Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Calif.) said last week that Russia supports the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution because the country Americans “doing nothing but killing each other every day.”
Schiff, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, spoke at the University of Pennsylvania where he described Russia’s aim to “pit us against each other, to exploit our divisions,” the Daily Wire reports.
Schiff was talking about Russian use of social media to influence the 2016 presidential election in the United States and the impersonation of various political groups, including Black Lives Matter. The democratic lawmaker then claimed Russia was a big proponent of the United States’ Second Amendment
“Fascinatingly, they [Russians] also trumpeted the Second Amendment. Apparently, the Russians are very big fans of our Second Amendment,” Schiff said. “They don’t particularly don’t want a Second Amendment of their own, but they’re really glad that we have one. The Russians would be thrilled if we we’re doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are.”
