‘More than I Could Stomach’ to Hear McCarthy Say Equal Justice — He Wants Trump to Gets a Pass

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that it was more than he could stomach listening to Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) discuss “equal justice.”

McCarthy told reporters, “We’re not coming here to defend President Trump. We’re coming to defend equal justice.”

Schiff said, “There was Kevin McCarthy saying I’m not defending him, but let me defend him. More than just him defending him on that stage, he has directed the chair of the Judiciary Committee Jim Jordan to essentially, investigate the Manhattan district attorney. Jordan, and other Republican chairs have written to the DA demanding documents, demanding testimony. They are acting like Donald Trump’s criminal defense lawyers except they also have the subpoena power which makes them dangerous.”
