"I agree with Bill Maher. You know what? Congressman Schiff, an hour. Mano a mano. Let’s go. And I will point out all the lies, all the misinformation and propaganda you have been pushing for two years.”

Maher told Schiff, the House Intelligence Committee chairman, he should appear on Fox News to “get in the bubble” and reach a different audience.

“No one who needs to hear this is hearing you. That’s the problem,” Maher said on his show, “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

“You should go. That’s who needs to hear your message,” Maher said of the Fox News audience. “I thought you weren’t invited. ... Please go.”

Schiff noted that he had been on Fox News before, but had been going less frequently recently.

At the end of the conversation, Schiff said he did intend to make an appearance on Fox News again at some point.
