LOL! Adam Schiff Slammed With Ethics Complaint Over Ad One Day After Announcing Senate Bid

In his quest for power, this week, pencil-necked Rep. Adam Schiff announced a bid for the Senate seat currently held by Dianne Feinstein, before she has even announced her retirement.

In a hilarious turn of events, he was hit with an ethics complaint just one day later.

Schiff used video footage of himself going after Trump on the Senate floor, but the video is considered a government video and not his to use.

The Washington Examiner reports:

Adam Schiff faces ethics complaint for political ad one day after announcing Senate campaign

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is facing an early obstacle to his 2024 Senate bid after a nonprofit ethics organization filed a complaint to the Office of Congressional Ethics accusing the California Democrat of using government resources to boost himself politically.

Schiff announced his intent to run for Senate on Thursday, releasing a campaign video that featured video from then-President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial in 2019, of which Schiff was the lead prosecutor. The ad prompted a complaint from the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, which requested the Office of Congressional Ethics to investigate whether Schiff “abused official resources for political purposes.”

“In the present case, Rep. Schiff is clearly using official government video for campaign purposes in violation of federal law and the House ethics rules,” the group wrote in a letter to the Ethics Office on Friday. “The Office of Congressional Ethics is responsible for ensuring each Representative fulfills the public trust inherent in the office and that they comply with the House’s ethical standards. Therefore, we urge the Board to immediately investigate whether Representative Schiff used official resources for campaign purposes in violation of the House ethics rules.”

In his campaign announcement, Schiff used video of him speaking on the Senate floor during Trump’s impeachment proceedings. Ethics rules prohibit members from using government resources in their campaign materials, which include photographs or videos taken from inside the House or Senate.

This is the ad in question. You can see he uses more than one clip from the impeachment hearings. Hilariously, he also includes a clip of Trump calling him a pencil neck.

Our democracy is at great risk. Because GOP leaders care more about power than anything else.

And because our economy isn’t working for millions of hard working Americans.

We’re in the fight of our lives—a fight I’m ready to lead as California’s next U.S. Senator. pic.twitter.com/H0Pa0EhhMu

The people of California may actually make this clown a senator. It’s pathetic and sad.

Topless Woman In North Dakota Arrested By Police After Allegedly Destroying Statue Of Jesus In Cathedral

This is what happens when one mixes drugs with possible anti-religious tendencies. Earlier this week, a woman in Fargo, North Dakota apparently under the influence of narcotics allegedly walked into a church topless and decided to destroy a statue of Jesus Christ.

The deranged woman, 35-year-old Brittney Marie Reynolds, took off running across the street after allegedly committing the vandalism. After responding to a call from a concerned civilian, the Fargo Police caught up to Reynolds and arrested her.

Reynolds was unable to respond to simple questions from the officers after being detained.

Here is the story from Valley News Live:

A woman is in the Cass County Jail after police say walked into St. Mary’s Cathedral in downtown Fargo and destroyed a Jesus statue while topless.

Police responded to a call around 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, January 23, for a topless female damaging property at the church on 6th Avenue and 7th Street North. When Fargo Police arrived, they saw a woman running across the street but officers were able to detain her.

According to court documents, the woman was not wearing a shirt or a bra and did not have any shoes on. Police identified her as 35-year-old Brittney Marie Reynolds. At the time of the arrest, officers say Reynolds was not able to answer basic questions and appeared to be under the influence of narcotics.

Reverend Riley Durkin provided security camera footage to authorities. Court documents say the footage shows Reynolds enter the church and knock over a potted plant before making her way to the large Jesus statue on the wall. Police say the statue was ripped from the wall and smashed on the floor. Reynolds can be seen leaving the area shortly after that.

Police reached out to Monseigneur Joseph Goering for an estimated cost of damage; he was unsure of the exact value, but said a similar statue was found online at a price of $11,500 dollars.

Reynolds was arrested for criminal mischief and makes her first court appearance on January 25. A Cass County warrant was also put in place because Reynolds allegedly become assaultive toward Essentia Health Emergency Room staff.

If convicted, Reynolds faces a maximum of 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine.

The Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported that the statue is called “Christ in Death.” The sculpture shows the body of Jesus on a blanket with a crown of thorns along his lower legs.

The motive for the vandalism remains unclear. While it’s entirely possible this is simply the case of a drugged-out woman allegedly behaving erratically, acts of vandalism awash in anti-Christian sentiment have occurred before in Fargo.

The CNA noted that back in April 2021, a vandal defaced a statue of Jesus with black paint in front of St. Mary’s Cathedral. In 2018, someone beheaded a statue of the Virgin Mary at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church in south Fargo.
