Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., has been at the center of every left-wing hoax orchestrated against former President Donald Trump since 2016. From the trumped-up claims of Russian collusion to a fabricated scandal over military aid in Ukraine to the conspiracies surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot as a desperate effort to impeach, Schiff has been the primary conductor.
So on Wednesday, hours after John Durham detailed the special counsel’s findings in the Russia hoax investigation before the House Judiciary Committee, the lower chamber formally censured Schiff, who is presently seeking a seat in the Senate. The resolution passed 213-209, with all Republicans voting in favor except for six who voted “present.”
Democrats erupted in the well of the House, chanting “shame” and “disgrace” as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy slammed the gavel upon the vote. The resolution forced Schiff to stand before lawmakers embarrassingly and requires the House Ethics Committee to probe the congressman’s “falsehoods, misrepresentations, and abuses of sensitive information.” Schiff, however, went on to shamelessly celebrate the resolution on the House floor.
“To my Republican colleagues who introduced this resolution, I thank you,” he said ahead of the Wednesday night vote. “Your words tell me that I have been effective in the defense of our democracy, and I am grateful.”
Democrats throw a 5 minute temper tantrum in the well of the House chamber as the vote to censure Adam Schiff passes, yelling “shame” at Kevin McCarthy and refusing to allow him to finish
