Something has dramatically changed with Adam Schiff.
After years of attacks on Republicans, Schiff is turning over a new leaf.
And he did one favor for the Republican Party that stunned everybody.
Adam Schiff has been the most aggressive attack dog against Republicans for years and has stopped at nothing to smear his political opponents.
He has developed a reputation for being willing to say dishonest things in the press to cast Republicans in the worst possible light.
That’s the reputation he carried with him into the California Senate race he is currently engaged in, where he had to fend off multiple other high-profile Democrats.
But now that Schiff appears to be the favorite on the Democrat side in the race, he’s pivoting his message to the general election.
He had vowed to never work with Fox News in any capacity.
But now, he is breaking that vow and running ads on Fox News, and therefore helping to fund the most conservative of the mainstream media news outlets.
This favor that he is doing for Republicans is sending shockwaves through D.C., where no one ever expected Schiff to extend an olive branch like this.
According to Politico, “California Rep. Adam Schiff has used his perch as a hero of the MAGA resistance to implore advertisers to boycott Fox News.”
“Now a candidate for the Senate, Schiff is violating his own entreaty. On Saturday, the Burbank Democrat will begin running TV ads on Fox.”
“Schiff’s ad buy is the latest in his deluge of spending to fortify his frontrunner status in the March 5 primary, and possibly even clear a path to the Senate.”
“Schiff has spent millions to promote Republican Steve Garvey and box out fellow Democrat Katie Porter. A pro-Schiff super PAC also is running ads on Fox News intended to boost Garvey.”
It appears Schiff is trying to set up a head-to-head race with Garvey in California’s jungle primary system, where the two top candidates compete in the general election regardless of party affiliation.
If Schiff had to face a Democrat, he would be in a dogfight. But against Garvey, who is a Republican in a very blue state, he has a much better chance.
The article continues, “Schiff’s decision to steer his donations to Fox is an acknowledgement that the potential Garvey voters he’s hoping turn out in the primary are squarely in the network’s target demographics. A Schiff campaign spokesperson did not directly address the boycott but defended his decision to spend money on Fox.”
Fox News surely appreciates the revenue Schiff is generating for them in this shocking reversal.
And Schiff is hoping to use Fox News to catapult him into the U.S. Senate so that he can spread his liberal agenda.
D.C. is buzzing after this pivot from Adam Schiff, who had vowed never to help Fox News in any way.
But political ambition trumps all, and now that Schiff sees an opportunity to use Fox to get into the Senate, he is all-in.
