Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democratic representative, was censured in the US House of Representatives yesterday. Chaos ensued after the voting results of 213-209, with Republicans in favor and Democrats against. While six votes are included from the GOP lawmakers.

The case in question dates back to 2016, during the investigations of then-president Donald Trump. The focus was on the Russian interference in the previous elections, alleging that they aided Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Schiff was the intel committee chair, who issued several statements during the investigations. However, these comments were proven to be doctored to suit the narrative. Consequently, the Republican representatives initiated a censure against the Democratic representative: “Misleading the American public and for conduct unbecoming of an elected Member of the House of Representatives.”

Adam Schiff abused his position as Chair of Intel to lie and lead America through a national nightmare with the fake Russia collusion narrative.

As Speaker, I removed him from the Intel Committee, and now the full House will vote to censure him and open an ethics investigation.

These are the allegations against Sciff to proceed with his censure hearingโ€“

  • Falsely claimed evidence of collusion.
  • Fabricated the transcript during a committee hearing.
  • He was dishonest about his dealings with a whistleblower.
  • Mischaracterized official documents.

He stands on the “well of the house,” where he is officially pronounced censured.

Rep. Adam Schiff released his statement after he was censured in the House of Representatives.

Tonight I was censured by Republicans in the House.

Hereโ€™s what that was like and what that means for me, the Congress, and our democracy. pic.twitter.com/6WTPhvA9r7

He also mentioned what fellow D-Calif representative, Nancy Pelosi, spoke on his behalfโ€“

“Today we are on the floor of the House, where the other side has turned this chamberโ€”where slavery was abolished, where Medicare and Social Security were institutedโ€”they’ve turned it into a puppet show. And the puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shining a light on the strings. The only advantage to all of this, is that instead of reversing what we did on the IRA to save the planet or reversing what we did to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, you’re wasting time.”

While the Republicans chanted “Shame” for Schiff, he received strong support from the Democrats.

The GQP would rather censure Adam Schiff than George Santos who lied about every damn thing from his resume to his religion.
This tells you everything you need to know about today's Republican party.
And this is after Schiff eviscerated John Durham.

But what does this verdict mean for the Democratic Representative?

What Does It Mean to Censure a Congressman?

What Does It Mean to Censure a Congressman

Basic definition: Censure is the formal statement of disproval, decided by the majority vote.

There are two main implications of these votesโ€“

  • Each House of Congress has the authority for the proceedings to punish the representative for disorderly behavior.
  • If the concurrence of these votes is 2/3rd, the member will be expelled.

Simply put, the word censure in a political context means condemnation or denouncement.

The president and the CEO of the Congressional Management Foundation, Brad Fitch, saidโ€“,

“Censure is the first level of punishment that carries actual consequences for the members beyond a public embarrassment or a public reprimation. Censure has teeth.”

So basically, it is a form of public rebuke.

Difference Between Censure and No-Confidence

Censure is deep disapproval and condemnation of the member’s actions. There are no other significant repercussions from this decision, except that the member can lose their authority, diluting their power in Washington.

No-Confidence motion has more serious implications, resulting in the removal of representatives entirely. The worst case is impeachment.

Bending disgracefully to the will of Donald Trump, Republicans today revived their absurd effort to censure @RepAdamSchiff. What can you say about a party that embraces the Big Lie, insurrection and George Santos but wants to censure Adam Schiff? pic.twitter.com/YdfNusR4tb

— Rep. Jamie Raskin (@RepRaskin) June 21, 2023

Republicans will NOT censure

Gaetz for sex trafficking

Greene for inciting a violent insurrection

Boebert for giving surveillance tours to J6 thugs

George Santos for lying about everything

But they will censure Adam Schiff for exposing Trumpโ€™s ties to Daddy Putin?

Got it ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

You canโ€™t fix America when Democrats cheer for Adam Schiff after being censured for abusing his power and lying to Americans about Russia for years or Hunter Biden getting away with a misdemeanor when comparable cases have resulted in years of incarceration for other Americans.

— Kim Dotcom (@KimDotcom) June 22, 2023

๐Ÿšจ The House has censured pathological liar, Russia Hoaxer & all-around POS Adam Schiff.

Next up: an ethics investigation.

This had better be a real investigation. No โ€œaccountability Kabuki theaterโ€.

ACTUAL consequences for his destructive lies. pic.twitter.com/wRWcC92peZ
