In his quest for power, this week, pencil-necked Rep. Before announcing his retirement, Adam Schiff announced a bid for the Senate seat currently held by Dianne Feinstein.
In a hilarious turn of events, he was hit with an ethics complaint just one day later.
Schiff used video footage of him stalking Trump on the Senate floor, but the video is considered government video and not for his use.

Adam Schiff faces ethics complaint for political ad a day after announcing Senate campaign
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is facing an early hurdle to his 2024 Senate bid after a nonprofit ethics group filed a complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics alleging the California Democrat is using government resources to boost himself politically.
Schiff announced his intention to run for Senate on Thursday, releasing a campaign video featuring video of then-President Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial in 2019, in 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 investigate whether Schiff “misappropriated official resources for political purposes.”
“In the present case, Rep. Schiff is clearly using an official government video for campaign purposes in violation of federal law and House ethics rules,” the group wrote to the ethics office Friday. “The Office of Congressional Ethics is responsible for ensuring that each representative fulfills the public trust inherent in the office and that he adheres to the ethical standards of the House. Therefore, we urge the Board to immediately investigate whether Representative Schiff used official resources for campaign purposes in violation of House ethics rules.”
In her campaign announcement, Schiff used a video of Trump speaking on the Senate floor during his impeachment proceedings. Ethics rules prohibit members from using government resources in their campaign materials, including photographs or videos taken from inside the House or Senate.
This is the ad in question. You can see they use more than one clip from the impeachment trial. Hilariously, he also included a clip of him calling Trump a pencil neck.
Our democracy is at great risk. Because GOP leaders care about power above all else.
And our economy is not working for millions of hard-working Americans.

The people of California could actually make this clown a senator. It is pathetic and sad.
