Bill Maher slapped Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) with a gotcha moment after he got him to critique a statement from former President Barack Obama, while the lawmaker thought it was from President Donald Trump.
“This statement from the administration: ‘The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.’ That too vague for you?” Maher asked Schiff on Friday’s Real Time.
“Totally vague,” Schiff said. “Okay, because that’s from Obama about Libya,” Maher said. The 2011 statement from the administration reads: “The President had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force in Libya because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.”
This is so good because you can see Schiff's face light up at the idea of going off on presidetial authority to use the military when he thinks Trump made the quote, before changing the subject once he realizes it was actually Obama. But then Schiff wouldn't be lying, corrupt weasel of a politician if it wasn't so easy to make him look like a fool.
