During Monday's heated senate debate for the late Dianne Feinstein's open seat, California Democratic Rep.
Adam Schiff found himself facing a career-defining moment when Republican candidate Steve Garvey called him out.
Despite his retirement from professional baseball, Garvey proved he still had a powerful swing as he delivered a serious blow to Schiff's political career. The exchange, shared on Twitter, showcased Garvey's accusation: "I think you've been censured for lying."
The room fell silent, the tension palpable. Schiff, gasping for air like a fish out of water, quickly responded, "I was censured for standing up to a corrupt president." However, Garvey seized the opportunity to continue his critique, accusing Schiff and his colleagues of failing to listen to the American public and instead dividing the nation along arbitrary demographic lines.
But Schiff wasn't ready to back down. Stepping back up to the plate, he addressed Garvey's accusation head-on. "I was just called a liar by Mr. Garvey," Schiff declared, doubling down on the narrative that he was censured for his unwavering stance against former President Donald Trump. "And you know something, I would do it all over again!" As Schiff launched into a passionate tirade against Republicans, Garvey patiently waited, struggling to suppress a smirk.
"Sir, you lied to 300 million people, you can't take that back," Garvey calmly retorted, bestowing upon Schiff a label that may haunt him for the rest of his political career. Schiff will likely be forever remembered as the man who "lied to 300 million people" and faced censure in 2023 for his involvement in the allegations of Trump's collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign. Garvey's concise statement perfectly encapsulates the situation and effortlessly rolls off the tongue.
