Speaker McCarthy kicked Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) from the Intelligence Committee —and Twitter is here for it.
“The misuse of this panel during the 116th and 117th Congresses severely undermined its primary national security and oversight missions – ultimately leaving our nation less safe,” McCarthy said.
According to a Fox News report, Twitter users were happy to see Schiff punted from his committee assignments; many users citing Schiff lied to the American people.

The Federalist editor-in-chief Mollie Hemingway gave her take on the events that led to Schiff’s dismissal.
“Adam Schiff, who for years falsely claimed to have evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia, and whose office is known for widespread leaking to support such partisan information operations, has been kicked off the Intel Committee,” she tweeted.
University of New Mexico professor Nick Flor tweeted, “’This is petty, political payback…’ Okay, look. You lied 24/7 for FOUR YEARS about having proof of President Trump’s collusion with Russia. LIED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE. L-I-E-D. It’s not payback. It’s inevitable.”
"This is petty, political payback…"

X Strategies LLC Senior Digital Strategist Greg Price tweeted a similar critique.
“You went on TV for two years and said that you had personally seen evidence of Trump colluding with Russia while being told in closed door hearings by intel officials that there was no evidence of it,” he said. “You should resign in disgrace.”
The Federalist CEO and co-founder Sean Davis tweeted, “Good. You’re a lying, leaking clown. You and Swalwell can use your extra free time to start the Friends of Fang Fang Committee.”
