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.”
Yeah but God has the dirt on schiff.
This is where he's got it all wrong. Don't fight the stupid fine in a court battle (which I think he ought to lose anyway). Fight back by doing the same thing -- with even more money at stack -- to the @ssholes on the other side of the aisle.
‘bout time !
Yep, fire with fire
No kidding
They can simply claw the money back from his office and staff budget over time.
Let the flaming @sshole work out of his car in the House parking lot, and let his garage at home be his district office.
But that was not Massie’s excuse.
He said it was unconstitutional.
He is not a Constitutional Lawyer or a member of the Court.
He is a CongressCritter.
Courts decide what is constitutional or what is not.
Not Massie.
Every one of these traitorous scumbags need to be removed from office.
His blatant lies should get him kicked out of Congress, but let's begin with censure at a minimum with the GOP cast of clowns.
Kay Granger is long time well known RINO and Kay Bailey Hutchinson mini-me so no surprise there.
David Valadao is impeachment traitor so obviously no surprise there.
Darrel Issa is long time deep stater so no surprise there.
George Santos is just trying to avoid prison at this point so cannot be trusted on anything.
The surprises, however, are McClintock and Massey. Would like to know who’s funding them…
Just speculatin’ but... Maybe the GOPe not censoring Sh*tty Schiff is a way of protecting George Santos, their majority is pretty thin.
They don’t want to set a precedent when they know they are just as dishonest as Schiff-For-Brains.
Santos is a one termer, he voted present knowing he’s next.
Schiff can sleep in a dirty blanket on top of a Metrorail ventilation grate, for all I care. He deserves it, but it’s not going to happen.
$16million fine is a deliberate poison pill.
And “yes”, if I were representing WV in the HoR, I’d vote AYE on the sanction including the fine.
Congressmen and Senators can, should, and have considered what is constitutional and what is not when voting on a bill.
Presidents can, should, and have considered what is constitutional and what is not when signing or vetoing a bill.
The judgment of what is and what is not constitutional is not exclusive to the courts.
WTF?!!! What does the Derp State have on HIM?
Like father, like son.
