Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., roasted Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., late Thursday, saying Republicans could care less about what the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee thinks. Under Schiff's leadership, Gowdy said, Americans would not know anything about Hillary Clinton’s actions related to the Benghazi attack, who funded the Trump dossier, or FBI official Peter Strzok’s anti-Trump texts.

“If they [California] secede from the Union and President Maxine Waters wants to make him the attorney general in California, more power to him. Otherwise, I don't think anybody on my side of the aisle gives much of a damn what Adam Schiff thinks,” Gowdy told Jason Chaffetz, who was hosting Thursday’s edition of “Hannity.”

Gowdy’s comments came in response to Schiff calling him one of the “four horsemen of this apocalypse” in a recent interview.

"Let me tell you this about Adam," Gowdy said. ”Adam's had a terrible last couple of years. He wanted to be the attorney general under Hillary Clinton and no one in the country worked harder to protect her than Adam Schiff."

"He wanted to be the head of the CIA. He wanted to run for California and the run for Senate and the People's Republic of California, but he couldn't win either of those seats. So, now, now, he wants to be the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Speaking of the apocalypse, Adam Schiff wants to be the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee," he continued.

Gowdy then listed off all the scandals he thinks Schiff would have tried to bury if he was running the show.

“You wouldn't know … the spontaneous reaction to a video was a hoax in Libya. You would never have read the first Chris Stevens email. You wouldn't know that Hillary Clinton had this unique email arrangement with herself because Adam Schiff did everything in his power to keep you from finding out,” Gowdy argued.

He added: “You wouldn't know about the dossier. You wouldn't know who funded it. You wouldn't know it was used in a court proceeding. You wouldn't know about Strzok and [Lisa] Page.”
