President Donald Trump torched Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) during a congressional dinner for U.S. House Republicans on Tuesday.
Trump reminded lawmakers that Schiff had perpetuated the “fake investigations” into baseless claims that his campaign colluded with Russia in 2016.
However, it wasn’t until Trump began comically calling out Schiff’s physical appearance that things became hysterical.
“Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, can you believe this guy? He’s got the smallest neck I’ve ever seen,” Trump said to jeers from the crowd.
“And the biggest head. We call him ‘Watermelon Head.’ I said, ‘How can that big, fat face stand on a neck that looks like this finger?” he continued, holding up his hand for effect.
“It’s the weirdest thing. It’s a mystery. Nobody can understand it.”
Trump and Schiff have been at odds ever since the Democrat spearheaded a congressional probe into allegations that Russian agents colluded with the president’s campaign.
Schiff continued to claim he had “mountains” of evidence implicating Trump for years—despite never producing any.
Special counsel John Durham released a comprehensive report in 2023 concluding that no such evidence existed.
However, Schiff denounced the prosecutor’s investigation as “flawed from the start.”
Watch:
During Trump’s speech, he focused on his opponent for nearly three uninterrupted minutes, calling him “one of the most dishonest” politicians in Washington, D.C.
“He knows it’s a hoax because he made it up with Crooked Hillary,” he said.
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson responded, with one of his followers commenting, “Throughout the years, my president hasn’t really hated someone personally. But you can tell he really hates shifty Schiff.”
Another added that Schiff and his allies “would have gladly put Trump and his son in jail for the rest of their lives if they could have gotten away with it.”
In February, FBI director Dan Bongino posted a cryptic message online suggesting that Rep. Schiff may be in legal jeopardy for pushing the baseless Russian collusion story for years.
“I’m not letting this go. I wanna find out what happened because it can never happen again,” Bongino said.
“We had the FBI, in conjunction with the Department of Justice, officials in Congress, foreign governments, and intel people fabricate a story, invent a story that could have done serious and long-term harm to international relations with a nuclear-powered foe.”
“You do not get to change the course of electoral politics by fabricating a story, hijacking the justice system to give a patina of truth to a fake story,” he went on.
“Why do I bring that up now? Because who was the ringmaster of that circus? Yes, Adam Schiff, and no, I’m not letting it go.”
