Incoming Senator Adam Schiff Claims Trump is Planning to Use The Military Against Him (VIDEO)

Congressman Adam Schiff has claimed that Donald Trump is planning to use the military against him when he takes office in January.

Schiff, who was just elected as the next Senator for California, made the claims in an interview with Jake Tapper when asked about comments made by Trump concerning the radical left.

“I think the bigger problem are the people from within,” Trump said recently. “We have some very bad people.”

“We have some sick people, radical left lunatics, and I think they’re the and it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard or if really necessary, by the military because they can’t let that happen.”

“Do you think that he was talking about using the military against you, and how concerned are you about retribution?” Tapper asked him.

Schiff replied:

Clearly, that’s what he was talking about. Would he go to that link with the military and essentially fulfill some kind of an unconstitutional order? I would hope the military would have more independence than that.

Historically, the military has stood up to civilian authority where civilian authority has suggested, as in his first administration, unconstitutional acts. Um, look, I’m not going to be intimidated by anything he says by anything he does. If I was, I wouldn’t be on your show.

I’m going to do my responsibility in the Senate. Californians are expecting me, first and foremost, to try to work and get things done, work across the aisle where the president wants to fight prices.

I will work with him. Where the president wants to engage in unconstitutional abuses of power, just as he did in the first administration, I will defend our state. I will defend the rights and freedom of the American people. So, yeah, that’s what he said. That’s what he may try to do. But I’m not going to be intimidated.

It is not the first time that Schiff, a notorious conspiracy theorist best known for his pushing of the Russia collusion hoax, has claimed that Trump will personally be ocming after him.

Speaking to The Los Angeles Times back in April, Schiff said that he was anticipating that Trump would send him to prison, although failed to outline how he plans to do so.

“We’re taking this seriously because we have to,” Schiff said. “We’ve seen this movie before … and how perilous it is to ignore what someone is saying when they say they want to be a dictator.”

Earlier this week, Schiff similarly expressed terror at the prospect of Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz becoming the next U.S Attorney General.

"First the Supreme Court granted a president immunity for weaponizing the Justice Department," he wrote on the X platform."

"Now Donald Trump wants to appoint Matt Gaetz as AG? Confirming him would mean affirming the worst potential abuses of DOJ. He must be rejected by the Senate."

Confirming him would mean affirming the worst potential abuses of DOJ.

He must be rejected by the Senate.
