ABC News Refuses To Ask Adam Schiff About His Push For Big Tech Censorship

A journalist would have grilled Adam Schiff on his secret attempts to censor his enemies, but ABC’s Jonathan Karl is not a journalist.

California Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff who helped spearhead the Russia collusion hoax and the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump, appeared on ABC News’ “This Week” Sunday’s co-anchor Jonathan Karl. When Karl questioned the California congressman on President Joe Biden’s gross incompetence in mishandling classified documentsSchiff used the interview to make smears, as it was. efforts His Republican colleagues investigated the matter and took cheap shots at Trump.

“Congress shouldn’t try to interfere with the [DOJ’s] investigations [into Biden]. I think sadly that’s what [Kentucky GOP Rep. James] Comer’s object is,” Schiff. “He showed no interest in investigating the far more serious situation with about 100 classified documents at Mar-a-Lago with evidence in the public domain of obstruction. Now he’s suddenly interested in investigating President Biden.”

“I think there’s so many stark contrasts [between Joe Biden and] Donald Trump on policy, on decency, on devotion to the truth,” He added separately.

These comments were made the day Biden was arrested. falsely claiming during a Sunday appearance at Martin Luther King Jr.’s former church that “he began his career as a mid-20th-century civil rights activist.”
