In a California senatorial debate involving three Democratic candidates and one Republican, former MLB All-Star Steve Garvey accused Rep. Adam Schiff of lying to the American people.
Schiff defended himself by criticizing former President Donald Trump and his supporters, asserting that he stood up to a corrupt president.
Garvey reiterated his accusation, stating that Schiff lied to 300 million people.

“I think you’ve been censured for lying,” Garvey said to Schiff.
“I was just called a liar by Mr. Garvey. Mr. Garvey, I was censured for standing up to a corrupt president. And you know something? I would do it all over again,” Schiff said.
“Because that corrupt president, that president has been indicted with 91 felony counts, that president that you won’t refuse to support. Yeah, he’s a danger, and I will stand up to him and (former House Speaker) Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan and any of those MAGA enablers of his in the Congress. The reason why our democracy is in trouble is because folks don’t have the courage to stand up when they need to,” he said.
“Sir, you lied to 300 million people and you can’t take that back,” Garvey said.
The debate referenced a resolution from June 2023 that censured Schiff for spreading false accusations and abusing trust by alleging evidence of collusion that never existed.
“Representative Schiff abused this trust by alleging he had evidence of collusion that, as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham, never existed,” the resolution read, noting, “… for years, Representative Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia” and had “behaved dishonestly and dishonorably on many other occasions, including by publicly, falsely denying that his staff communicated with a whistleblower to launch the first impeachment of President Trump.”
“Representative Schiff hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities over the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar of our national security” and had “misled the American people and brought disrepute upon the House of Representatives,” the resolution stated.
