Adam Schiff criticized President Donald Trump for creating a climate of fear during his second term, indicating that he aims to intimidate law firms, universities, immigrants, citizens, and media organizations. Schiff emphasized that Trump has been successful in instilling fear among Republicans in Congress, judges, and others, making them conform to his will over the past six months. The Late Show was canceled shortly after critical remarks made by Stephen Colbert regarding a settlement agreement with Trump, raising questions about the motivations behind the decisions of CBS and Paramount.
"Fundamentally, it's different because Donald Trump was much less successful in the first term in creating a climate of fear. This is what he's after. He wants to make the law firms afraid. He wants to make universities afraid. He wants to make immigrants afraid. He wants to make citizens afraid. He wants to make news organizations, CBS and Paramount, afraid. He wants to make ABC afraid. And he has succeeded."
"More than anything else, he wants to make Republicans in Congress afraid. Because he wants them to do his will. He wants the judges to be afraid, afraid they'll be impeached if they cross him. Afraid for their own personal safety if they cross him."
