution of Trump reveals a glaring inconsistency in his current admonishments. His previous proclamations about the day Trump leaves office potentially resulting in an indictment conveniently escape his memory when he critiques Trump’s rhetoric.
Democrats have perfected the art of redefining “norms” to suit their political needs. The moment they lose power, they immediately pivot from aggressive tactics to pleading for civility, as if the years of accusations and investigations never happened. Trump’s election served as a blunt reminder that the American public is tired of the status quo, and he was chosen to disrupt the cozy little game Democrats have been playing all these years. Those who once demanded investigations into Trump’s actions are now in for a rude awakening as the tables turn.
Finally, Schiff’s assertion that the January 6th committee members do not need pardons raises eyebrows. The implied arrogance is palpable; if pardons are offered, surely he and his compatriots will firmly reject them, right? The irony as they navigate this political landscape where they once demanded accountability could deliver some rather delicious schadenfreude for conservatives. Schiff’s commentary is a testament to the audacity of Democrats, who demand accountability on one hand while simultaneously tossing their laundry in the wash. The investigations are inevitable, if not necessary, as America moves to scrutinize the very players who have so freely tried to imprison their opposition while they basked in their fleeting power.
