Humour on the senate floor

On Thursday, during the impeachment trial, Adam Schiff reminded his colleagues of how in November of last year Putin had claimed that he was very relieved that the US had finally stopped blaming Russia for meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and were now accusing Ukraine.

Shiff on the floor of the Senate said that Putin thanked god that Russia was not being accused of meddling anymore in US elections and was instead blaming Ukraine. To this Schiff added that Donald Trump at least deserves credit for turning Vladimir Putin into 'a religious man'. Schiff's comments drew laughter from the Democratic side of the aisle but the humour was not shared on the Republican side.
