These 20 House Republicans voted to block resolution to censure Adam Schiff
The Hill ^ | June 14, 2023 | Mychael Schnell

Twenty House Republicans joined Democrats on Wednesday in voting to table a resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), breaking from the majority of the GOP conference on a measure that was backed by leadership.

The House voted 225-196-7 to effectively kill the measure, which was spearheaded by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.). It called for censuring and condemning Schiff “for conduct that misleads the American people in a way that is not befitting an elected Member of the House of Representatives.”

It also would have directed the Ethics Committee to conduct an investigation into Schiff’s “lies, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information.”

Twenty Republicans voted with Democrats in favor of the motion to table: Reps. Kelly Armstrong (N.D.), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Ore.), Juan Ciscomani (Ariz.), Tom Cole (Okla.), Warren Davidson (Ohio), Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Kay Granger (Texas), Garret Graves (La.), Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.), Kevin Kiley (Calif.), Young Kim (Calif.), Mike Lawler (N.Y.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Tom McClintock (Calif.), Mark Molinaro (N.Y.), Jay Obernolte (Calif.), Mike Simpson (Ind.), Mike Turner (Ohio), David Valadao (Calif.) and Steve Womack (Ark.).

Schiff in comments after the vote said he was “frankly surprised.”

“And I think it showed a lot of courage for Republican members to stand up to the crazy MAGA folks,” he said.

“I’m astounded by the vote frankly, it was basically almost one of ten Republicans voted against this resolution,” Schiff later added, referring to the resolution to censure him.

Someone estimated that there are at least 100 Congressmen or women that are on the take from China or the left. It appears that some of them have been identified.

So? Do it anyway. Wave your white flag?

The censure resolution was political theater. Schiff deserved being expelled from Congress.

Not only have the FBI and CIA been weaponized by the RATS, our former two party system is now a uni-party.

I grew up in CA.
It was a decent state until we let Eastcoast
Democrats infest it and we locals all left.
SF is an example of your future, Democrats.
We won’t provide the resources for your Dystopia
and you can rot in it.

Speaker McCarthy is from California, as is Schiff. That one quarter of the censure opponents were from California may indicate intimidation or some quid pro quo, e.g., that the five traitors will not be seriously challenged by the Democrats next year.

I would like to know why these traitors voted to save the POS Schit
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Because they’re RINOs in the truest sense, members of the Uniparty Club, and so they despise President Trump and everyone who supports him.

You are not going to get anyone of note to challenge them in the primaries. That’s where it starts. McCarthy didn’t even get a token opponent where the voters could have put him on notice.

Think Thune-senate. The GOP had a challenger. Name is Whelan. All he ever did was lose the house race to Stephanie Herseth. A real stiff. Are we obligated to carry the bad candidates over the finish line? California Republicans might have been able to do that for Wm. Simon Jr. in 2002-a really bad candidate. Florida Democrats came close to doing that for that queer black Talahasse mayor. Reminds me of our victory at Midway. A Japanese submarine upped it’s periscope just a little too late to see the American fleet advancing. Could have changed the results of the entire war.

Did any of the tarnish side vote to apply the feathers to pencil neck??....
I didn’t think so.
The rino party has serious problem that rectification may not be so pleasant for the comfortable.

That’s the problem. The rat party has fallen so far to the left, that it’s dragging the Republican party with it. Might as well vote Democrat to pull things back to center. There’s no reason Schiff should not have been censured. He lied his ass off and brought false charges against the POTUS.
