Washington Examiner "Hosts of ABC's The View said Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of House Intelligence Committee, should not have tried to make "jokes" of President Trump's phone call with the Ukrainian president.
" 'Sometimes the jokes should be left to the comedians," host Joy Behar said on the Friday show about Schiff's attempted "parody" of the transcript before a House hearing.
" 'I think if you have to clarify that it’s a parody, you’ve done it wrong," host Meghan McCain added. "This is not a time for parody at all. I can’t stand Adam Schiff. I think he’s the worst kind of partisan in Washington."
"Host Abby Huntsman said Schiff should not be the figurehead for impeachment; rather, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi should take control of impeachment proceedings.
"The California Democrat has attempted to defend his "parody" transcript, which was met with criticism by a lot of Republicans.
" 'My summary of the president's call was meant to be at least part in parody," Schiff said Thursday. "The fact that that's not clear is a separate problem in and of itself. Of course, the president never said, 'If you don't understand me, I'm going to say it seven more times.' My point is that's the message that the Ukraine president was receiving, in not so many words." "The Trump administration released a transcript of a call that the president had with the Ukrainian president. In the call, Trump asked the Ukrainian president to investigate Biden over potential corruption. Schiff and Democrats argued that the president had threatened Ukraine's military aid if they did not open the investigation."

Adam Schiff, this is what you call "parody":
Marionette Strings Clearly Visible During Greta Thunberg Testimony
. . . ""Hey, wait a minute!" one attendee shouted. "Those are puppet strings, kinda like on Thunderbirds!" This caused some uproar, with everyone tracing the strings to see who had brainwashed this young girl into thinking the world was ending and pulling her strings. Some people got bored with the speech after that and just went and watched Thunderbirds, which had more interesting puppets and better acting.
"Security found the other end of the marionette strings hastily abandoned by whoever had been controlling her, and a man fitting the description of Al Gore diving off the fire escape into a private jet. Thunberg slumped down in her chair and shortly woke up out of her daze, angered and disappointed to find she had been exploited like this."
And of course this: Government That Wants You To Take Climate Change Seriously Invites Foreign High School Kid To Testify Before Congress.
Oh, wait. Don Lemon wants to ask a question.
