GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy railed against Adam Schiff Sunday, accusing him of single-handedly dictating the impeachment inquiry he described as a 'calculated coup.'
"Now why is [Schiff] doing that? Is it because we found out that he met, and the staff met with him? Is it because we found out now that the whistleblower's attorney tweeted that the coup had started? That impeachment will follow ultimately? That he predicted that CNN would play a key role?" McCarthy, a California Republican, continued.
Much like the president's own"Shifty Schiff" moniker for the House Intel chair, McCarthy characterized Schiff as a manipulative, dictatorial leader of the entire impeachment process. "Adam Schiff now is dictating that only the chair and the ranker and staff...he is trying to control all of this. It goes back to this is so calculated, so controlling, by one person, Adam Schiff. Who is the individual who has consistently lied to America and created greater control over the whole calculation."
"The whole thing is being driven by a partisan, Adam Schiff," Graham said."The whole thing is illegitimate if they don't inquire about Hunter Biden."
