Speaking directly to viewers during an interview on February 23, 2025, Bongino was visibly angry as he called out Sen. Schiff. He said, “Adam Schiff has been the lead hoaxer. He’s been out there on television now for a year, looking in the face of you, America, and lying to every one of you in an effort to distract the entire country on a hoax Russia scandal.”

Sen. Schiff’s continuous lies about disproven allegations and his clear obsession with the fake leftist Russia narrative seriously enraged Deputy Director Bongino during the interview, where he claimed the senator was an outright fraud. He said, “He is a fraud, and he should be called out as a fraud. He has been lying to you.”

Reaction to Deputy Director Bongino’s explosive interview was strongly supportive online, with many conservative commenters ridiculing and condemning the woke senator. One such X user enthusiastically stated, “Nothing would make me happier than to see Dan Bongino arrest Adam Schiff. I think Dan should have the honor of clicking the cuffs on his sleazebag wrists.”

Others mocked Sen. Schiff with nicknames condemning his behavior. For example, a user said, “Schiff for Brains is NEVER going to give up the Russia lie. I think he’s said it so much he actually believes it. Schiff is psycho. Whenever he questions someone about it, he always goes off on a tangent with some irrelevant bullsh*t.”

Sen. Schiff faced zero accountability for his false claims, X users noticed and expressed concerns, saying, “It’s time we had a serious discussion about reasonable limits to “privileged speech. “It seems to me that this privilege should extend only as far as the Capitol steps, beyond which the normal rules of slander and libel should apply. It should not apply to media statements.”
