Democratic U.S. representative Adam Schiff Friday called out Donald Trump for failing to fulfill his first-term promises, calling the ex-president a "grifter" on Real Time with Bill Maher.
Schiff appeared alongside Seth MacFarlane on Maher's show, making the case for Joe Biden's presidency and reminding viewers that the former president once paid hush money to a porn star.
Maher raised the point that Trump was running on an immigration platform, despite failing to build a wall his first time around in office. He mentioned that Trump is killing a bipartisan border deal because he wants the issue for himself.

"It's amazing that he wants it as an issue because he's the one who said, 'I'll build the wall' and then didn't," Maher said. "And now he's running on, 'I'm going to do what I didn't do before.'"
Maher added, "That's a politician."
Schiff quickly countered, "That's not a politician - that's a grifter in Donald Trump."
Schiff also took his criticisms a step further, calling the ex-president's vow to have Mexico build the wall "an absurd promise."
