Trump calls Schiff and Pelosi 'enemy from within' even after allies defend past comments

[Dulcinea]

(CNN) Donald Trump called Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi each “an enemy from within,” even as the former president’s Republican allies attempt to argue that his previous comments labeling political opponents as such are being misinterpreted.

“These are bad people. We have a lot of bad people. But when you look at ‘Shifty Schiff’ and some of the others, yeah, they are, to me, the enemy from within,” Trump said in an interview on Fox News’ “MediaBuzz” that aired Sunday.

Fox News’ Howard Kurtz gave Trump an opportunity to clarify — “He’s a political opponent of yours, but is he an enemy?” — to which Trump responded, “Of course he’s an enemy, he’s an enemy.”

Trump also called Pelosi an “enemy from within,” falsely claiming the then-speaker of the House had the opportunity to protect the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.

1. So the citizens of the State of California and especially the citizens of Alameda County, CA ....

…. are the real enemies of the American People? And somewhere in Cow Fart, Oklahoma a low information mouth breather will be looking at his AR and making plans to fight for “liberty and
freedom.” Trump is a domestic terrorist with cognitive decline. God I want him gone.

2. I Pointed This Out Last Thursday

Using Trumps own statements, no clarifications are necessary. He said it and he meant it. Period. They should stop treating him like a presidential candidate because he is unqualified to serve - never mind previous service. He should be barred by the 25th Amendment.

He encouraged white supremacist violence, stole classified documents and many shady financial relations between foreign entities and his family.
