On Tuesday, Republicans on the House Oversight Committee released a fierce new ad, featuring Democrats contradicting themselves over the impeachment inquiry, which the video calls a “sham impeachment.”
The video features news clips of liberal commentators roasting Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee for making up fake text from President Trump’s July transcript with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, claiming Trump threatened Zelensky, which never happened:
“‘Shorn of its rambling character and in not so many words, this is the essence of what the president communicates: ‘We’ve been very good to your country. Very good. No other country has done as much as we have. But you know what? I don’t see much reciprocity here. I hear what you want. I have a favor I want from you, though. And I’m going to say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it. On this and on that. I’m going to put you in touch with people, not just any people. I’m going to put you in touch with the attorney general of the United States, my attorney general Bill Barr. He’s got the whole weight of the American law enforcement behind him. And I’m going to put you in touch with Rudy. You’re going to love him, trust me. You know what I’m asking and so I’m only going to say this a few more times, in a few more ways. And by the way, don’t call me again. I’ll call you when you’ve done what I asked.’”
A featured clip in the House Oversight Republicans’ video is a Fox News segment featuring a Washington Post fact check giving Schiff “four Pinocchios.”
It appears the Republicans are bringing the heat on the “sham impeachment” inquiry and are in the fight until the end, especially when they have inconsistencies from the Democrats on their impeachment plans, including fake testimony.
