Why was Rep. Adam Schiff censured? Because as stevebenen writes, the Democrat had the audacity to tell Republicans inconvenient truths the party didn't want to hear.
It was just last week when the Republican-led House took up a ridiculous resolution. Hoping to punish Rep. Adam Schiff, the GOP considered a measure that would’ve censured the California Democrat, directed the House Ethics Committee to open an investigation into his work on the Russia scandal, and impose a $16 million fine on the congressman.: 20 Republicans joined with Democrats to reject the nonsensical resolution. It was obviously time for lawmakers to move on to other priorities.
And so she did. This time, a revised version of the resolution — the provision related to a $16 million fine was removed — actually passed. NBC NewsThe House took the rare step Wednesday of censuring one of its own members, Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, over his criticisms of then-President Donald Trump and his role in leading the first impeachment inquiry into the former president., and while not every member participated in the vote, literally zero Republicans opposed the measure.
Politico, for example, that she was going after Schiff “at the suggestion” of a member of leadership.
