Reinstate former President Trump

Karl connected the January 6 committee hearings with Trump’s tweets, which Schiff was also too happy to jump on. “Watching the January 6th Committee hearings, Trump’s tweets were a big part of the story to be told. What do you think of him being back on Twitter,” Karl asked.
“I think it’s a terrible mistake and you’re absolutely right,” Schiff said as he began a rant. “As we showed in the January 6th hearings, the president used that platform to incite that attack on the Capitol, his comments about the vice president, his own vice president, put Mike Pence’s life in danger. He showed no remorse about that. He continues to lie about his actions on that day. He talks about pardoning the people who attacked police officers and attacked the Capitol that day. And it contradicts what Elon Musk said that he was going to establish a counsel to evaluate this and further contradicts Musk and his claimed concern about bots on his own platform to subject the decision to a poll on the platform that could be easily abused that way,” he continued.
Schiff didn’t just go after Trump, but Musk as well, jumping on another hysterical leftist bandwagon. “It just underscores the erratic leadership of Twitter now under Musk, but also the security concerns, with security people fleeing Twitter and what that means for the protection of Americans’ private data,” he also lamented.
It is a “terrible mistake” for Twitter’s Elon Musk to reinstate former Pres. Trump's account, Jan. 6 Committee member Rep. Adam Schiff tells @JonKarl.

Making Schiff’s reaction even more hysterical is that Trump hasn’t even gone back to Twitter yet. As Spencer highlighted earlier on Monday, there’s legalese to do with Trump using social media accounts other than Truth Social. Trump himself has also communicated a preference for his own platform.
The January 6 select committee hearings came up once again in that Schiff told Karl “I think the evidence is there to make a referral” against the former and potentially future President Trump.
