As Twitchy just reported, 20 spineless House Republicans joined Democrats in tabling Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff and fine him $16 million for basically being a lying weasel. We're honestly surprised; we thought this was a slam dunk, but no, the GOP decided to be "nice."
Schiff may be spiking the ball, but Luna says she's not done yet, and will be filing a privileged motion to send Schiff to ethics for investigation.
20 Republicans voted w/ Dems to stop the ethics investigation, censure, & fine of Adam Schiff.

So there is no confusion (as some did not accurately read the bill) I will be filing a privileged motion to censure & send Schiff to ethics for investigation.
See you next week Adam.
At least Luna has a spine.
Keep going. Schiff is a crook.

Drop the fine and censure him.

We find that acceptable.
Keep up the great work! Maybe someday the Republican Party will grow a spine.

You go, Congresswoman.

You are one of the very few fighting.
Impressed by you
A motion to censure without the fine sounds like a good move

I trust Massie almost completely and read your response to his tweet but I just dont know enough to pick a side!
Sad thing is, Democrats never hold back on "principle", whereas Team Red does.
We're guessing it would have passed without the fine.

Keep the pressure on. Those 20 Judas Republicans that’s voted against your bill shouldn’t have a job next term.

Censure?
— Truckster1 🇺🇸❌ (@truckster1) June 14, 2023
Expulsion is the only acceptable punishment!
Then, he should be indicted and prosecuted!
They're either traitors themselves as Schiff is or they're incompetent. Either way they're dangerous, the enemy and need replaced.

An ethics investigation followed by a fine seems to be the way to go. It's bad enough we can't indict Schiff let alone censure the guy.
