The Bizarro Political World Adam Schiff Created

 The House of Representatives censured Adam Schiff on a 213-209 party-line vote on Wednesday.

The censure stems from Schiff aggressively pushing numerous false claims, especially the one devised and paid for by Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign that her political opponent colluded with the Kremlin in an effort to gain the most powerful elected office in the land.

The censure notes that Schiff "Occupied positions of extreme trust, affording him access to sensitive intelligence unavailable to most Members of Congress" but "Abused this trust by alleging he had evidence of collusion that, as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham, never existed."

The demagoguery struck Schiff's colleagues as so beyond odious as to merit condemnation.

Schiff enjoyed just that in a scene reminiscent of when a teenage Henry Hill emerged from the courtroom in Goodfellas to a mob of mobsters celebrating him for not ratting them out.

The bitterness engendered by Schiff's whoppers, which dragged the nation into such incredibly bitter times - with millions of eager-to-believe partisans investing in his lie that a president relied on a foreign power to gain his office - ensures that Democrats love him more, not less.

Schiff, of course, is running for Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat.
