House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff said Sunday that the Republican Party has become “an autocratic cult around Donald Trump.” Schiff gave the description during an interview on CBS’ Face the Nation after host Margaret Brennan asked about the way Democrats are pursuing legislation that only fellow party members will support. “It once again looks to people at home like, they can’t get along, Washington’s not working again,” Brennan said. But Schiff said that the current dynamic was only a product of what the Republican Party has become.

The Republican Party “is not interested in governing,” Schiff said. “It’s not interested in even maintaining the solvency in the credit worthiness of the country. And we have to recognize that they’re not interested in governing. And so we’re going to govern, we’re going to have to do it. And if we have to do it with our own votes, we will do that.”

Schiff went on to say that the Republican Party “has completely abandoned its ideology.” Instead, it has turned itself into “an anti-truth, anti-democratic cult of the former president.” Schiff said that there’s a possibility there could be another Capitol attack in the future but that isn’t what worries him the most. “But what is even more pressing a threat is what we see Republicans doing around the country, taking this big lie about the last election and running with it,” he said.
