Everyone is laughing at Adam Schiff after the humiliating mistake he made.
He didn’t know a very basic fact about his own state.
Now his advisors are scrambling to clean up his mess after this embarrassing gaffe.
Progressive politicians are frequently out of touch with their constituents and don’t really know what’s going on in their states or districts.
They get elected by spouting off political platitudes that sound good to voters, but have no idea how to actually improve anyone’s life because they’re too busy hobnobbing with the social elite.
Adam Schiff and his competitors in the California Democrat Senate primary have provided one of the clearest examples of that to date.
California has been absolutely ravaged by crime. It was already bad five years ago, but has skyrocketed ever since the COVID pandemic.
The people of California are demanding answers, but the politicians who represent them have no idea what’s going on.
They don’t realize how much impact the soft-on-crime policies they believe in are having on the everyday welfare of their citizens.
According to Yahoo! News, “Three Democrats vying for an open California Senate seat denied in a recent debate that progressive policies have gone ‘too far’ in the Golden State amid surging crime which experts tell Fox News Digital flies in the face of reality and the data.”
“The three Democrats on the stage, Schiff, Rep. Katie Porter, and Rep. Barbara Lee, all declined to directly connect California’s crime surge to progressive prosecutors and policies and instead outlined other changes they would like to see.”
Now Schiff and his fellow Democrats are being called out by the people who know how bad the situation really is.
The article continues, “Heritage Foundation Senior Legal Fellow Cully Stimson and Legal Fellow Zack Smith, authors of the new book ‘Rogue Prosecutors: How Radical Soros Lawyers Are Destroying America’s Communities,’ told Fox News Digital that it is impossible to ignore the effects progressive policies have had on crime in California.”
Here’s what Stimson had to say: “Adam Schiff and Miss Porter and Miss Lee are in denial because they don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them which is the Soros money which funded the progressive prosecutor movement and the bail reform movement and so there’s no way they can commit political suicide by criticizing the policies.”
California voters clearly want to see their situation improved, but that’s only going to happen if they put their loyalty to the Democrat Party aside and vote for candidates who are actually going to fix the problem.
If they aren’t able or willing to do that, then they’ll continue to suffer at the hands of politicians who don’t care about stopping crime.
