Donald Trump called Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi each “an enemy from within,” even as the former president’s Republican allies attempt to argue that his previous comments labelling political adversaries “the enemy from within” are being misinterpreted.

Donald Trump was criticized Sunday for referring to Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, both California Democrats, as examples of the “enemy from within.”

Former President Donald Trump continued his rhetoric against “radical left lunatics” and the so-called “enemy from within.” Trump previously said that both former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) are the “enemy from within” and insinuated he would use law enforcement or military force to go after them.

Former President Trump doubled down on his insistence that his political rivals are “the enemy from within,” even after similar comments drew backlash and became a centerpiece of one of Vice President Harris’s campaign rallies.

Donald Trump is not backing down from his fascistic remarks about “the enemy from within,” comments he has made repeatedly in recent weeks. Instead he’s naming Democratic Reps. Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff as part of said “enemy from within.”

Of course, he's an enemy. He's an enemy. He wanted to put my son in jail, and my son didn't even know what he was talking about," Trump said of Schiff.
