Adam Schiff Forced to Give Important Speech Without a Suit After California Thieves Steal His Clothes

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California hit a setback while campaigning for the Senate on Thursday when thieves stole his suit, leaving him to ask for donations in street clothes at a ritzy fundraiser in San Francisco, according to a report.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported the congressman was in the Bay area for a cash grab as he attempts to fill the seat formerly held by Dianne Feinstein, who died in office last September.

Before the private fundraiser, Schiff’s car was burglarized in a city parking garage.

Instead of attending the formal attire affair in his usual suit and tie, Schiff instead wore a long-sleeve shirt and a hiking vest.

Schiff told the Chronicle he was not in the car when it was broken into and admitted, “Yes, they took my bags.”

He thanked his hosts for having him and the crime was essentially dismissed, almost as if it was just a part of doing business in the area.

As Kevin Fagan with the newspaper reported, “The congressman [said] he’d been warned to not leave anything in the car, but apparently he was in a hurry and didn’t want to be late …”

Will the situation in California continue to decline?

Dinner attendees and hosts joked about the burglary, according to the report.

Anyone who follows California’s issues with rampant theft should not be surprised by what happened to Schiff.

Crime, especially theft, is just a way of life now for a city and state that were, during the last century, among the crown jewels of the republic.

Democrats now hold all the power in their one-party state and it hasn’t done California’s voters any favors. But with the state safely in Democratic hands, state officials love to talk about problems in the rest of the country.

As a member of the Golden State’s congressional delegation, one function of Schiff’s job is to essentially stump for the spread of the failed policies that led to Thursday’s burglary.

Californians like to export their bad ideas to other states.

Those ideas become policies that embolden people to not think twice about breaking into a car and stealing someone’s luggage in a world full of cameras.

Not to place blame on a victim of a crime here, but Schiff has spent recent years more concerned about identity politics than with public safety.

“Building safe and secure communities is, at its core, about building trust,” Schiff says of the issue of crime on his website. “It’s about fixing what’s broken and rooting out the systemic prejudices that tilt the scales of justice against Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous people.”

He concludes, “It’s going to take all of us to make the dream of a fair, just, and safe society a reality.”

A more appropriate stance would be to state that all criminals should be prosecuted equally for violating laws and to declare that justice is blind.

In urban California, public officials and those who represent them in Washington are not concerned with public safety or enforcing laws, and criminals are aware of that.

That was probably why someone felt bold enough to break into Schiff’s car on Thursday, and also why he did not appear to be outwardly bothered by it.

But from a political standpoint, Schiff couldn’t have complained if he wanted to.

He owns the state’s decline as much as anyone.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
