President Trump Calls California Rep. "Little Adam Schitt" in Tweet
-------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump attacked California Democratic Congressmember Adam
Schiff Sunday, misspelling his last name. Trump tweeted, "So funny to
see little Adam Schitt (D-CA) talking about the fact that Acting
Attorney General Matt Whitaker was not approved by the Senate, but not
mentioning the fact that Bob Mueller (who is highly conflicted) was not
approved by the Senate!" Schiff is poised to head the House Intelligence
Committee after Democrats retake control of the House in January. He
vowed to take action against Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker if he
intervenes to halt Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe. Schiff also
called Whitaker's appointment after the forced resignation of Jeff
Sessions unconstitutional. In response to Trump's attack, Schiff
tweeted, "Wow, Mr. President, that's a good one. Was that like your
answers to Mr. Mueller's questions, or did you write this one yourself?"
