Poor Rep. Adam Schiff. He just can't get away with lying to the world anymore. On Tuesday, Adam tried to scaremonger everyone again about Rep. Jim Jordan possibly becoming Speaker of the House. Unfortunately, Adam forgot to read his Constitution (if he owns a copy), specifically the 12th Amendment.
Fortunately, Community Notes arrived to tell Schiff how Congress actually works.
Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) ~ Today, Republicans may make Jim Jordan the Speaker.
Jordan would preside over the counting of electoral votes in the next election.
After he was deeply involved in trying to overturn the last one.
Just when you think they can’t be more irresponsible, they prove you wrong.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know:
The vice president, not the speaker, presides over counting of electoral college votes; and whomever is chosen as speaker in Oct. 2023 will only be speaker during the 1/6/25 electoral count if House Rs retain majority in Nov. 2024

We've said it before and we'll say it again: Community Notes is the best thing Elon Musk has brought to Twitter, and it's not even close. There was not a single traditional 'fact-checker' who called Schiff out on his tweet, but the people did.
Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) ~ Schiff doesn't know how elections work.
Schiff and his fellow Democrat commissars know enough to subvert them.
Doesn't he? Is Schiff really this ignorant, or was he deliberately lying? While we are tempted to embrace the power of 'AND' here, we're pretty sure we know which one it was.
Schiff is a shamelessly corrupt, treasonous liar. His compromised, treacherous nature has been SO clearly demonstrated that he should not even be allowed to vote, let alone hold public office of any kind.
Will, Burgumaniac (@spudhawg) ~ Adam knows what he’s saying isn’t true. He just thinks his followers are dumb enough to believe him.
Well, Schiff IS correct about that ... his bootlickers (e.g., clo, OCU, whackjob, and zzshart) are infantile morons who will believe ANYTHING their Democrat betters tell them.
So, you know what? We're not going to even take him seriously. He is lying and he knows it. And as great as Community Notes is, Schiff also knows that leftist voters will believe him anyway (there were several replies proving this).
Instead, let's just have some fun at his expense, and show some of the best replies and memes that were calling him out.
BrendaK (@SmellyCat2Sunny) ~ Lying Shifty Schiff 👉🤡
Pismo (@Pismo_B) ~ Are you tired of BULLSCHIFF?
Gizmo (@gizmothegrrreat) ~
Cynthia (@CynthiaCS1980) ~ Oh look. Shifty is caught in yet another lie.

Giant Robot (@giantrobot33) ~ Speaking of irresponsible ... 🖕🤡

HA. That one might be our favorite (sound up).
Unfortunately, there is a serious side to this too, and we have to share it. We don't blame you if you want to avert your eyes ...
An Angry Empath: Random Thoughts From A GenX Gal (@empath_angry) ~ And this man wants to be a Senator, folks ... 🤦♀️
Yikes. And it's California, so he'll probably win. True, he doesn't check all the identity politics boxes, but he's a reliable leftist liar, so they might forgive him those genetic sins.
Anyway, sorry for sharing that last tweet. We don't like it at all either.
