Schiff says he's 'not going to be intimidated' by Trump

Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said he is “not going to be intimidated” by President-elect Trump as concerns grow over if the next administration will go after Trump’s enemy list.

“Look, I’m not going to be intimidated by anything he says, by anything he does,” Schiff said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Schiff, a current California representative, is on Trump’s list after he played a key role in his first impeachment trial. Trump has vowed for revenge and faces few limitations with loyal Republicans nominated to his cabinet and the GOP in control of both the House and Senate.

“I’m going to do my responsibility in this Senate. Californians are expecting me, first and foremost, to try to work and get things done,” he said, adding, “where the President wants to engage in unconstitutional abuses of power, just as he did in the first administration, I will defend our state.”

to stand with Schiff to defend the rights and freedoms of Americans, no matter what threats Trump makes or if he acts on them. And vowed not to be intimidated?

That should happen in the first week of January, immediately after everyone is sworn in. And Kamala should be included because she still leads the Senate until January 20th.
