Wallace Tells Schiff: 'I Expect More From You'

May 29, 2016

Chris Wallace ripped into Rep. Adam Schiff (D., Ca.) when Schiff tried to change the subject from Hillary Clinton's private server to Colin Powell's use a private email address.

"First of all, we have shown that it is different and secondly, I think it's frankly a red herring, sir, and I expect more from you," the Fox News Sunday host said.

Schiff had tried to use the defense that State Department Inspector General found that Powell had used a private email address, as well as used two different laptops. One of the laptops was strictly for personal use.

"Sir, the guidelines repeatedly strengthened in 2005, 2006, 2011 Hillary Clinton was operating in a completely world. Can we please stay to the issue of what Hillary Clinton did or didn't do and not talk about Colin Powell?" Wallace said.

Schiff responded that what Powell did was not irrelevant to the issue. Schiff begged Wallace to let him finish his comments on Powell, Wallace shut the congressman down immediately.

"Forgive me, we're going to keep going. We're done with Powell," Wallace stated.

Schiff sarcastically said that he found it amusing that no one wanted to talk about Powell and that all of the focus was on Clinton.

Wallace repeated throughout the interview that it was Clinton who was running for president, not Powell.

Wallace also promised that he would not vote for Powell in the presidential election.
