Schiff emphasized that many Americans are currently suffering and recalled his efforts to secure aid for states affected by disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina, \u200dwithout imposing \u200bunrelated conditions. His comments followed Johnson&#8217;s proclamation \u200bthat \u2064he wouldn&#8217;t support unconditional aid for California\u2064 due to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/this-crisis-demands-a-constitutional-analysis-of-voting-machines\/\" title=\"This Crisis Demands a Constitutional Analysis of Voting Machines\">ongoing challenges<\/a> in the state. \u200bSchiff also expressed hope that President \u200cTrump, during a visit to \u2064California, \u2063was moved by the extent of the devastation caused \u200cby wildfires. Simultaneously occurring, the California legislature \u2064has approved a $2.5 billion aid package to assist with the ongoing \u200cfirefighting efforts and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/exclusive-parental-rights-group-files-complaint-against-illinois-school-for-racist-black-and-hispanic-only-programs\/\" title=\"Parental rights group files complaint against Illinois school for racially exclusive programs\">address related issues<\/a> in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/judge-rules-ca-gov-overstepped-his-authority-with-covid-order-issues-permanent-injunction-restraining-newsom-from-further-issuing-unconstitutional-orders\/\" title=\"Judge Rules CA Gov Overstepped His Authority with Covid Order, Issues Permanent Injunction Restraining Newsom From Further Issuing Unconstitutional Orders\">emergency services<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Schiff calls Mike Johnson &lsquo;shameless&rsquo; for withholding aid to California<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1949036\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Sen. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/adam-schiff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Adam Schiff<\/a> (D-CA) shamed House Speaker <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mike-johnson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Mike Johnson<\/a> (R-LA) for teasing the idea of only providing aid to <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">California<\/a> with conditions, while &ldquo;Americans are hurting right now.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>As of Sunday, three fires in Los Angeles have yet to be 100% contained.
