Is the media ready to fact check Schiff ?
Congressman Lee Zeldin calls for fact checkers!
I was on the Senate floor this evening for the #SchiffShow road show & it was hard to keep up with all of the spin, misleading & outright lies.
Is the media ready to fact check Schiff on any of this or is his nonsense just the media’s new Talking Points to blindly adopt?

Schiff Claim #1: He blocked GOP questions of witnesses in the House, bc we were asking “Who is the whistleblower, because we want to punish him?”
FACT: If you read through all of the transcripts, you will not find that question asked once.

Schiff Claim #3: Republicans are not telling the truth when they were saying that there wasn’t a vote to authorize an impeachment inquiry.
FACT: Republicans were calling for the vote when there had not yet been a vote. LATER, the Dems had one…weeks into the rushed inquiry.

Schiff Claim #4: The 1st hand witness testimony of the President telling Amb Sondland he doesn’t want a quid pro quo should be used as evidence that there was a quid pro quo.
FACT: The US public is not as dumb as Adam Schiff believes, hopes and prays they are.

Schiff Claim #5: POTUS didn’t exert exec privilege during the closed door depos & public Intel hearings bc he would have had to produce docs.
FACT: POTUS’ counsel wasn’t even allowed through the front door of the closed door depos & public Intel hearings to say or do anything.
