Washington, D.C. — Less than 24 hours after former President Donald Trump accused Senator Adam Schiff of fraud, the California Democrat responded with a two-word comeback that left Trump widely mocked and deflated his latest political attack.
Trump recently alleged that Schiff lied about his primary residence in order to receive favorable loan terms, citing a memo from Fannie Mae. He called the senator a “fraud” and demanded his resignation, labeling him a “scumbag” in a fiery outburst.
But Schiff quickly hit back, dismissing the accusation as “Trump’s latest attempt to retaliate against his enemies.” He refused to take the bait, reportedly smiling and calmly saying “Yes” in response to Trump’s tirade — a move that appeared to catch the former president off guard.
Later, Schiff doubled down on social media with a blunt two-word response: “Get out.” The succinct statement went viral, with supporters praising its clarity and defiance.
The senator’s quick and composed reaction not only defused Trump’s attack but also turned the spotlight back on Trump, prompting widespread ridicule online and calls questioning the former president’s credibility.
Political analysts say Schiff’s measured response strengthened his public image, while Trump’s accusations may have backfired, painting him as desperate and vindictive.
As the 2024 election cycle heats up, the exchange highlights the ongoing tension between Trump and prominent Democrats — and Schiff’s ability to turn controversy into political capital.
