Well, look who’s finally catching up with the rest of America: Senator Adam Schiff, everybody’s favorite California Democrat who spent the better part of a decade pushing “bail reform” and soft-on-crime policies, just got a real-life taste of his own disastrous politics. During an appearance on “Real Time” with Bill Maher Friday night, Schiff admitted that his luggage was stolen right out of his car in San Francisco about two years ago. Congratulations, Senator — you’re officially a statistic in the crime wave your party helped unleash.
It gets better. Schiff, who’s been singing kumbaya with the progressive left on everything from cashless bail to coddling criminals, tried to downplay the obvious — that Democrat policies have turned California cities into crime-ridden, third-world nightmares. But even he couldn’t dodge reality forever. Recent polls show that nearly half of California voters are ready to vote for a Republican in 2026 because, shocker, people are tired of skyrocketing crime and insane living costs. Turns out, people actually want safe streets and affordable homes — who knew?
Schiff told Maher, “We’re going to have to change how we do business in California.” Gee, you think? Maybe not letting criminals waltz out of Walgreens with a shopping cart full of stolen goods would be a good start. Organized theft is basically a sport now in places like San Francisco, thanks to laws that only give a slap on the wrist if you steal less than $950 worth of stuff. No wonder shampoo has to be locked up behind bulletproof glass.
And the cherry on top? Schiff shared that after his luggage got swiped, he went to Target to replace basic supplies — but not without a helper dropping him off first, because heaven forbid a career politician be seen doing something normal alone. While navigating a store where you now need an employee just to touch a bottle of shampoo, Schiff met a cashier who bluntly told him — in so many words — that Democrats are, well, “a***oles.” That’s not my word, that’s straight from the mouth of a fed-up Target worker living in the mess people like Schiff created.
Adam Schiff had his luggage stolen in San Francisco, and while he was shopping for new luggage the clerk told him that 'Democrats are assholes':

Imagine needing a cashier to unlock your deodorant because criminals have more rights than law-abiding citizens. That’s the “progressive paradise” Schiff championed. It’s almost poetic that he finally had to live in the world he helped build — even if it was just for a couple of days with a Target bag as his luggage. Maybe next time, he’ll think twice before rubber-stamping policies that turn vibrant cities into open-air crime scenes.
Hey, at least he’s finally admitting there’s a “major problem.” Too bad it took losing his suitcase and a brutal reality check from a night-shift cashier to realize it.
