For years, Congressman Adam Schiff was an untouchable icon for a vast segment of America. He was the stoic, unblinking face of “The Resistance,” the man who held the keys to the kingdom, promising daily that the walls were “closing in” on Donald Trump. His tenure as the lead investigator in the Trump-Russia collusion narrative made him a hero to some and a villain to others. But in the harsh light of a post-collusion world, the tide has turned with a vengeance. The man who built his career on a single note is now being brutally “destroyed,” not just by his political rivals, but by the very liberal titans who once shared his side of the aisle.

In a stunning series of on-air eviscerations, both liberal commentator Bill Maher and conservative firebrand Greg Gutfeld have independently dismantled the Schiff legacy, exposing him as a man driven by “selective outrage” and a “massive fallacy” that had devastating consequences. The verdict is in: Adam Schiff is a political fraud, and his day of reckoning is here.

The most shocking attack came from an unexpected front: Bill Maher. During an appearance on Maher’s show, Schiff was met not with the fawning praise he receives on other networks, but with a sharp, pointed interrogation that cut to the very core of his political existence. Maher, with the frustration of an ally betrayed, cornered Schiff.

“I’ve seen you on TV a lot in the last couple of years,” Maher began, setting the trap. “I know everything… you tell us about the Russian situation. I don’t have a clue what you think about healthcare. I’ve never heard it. I don’t know whether you’re for Medicare for all or improve Obamacare… I don’t know what.”

It was a political execution. In one simple, devastating observation, Maher exposed the truth: Adam Schiff has no other policies. He was a one-trick pony, and his one trick—the “phantom Russian collusion” narrative—has been thoroughly debunked. Maher, in a moment of journalistic integrity rarely seen on cable news, did what his counterparts “never had the guts to do.” He asked the emperor, “What else have you got?” The answer, written all over Schiff’s face, was a deafening “nothing.”

Schiff’s entire brand was built on “pushing false narratives” and “peddling fake dossas.” When that “crashed and burned with zero evidence,” as one commentator put it, he was left with nothing.

If Maher’s critique was a surgical incision, Greg Gutfeld’s was a “savage takedown” with a chainsaw. Gutfeld, in a segment on his show, reframed Schiff’s obsession from simple political theater to an act of catastrophic national negligence.

Gutfeld unleashed, blaming Schiff for “three years of a massive fallacy that did so much damage to this country.” But he didn’t stop there. He connected Schiff’s “baseless investigations” directly to a far greater tragedy: the COVID-19 pandemic. “We were having hearings on impeachment while the Corona virus was exploding,” Gutfeld raged. “We talked about that virus in green rooms, but we had to do this impeachment story… It’s all on him, man!”

This is the charge that will stick. Gutfeld’s accusation is that while Schiff was “obsessively chasing impeachment fantasies,” a real, tangible threat was creeping into the country, and lives hung in the balance. Instead of preparing for a global health crisis, Schiff “made sure all eyes were locked on Trump.” It’s a damning indictment that questions the very “morality of a man who misled the public just to push his own vendetta.” Gutfeld concluded with ice-cold fury: “He’s got to go. They got to investigate him. They got to hold him accountable.”

The unravelling has been swift. When Speaker Kevin McCarthy “booted” Schiff from the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff immediately “went on TikTok to complain,” painting himself as a martyr who was being punished for “holding Trump accountable.” But the public is no longer buying it. As commentators noted, he wasn’t removed for doing his job; he was removed because his “entire case against Trump collapsed under the weight of its own lies.”

This pattern of deception and deflection is now being called out everywhere. Maher, in another segment, exposed Schiff’s “glaring hypocrisy” and “selective outrage.” When asked about a judge who was arrested for helping an illegal immigrant evade ICE, Schiff “suddenly played dumb,” pretending not to know the details. “If the story had even remotely involved Russia,” Maher pointed out, “Schiff would have been all over it.” But because it didn’t fit his “preferred narrative,” he “conveniently tuned out.”

This is the new consensus on Adam Schiff: he doesn’t serve truth, he serves an “agenda.” He has become a “symbol of partisan warfare, not progress.”

Now, fresh off his official censure by the House—an event Gutfeld mocked, calling Schiff “the man with the zombie eyes” and a “12-in neck”—Schiff is running for the U.S. Senate in California. But his reputation precedes him. He’s being exposed as “too woke” for a state already weary of “politicians who tiptoe around cultural issues,” with critics pointing to his “hedging” and “carefully crafted response” on the issue of trans women in sports.

Adam Schiff built his brand on “deception, deflection, and division.” For years, he wasted America’s time, resources, and public trust on “lies, false hopes, and endless witch hunts.” Now, the smoke and mirrors have cleared. The man who promised the world a conspiracy is left exposed as a “career grandstander” with no ideas, no credibility, and no integrity. Both Bill Maher and Greg Gutfeld, from opposite ends of the political spectrum, have arrived at the same, unavoidable conclusion. And as he asks for a promotion to the Senate, voters are finally seeing the “political fraud” for exactly what he is.
