Internet wants 'lying Schiff' banned after he claims Elon Musk has sparked rise in Twitter hate speech
WASHINGTON, DC: Congressman Adam Schiff, who bashed Elon Musk with statistics about hate speech rising on Twitter since Tesla CEO took over, got trolled after Musk responded by saying, “False, hate speech impressions are actually down by 1/3 for Twitter now vs prior to acquisition @CommunityNotes.”
Schiff on Thursday, December 8, wrote, "On Elon Musk's Twitter: - Slurs against Black people have tripled - Slurs against women are up 33% - Slurs against Jewish people are up 61% - And slurs against gay men are up 58% These numbers are abysmal – and unacceptable. Today, @RepMarkTakano and I are demanding action." Following this, Musk stated that the numbers are in fact coming down. To which, Schiff said, "Hey Elon, under your leadership neo-Nazis, homophobes, and racists are flocking to Twitter. And spewing hate speech. Your denial would be more credible if it was backed up by any real evidence. And if it wasn’t followed by a bunch of antisemitic QAnon tweets attacking me."

However, it was Schiff who came under fire with people taking a dig at him. One wrote, “Sorry Lyin Adam Schiff. The days of telling blatant lies on Twitter are over. Sit down.” A user wrote, "This is how low-life politicians like Adam Schiff build their career. By a total and complete falsification. Shame on you @RepAdamSchiff." Another commented by saying, "Adam Schiff you are using the power of your office to force or intimidate @elonmusk into censoring citizens' free speech. Very UnAmerican and a volition of our civil rights. You should be ashamed and face severe sanctions."

You should be ashamed and face severe sanctions.
The criticism continued with an individual writing, "@elonmusk Adam Schiff should be terminated from Twitter for his constant disinformation! Fact check every claim he has ever made on this platform and others and you will find a steaming dog pile of lying Schiff!" Another wrote, "Wrong. Nothing humiliates him. He just keeps the lies coming. Zero shame. Typical of lefties."
