Schiff was asked about the personal attacks during an interview on MSNBC, ” I guess now that Bob Mueller is no longer in the target zone, I’m one of the favorite villains of the president. I wear it as a badge of honor. I do have to say I am troubled by the fact that the president spends so much of his time working on childish nicknames for me and others rather than attending to the challenges facing the country. Just the sheer amount of time he puts on that task is concerning to me. Apart from that, I pretty much ignore it. I realize that I need to do my oversight job no matter what kind of bile is thrown my way.”

Adam Schiff won’t be distracted by Trump

Trump wants to create distractions, chaos, and tabloid drama. Trump lives in a reality television world, and all of his playground nicknames are a way of defining and demeaning people who he views as enemies. As a former prosecutor, Rep. Schiff has heard it all before, so he is not going to be sucked in or distracted by the games that the president is playing.

Rep. Schiff is doing the one thing that Trump can’t stand.

He’s ignoring him.

No amount of silly nicknames can prevent Chairman Schiff from doing his job, and investigating Donald Trump.
