Adam Schiff, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 30th district since 2001, recently took to social media to address issues related to Kash Patel and the January 6 insurrection. Schiff, who has been a prominent political figure since his election to Congress following a tenure in the California Senate, shared his views on Patel’s actions.
On January 30, 2025, Adam Schiff tweeted about Kash Patel’s involvement with the January 6 insurrectionists. He stated: “Kash Patel raised money for January 6 insurrectionists who attacked law enforcement. I asked him to look those officers in the eye and tell them he was proud of what he did. He couldn’t.”
Later that day, Schiff posted another tweet questioning Patel’s use of language: “‘We’ – pronoun – used by a speaker to refer to himself or herself and one or more other people considered together. Does that help @Kash_Patel?” This tweet appeared at 21:41 UTC.
In a subsequent post on the same day at 22:53 UTC, Schiff continued his critique of Patel by asserting: “Kash Patel can say he doesn’t support violence against law enforcement. He can say that ‘we’ doesn’t mean ‘we’. He can say any false thing that he wants to deflect responsibility. But it’s what he did that matters. And what he did was disgraceful.”
