Sen. Adam Schiff again leads Dems in a ‘Big Lie’ — that Trump will scuttle the midterm elections

Sen. Adam Schiff is again leading Democrats in a Big Lie: this time, that President Donald Trump “intends to subvert” the midterm elections.

On ABC News’ “This Week” Sunday, the California Democrat — who was sanctioned by Congress for falsely claiming he had “direct evidence” of Russian collusion in the 2016 election — insisted Trump will “take some kind of action to overturn the result” if Republicans lose seats in the House this November.

Schiff is echoing other lefties, particularly after Trump called for the federal government to take over voting.

The White House says he was only pushing for passage of the SAVE Act, to crack down on voter fraud, but the Brennan Center’s Wendy Weiser shrieked of “a full-blown effort . . . to lay the foundation for interfering in upcoming elections.”

This is not “fascism”; Democrats have pushed for similar steps; in the Biden years, most recently, they sought nationwide rules requiring same-day voter registration and early voting.

Some point to Trump’s push for red states to gerrymander House districts as “subversion,” though blue states have gerrymandered their districts (and both sides have done it for centuries).

But the hysteria often runs to pure fantasy: Democratic National Ken Martin predicts the prez will send the military to cities to scare people from voting.

Worse yet, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif) warns “we will not have an election” at all in 2028.

OK: Trump after the 2020 election went obscenely far over the top about that vote being stolen, and to this day repeats that nonsense, though he’s never produced sufficient evidence to back his claim.

Yet Democrats do the nation no favors by answering with their own, even wilder, charges now.

Heck, the president could point to his own precedents then: Hillary Clinton by mid-2017 was insisting that he’d stolen the 2016 vote with Russia’s help — a lie that grew (with a huge helping hand from the media) until most Democrats still believe it now.

Look, the country’s divided enough. Both sides should ratchet back the extreme language and hysterical predictions.

Then again: If Democrats can’t criticize Trump without wild fear-mongering, maybe he’s not doing such a bad job after all.
