Representative Adam Schiff criticized former President Donald Trump for continuing to claim he does not know E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused him of rape, saying it shows Trump is either “stupid or crazy.”
Schiff said Trump’s repeated denials that amount to defamation, despite court judgments against him, further prove he knows what he is doing is wrong but can’t control himself.
Trump said, “Miss Bergdorf Goodman, a person I never — I never met, I have no idea who she is except one thing. I got sued. From that point on, I said, Wow, that’s crazy. What this is. I got charged. I was given a false accusation and had to post a $91 million bond on a false accusation.”
Jen Psaki said, “I mean, he had self-control for like a second there. Do you hear that as meeting the bar of defaming, and do you think if you are Robbie Kaplan, you should act on that?”
The congressman argued a jury could view Trump’s latest comments about Carroll as more evidence of defamation.
Schiff said Trump’s inability to restrain himself, as seen in this and other situations, demonstrates he lacks the impulse control needed for the Oval Office given his authority, especially over nuclear weapons.
Schiff said, “Certainly could. A jury could certainly conclude he is at it again. And what’s more, the fact that he keeps having these judgments against them is just further evidence that he knows what he is doing is wrong. He knows he has defamed someone. It cumulatively adds to the proof against him, but it also shows both that, you know, you’ve got to be either stupid or crazy to keep doing the same thing.”
Psaki said, “Or both.”
Schiff said, “Or both, that is costing you millions. But it also shows no matter what, he is instructed by his lawyers or anyone else. He just can’t control himself. You don’t want someone in the Oval Office was no impulse control, not when they have their finger on the button in addition to many other things.”
