It seems that even the most devoted members of the Democrat Party are beginning to see the writing on the wall.
During a recent appearance on “Real Time with Bill Maher,” California Senator Adam Schiff admitted that Democrats face a “major problem” after a blunt exchange with a Target cashier in San Francisco exposed the growing frustration even among their own constituents.
Schiff recounted the moment, which unfolded after his luggage was stolen from his car in famously lawless San Francisco — a city that has become synonymous with rampant crime, drug addiction, and homelessness under Democrat leadership. After the theft, Schiff ventured to a local Target store to purchase emergency toiletries. There, reality hit him harder than the robbers had.
As Schiff explained, even finding basic items like shampoo was a hassle. Due to the city’s crime wave, simple goods were locked up behind glass. After finally securing the items, he approached the cashier, who asked if he needed a Target bag. When Schiff explained his luggage had been stolen, the cashier didn’t mince words — according to Schiff, she essentially told him, “Democrats are assholes.”
“I thought, you know, if the cashier in South San Francisco at 10 o’clock at night believes that Democrats are assholes because the shampoo is locked up, and my stuff got stolen out of the trunk, we’ve got a major problem that we have to address,” Schiff admitted.
Schiff’s comments come after Democrats suffered a humiliating defeat in the 2024 elections — a political bloodbath largely driven by voter backlash to lawlessness, inflation, and cultural decay in Democrat-run cities. Yet it wasn’t until Schiff personally experienced the consequences of his party’s policies that he finally acknowledged the rot.
Despite trying to frame the experience as a call to address “legitimate concerns about crime,” Schiff’s remarks underline just how deeply disconnected Democrat elites have been from the suffering of everyday Americans.
The party that locked down millions during COVID, pushed radical social policies, and enabled crime to skyrocket is now facing a reckoning — one that not even Adam Schiff can deny any longer.
