Progressive group attacks Rep. Adam Schiff for failed record on Trump following Senate campaign announcement

A progressive group was quick to attack Rep. Adam Schiff after he announced his bid for California's U.S. Senate seat Thursday. 

Though Schiff has sought to position himself as a fighter against "MAGA extremists" and a champion of progressive values, the group laid into the longtime California congressman for his lack of accountability on former President Donald Trump. 

"Adam Schiff plays the role of Trump antagonist on TV, but a recent book details how he stalled and undermined leaders trying to hold Trump accountable in Congress. And he never challenges corporations or the Democratic establishment," Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee (PCCC), said Thursday in a statement.
