Actor James Woods delivered a sharp critique of Adam Schiff during remarks in which he accused the California lawmaker of promoting false narratives related to the Russia investigation and criticized the role of media figures and Democratic politicians in amplifying those claims.
Woods centered his comments on Schiff’s role in advancing allegations tied to the Russia investigation and the broader public debate that followed.
"The worst human being in America is a man named Adam Schiff. Yes, he is. I do hate that guy. He is a horrible, censored, liar human being. He promoted that Russia hoax," Woods said.
Woods continued by criticizing what he described as coordinated messaging among media outlets and Democratic political figures during the controversy surrounding allegations of connections between Russia and President Donald Trump.
"What people never realize is while he was doing it, and all of the media were in lockstep with all the mantras that whoever would write up for them every day, they're talking points, and then all the useful idiots would follow it in the Democratic Party, and they still say it," Woods said.
He also referenced comments made by television host Stephen Colbert during the height of the political debate over the Russia investigation.
"I mean Stephen Colbert. I can't believe I'm saying his name. Literally used these words, Trump is Putin's cock holster. Said this about the president the United States, right?" Woods said.
Woods also criticized the context in which those remarks were made, referencing the platform on which the comments aired.

"Okay, you know, I have to say it's like on a network television. It's, it's just appalling, and it was a complete and utter psyop."
Woods further described the broader controversy surrounding the Russia investigation as a psychological operation that gained widespread traction among the public.
"It was, it was a psychological operation... and people believed it, and this guy's still promoting it."

Schiff served as a central figure in congressional investigations into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, including his role as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee during the investigation.
The Russia investigation, which spanned multiple congressional inquiries and the special counsel investigation led by Robert Mueller, examined allegations of Russian efforts to interfere in the election and whether members of President Donald Trump’s campaign coordinated with Russian actors.
Woods’ remarks focused on Schiff’s public statements during that period and what he described as the broader political and media response to the allegations.
The actor has previously spoken publicly on political issues and frequently comments on current events and political debates involving national figures and major policy controversies.
