The Democrat obsession with tearing down the Trump administration has reached absurd new levels. Now, Senator Adam Schiff — the same lawmaker who led two failed impeachments against President Donald Trump — is demanding answers over something so petty, it’s hard to believe taxpayer money is being spent on it.
The “Scandal” Democrats Are Pushing
Schiff claims that during Vice President JD Vance’s 41st birthday on August 2, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers raised water levels on Ohio’s Little Miami River just so Vance could kayak. According to Schiff, the move may be an “abuse of power” — his words, not ours.
What actually happened? The Secret Service says it adjusted the water outflow from Caesar Creek Lake not for Vance, but for the safety of law enforcement boats and emergency response teams escorting the Vice President. They also confirmed that Vance had no knowledge of the request.
Schiff’s Hypocrisy on Full Display
Incredibly, Schiff himself is currently under investigation by the Trump Justice Department for alleged mortgage fraud — charges he claims are “politically motivated.” This is the same Adam Schiff who used his position to wage years of political warfare against Trump, often based on unverified or outright false claims.
Fishing for Controversy — Literally
Democrats aren’t stopping at the kayak trip. They’re now pointing to a recent fishing outing between Vance and U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy, where Lammy admitted he didn’t have the proper license — something the British Foreign Office called an “administrative oversight.” There’s no confirmation whether Vance had a license, but that hasn’t stopped the left from trying to spin it into another scandal.
Conservatives Call It What It Is: Desperation
Even conservative commentator Benny Johnson mocked the entire episode, posting on X:
“This proves just how desperate the left is to dig up dirt on JD Vance. The whole thing is ridiculous — you can paddle a kayak in just a few inches of water.”
The Bigger Picture
This is just the latest in a long list of Democrat-led “investigations” targeting Trump’s allies — from the Russia hoax to the impeachment circus. Each time, the pattern is the same: create outrage, feed it to a willing media, and hope it sticks before the facts come out.
With Schiff now demanding over half a dozen answers by September 5, Americans can expect more headlines about rivers, kayaks, and water levels — all while real issues like border security, inflation, and national defense remain on the back burner for Democrats.
