He’s a senator now. Still he doesn’t inspire me. He needs to stop accepting AIPAC, stop working for the donor class, start representing California values.
Most people do the same. While it is technically correct that congressman applies to both houses, it’s generally understood that if you’re referring to a member of the senate they’re referred to as a senator rather than as a congressman and that therefore if you say “congressman” you’re implicitly not referring to a member of the senate but a member of the house of representatives.
It is infuriating to see how many people think the legislative branch is divided into Senate and Congress. Or worse, how many people think the 3 branches of government are “the President, Congress, and Senate.”
Democratic Congressmen are all pussies. Have a spine. I know they won’t because they’re complicit.

“Congressman” is a generic term that covers people in both houses of Congress.
Huh, I usually call house of reps Congress members and refer to senators as senator.
Also since Schiff only recently ascended from the house of reps to the Senate, wanted to clarify his current role.

The Senate is also Congress…

That’s why Trump loves the poorly educated. America has the dumbest, least informed general public in any first world country, I really believe that.
He needs to retire.
