Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday hit back at House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) for vowing to oust Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee for his handling of the investigation into alleged ties between former President Trump’s campaign and Russia.

“McCarthy’s problem is not with what I have said about Russia. McCarthy’s problem is, he can’t get to 218 without Marjorie Taylor Greene and Paul Gosar and Matt Gaetz. And so he will do whatever they ask. And, right now, they’re asking for me to be removed from our committees. And he’s willing to do it. He’s willing to do anything they ask. And that’s the problem,” Schiff said on CNN’s “State of the Union,” referring to conservative Republican representatives from Georgia, Arizona and Florida, respectively.

McCarthy is vying to become Speaker when the next Congress convenes and has been vocal about his plans for if he takes the top spot, vowing to remove Schiff and Democratic Reps. Eric Swalwell (Calif.) and Ilhan Omar (Minn.) from their committee positions.

“Kevin McCarthy has no ideology. He has no core set of beliefs. It’s very hard not only to get to 218 that way — it’s even more difficult to keep 218. That’s his problem,” Schiff said on Sunday.

4. The crazed maniacs are extortionists.

I hate the GQP now!

[Bayard]

6. I have great respect for Rep. Schiff

And he's dead right about McCarthy--no morals, no balls.

I'd really like to see him take Feinstein's senate seat in 2024.

[Duppers]

12. YES, indeed

[paleotn]

7. Let the grand shit show begin!

8. hey, msn and hill. greene, gaetz and gosar are NOT "conservatives". They are

dangerous reichwing lunatics and traitors. Do NOT pretend that they are in any way normal.

10. REALLY THIS 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻

[KPN]

11. Spot on. The media are enemies of democracy as well as

the US Constitution and Bill of Rights if they do not recognize and heed this.

9. Wait 'til Jack Badass Smith gets through with his caucus, & Schiff might just stay on Intel anyway

The 118th Republican congressional caucus might have a different composition by the time he gets done.

13. Typical repuke move. REMOVE ALL INTELLIGENT people from the Intelligence Committee

Replace them with people who will follow the party line no matter what the facts or the people say.

14. Since we have the Senate and the White House for 2 more years

McCarthy is irrelevant. It is kind of funny to see the GOP in DISARRAY and I love being able to use that term, weeks before they actually get control of the House.

Get the popcorn and soda. There's gonna be a show!

Look closely, and you can see that a blue tsunami is starting to form. Politics being what it is, it may not take on the dimensions or size of some historic landslides, but I believe the 2024 election will be the point at which history recognizes the shift that has taken place into another political cycle, one in which Democrats are dominant for as long as they can hold it together and keep it going.

15. It doesn't matter who's selected to lead

or who pulls the strings. Having the r's in charge of the U.S. House is going to be as dismal as a constipated dog. There will be no action, no results for the next 2 years. And they will look like the failures they are.

[Marcuse]

16. "Kevin McCarthy has no ideology. He has no core set of beliefs."

[Evolve Dammit]

17. Fucking traitors. All.
