John, you may not know this about me, but I do a bit of moonlighting as a stand-up comic.
And trust me, I’m not giving up my day job.
So take it from me when I say, as the target of Sean Hannity’s stand-up set at the Fox Nation Patriot Awards show in Nashville, he’s a pretty lame comedian. Here he is, comparing my last name to “sh*t.” How original.
“A lot of you complained to my bosses and you say 'Hannity curses on the air because he says it’s a complete sh*tshow.' But if you listen closely, I’m saying, because Adam Schiff is a piece of sh*t, but if you say Schiff and sh*t together, you know, you can mix it up. But I never said it wrong on TV. I said it’s a complete Adam Schiff show.” — Sean Hannity
I’m flattered, by the way. While simultaneously more than a little disturbed.
The level of acceptable discourse in this country has never been lower — and it’s not only due to Donald Trump, but to powerful figures in the far-right media like Sean Hannity.
I will always strive to do what is right, to act with honesty and integrity, no matter what attacks the MAGA movement sends my way. But at times like this, I need to count on your help to fight back against the lies and insults.
If you agree that this level of political discourse is unacceptable, then please chip in to my Senate campaign today. In the face of such sustained, vulgar attacks, I really need your help to respond.
