You Might Say That's OK. But I Don't Think It's OK

AROUND THE BLOCK

I learned today…

I learned today that House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) does not think it's OK for the president of the United States and his minions to behave the way they did and do, while his sycophantic allies in the Republican party generally, and on his own committee specifically, blindly follow that president no matter how egregious his actions or lies.

In an impassioned and fact-filled speech prior to a hearing of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff admonished his GOP colleagues after they issued a letter calling for Schiff to resign from his chairmanship based on Donald Trump’s contention that Schiff is a liar and should be forced out of office. Here is Schiff’s five-minute speech in its entirety:

Schiff’s words will go down in history as the You Might Say That's OK. But I Don't Think It's OK response to the malfeasance, misbehavior, misconduct, misdoing (you pick the word) of Trump and his minions. 

For his part, Trump’s thoughtful response to Schiff’s words was, “Little pencil-neck Adam Schiff. He has the smallest, thinnest neck I’ve ever seen. He is not a long ball hitter but I saw him today. These are sick people and there has to be accountability because it is all lies and they know it’s lies.”

That, my friends, is the sitting PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
