Senator Adam Schiff issued a warning to fellow Democrats, citing a
conversation he had with a Target cashier in San Francisco and
emphasizing that his party has a “major problem.”
On Friday, during a panel discussion on “Real Time with Bill Maher,”
Schiff (D-Calif.) was asked to comment on the current health of the
Democratic Party and how it governs, particularly in states such as
California.
“So we’re gonna have to change how we do business in California,”
Schiff told Bill Maher. “We’re gonna have to address people’s legitimate
concerns about crime.”
Schiff then recalled an incident two years ago in San Francisco when
his suitcase was stolen from his car, admitting that it was the only
occasion he ignored recommendations from others not to leave valuables
in automobiles while in the city.
“And what was most memorable about the experience for me is I went to
this Target in South San Francisco, 10 o’clock at night, and I’m
getting the toiletries I’m gonna need for my next two days in the city,”
Schiff said. “First of all, I had to get the clerk, which is hard to
find, to unlock the shampoo or whatever. So that’s one thing.”
“And then I get to the cashier. The cashier asked me if I want one of
those Target bags with a little bullseye on it. And I said, ‘Yes, that
Target bag is gonna be my luggage for the next two days,” Schiff
continued. “And she asked me what happened, and I told her, and she
basically said in not so many words, ’Yeah, Democrats are a—h—s.’ And I
thought, you know, if the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o’clock
at night believes that Democrats are a—h—s because the shampoo was
locked up and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we’ve got a major
problem that we have to address.”
“That’s an awesome story,” Maher reacted. “That says a lot. I hope all the Democrats listen to that story.”
Schiff expressed optimism about San Francisco’s incoming Democratic
mayor, Daniel Lurie, who he thinks is “helping lead the way in how we
kind of reinvent how Democrats are doing governance.”
During the panel, Schiff also confronted concerns that the entertainment industry is fleeing California.
