Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) had a plan to censure Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for his role in perpetuating the Russia hoax, which ended up costing U.S. taxpayers tens of millions of dollars, and almost irreparable damage to the country’s political system.
The move was supported by a large swathe of America First Republicans, though DeSantis supporters like Rep. Thomas Massie came out against it, on spurious terms.
Now, the full list of so-called Republicans who sided with Democrats and Adam Schiff can be revealed, perhaps demonstrating which so-called “conservatives” need primary challengers at their next election.
The list of Republicans in Name Only: Kelly Armstrong (R-ND).
Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R, OR-5).
Juan Ciscomani (R, AZ-6).
Tom Cole (R, OK-4).
Warren Davidson (R, OH-8).
Brian Fitzpatrick (R, PA-1).
Kay Granger (R, TX-12).
Garrett Graves (R, LA-6).
Thomas Kean (R, NJ-7).
Kevin Kiley (R, CA-3).
Young Kim (R, CA-40).
Mike Lawler (R, NY-17).
Thomas Massie (R, KY-4).
Tom McClintock (R, CA-5).
Marc Molinaro (R, NY-19).
Jay Obernolte (R, CA-23).
Mike Simpson (R, ID-2).
Michael Turner (R, OH-10).
David Valadao (R, CA-22).
Steve Womack (R, AR-3).
California Republicans are disproportionately represented in the list, raising questions as to whether their proximity to Schiff in his district (CA-30) affected their votes.
Rep. Luna said after the vote: “20 Republicans voted against the fine, censure, and investigation of Schiff. I don’t think they read the bill in entirety. Next week, we will be filing a motion to censure and investigate Schiff. We are removing fine as that seems to be what made these Republicans uneasy.”
Good
Do the democrats ever spit their power like this..like we seem to do ALL the time?
Split…not spit.
Wish I still had 30 and not 60 year old eyes sigh…
“We are removing fine as that seems to be what made these Republicans uneasy.”
I wonder if the huge fine was thrown in the censure bill as a poison pill. That is a soo very Uni-party thing to do.
Got some 'splaimin' to do when n Old Kim gets home ...
Aren’t you being a little over-the-top? Perhaps short-sighted? Thomas Massie, for example, is not a “RINO.” The censure is appropriate, but a $16 million dollar fine? If the Republicans did that, the Democrats would do the same thing to certain Republicans when they next control the House.
Understand - Schiff was top dog in intel.
He HAS the dirt on every politician in DC and beyond.
Thanks for the blackmail with a wink and a nod.
Two Republicans “Present:”
Darrell Issa, California (CA).
George Santos, New York (NY).
Three Republicans “Not Voting:”
Neal P. Dunn, Florida (FL)
Tony Gonzales, Texas (TX)
Patrick T. McHenry, North Carolina (NC).

RINO’s, on the other hand, LOVE publicly bashing one another, over any and every little thing.
Can't stop embarrassing himself.
This posing RINO needs to be primaried.
If we can't find a suitable candidate soon, I may have to run myself.
Agreed. Where is the authority for that in the Constitution. If arguendo we have rule of law then Schiff gets his day in court under due process. /suspension of disbelief
McCarthy SET this defeat up .
Old Kevin allowed this Vote to defeat this measure on purpose .
The Uniparty wins again .
Trump Boy strikes again .
That's a deliberate "poison pill" ...
Might as well include tar and feathers. Schiff deserves it, but it's simply not going to happen.
Removing the fine?????
He should be JAILED
I hope that none of these twenty RINOscum chair any House committees or subcommittees.
He should be a one-time rope tester.
That is shocking, surprising, and so utterly disappointing. ID-2 captures Boise, Blaine County and Twin Falls, three of the four liberal hotbeds in Idaho (the other is Moscow up north which is in ID-1; we are in ID-1).
Yeah. Remove the fine, remove an excuse.
