Watch: Schiff Loses His Mind After Lee Zeldin Delivers the Perfect Line to Describe Him

The Trump administration is coming loaded for bear during Congressional hearings.

They know that Democrats are going to come after them, but they're ready and they know what they are doing.

We saw Secretary of State Marco Rubio decimate first Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), then Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on Tuesday on issues from USAID to illegal aliens.

On Wednesday, it was EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's turn to be grilled. He nuked the execrable Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA). It caused Schiff to have a major meltdown. Schiff asked about the freezing of a grant.

Zeldin called him an "aspiring fiction writer." Now that's a clever way to politely call Schiff a liar. That's so on target, given all the b.s. that Schiff has slung over the years including Russia collusion. Good for Zeldin, more people need to call Schiff what he is.

That set Schiff off into a wild rant about how cutting waste and fraud in the EPA was somehow bad, saying Zeldin didn't care about who was hurt. Meanwhile, Zeldin was listing things that had gone wrong and weren't being attended to in California, like the wildfire situation.

Then, once again, as with Rubio the day before, Schiff got nailed by the rules. He wanted to continue, but his time had expired, and his manic mouth was cut off.

Schiff asks about a grant that has been frozen by the EPA to save money. Schiff has been in California for a long time. So he's going to yell at some guy who just came in and is doing a thorough evaluation of how the money is being spent? He's the one who's been in California, he's the one who's left it a mess. How long have Democrats been in control of the Golden State? What has Schiff done to solve any of the real problems afflicting California right now?

I'm so tired of the lies that saving money by cutting waste, fraud, and abuse is somehow about saving money for rich people. The tax cuts helped most Americans. Extending them will help most Americans. Democrats don't want to continue them. Democrats are the ones who want to hurt the average American, who would benefit from the tax cuts being extended.

Schiff needs to look in the mirror to see a person whose policies hurt the American people; it isn't Zeldin.

Zeldin delivered an additional zinger on X.

Aspiring fiction writer @SenAdamSchiff got sad today that I called out a bunch more of his lies. The next time he says something truthful will be the first.

Regardless, the Trump EPA will tirelessly work on issues affecting his constituents like hazardous waste removal in LA… pic.twitter.com/WKRaWOnPuC

Aspiring fiction writer @SenAdamSchiff got sad today that I called out a bunch more of his lies. The next time he says something truthful will be the first.
Regardless, the Trump EPA will tirelessly work on issues affecting his constituents like hazardous waste removal in LA and raw sewage from Tijuana despite this empty suit doing nothing to help.
