His remarks were met with exaggerated agreement from fellow Democratic Senator Cory Booker, highlighting a theatrical display of solidarity that some critics deemed hypocritical. Social media reactions to Schiff&#8217;s statements labeled him as a &#8220;pathological liar&#8221; and an &#8220;unrepentant&#8221; dishonesty,pointing out the inconsistency in his call for truth given his previous actions,including a formal censure by the House of Representatives.
