Rep. Adam Schiff of California was censured today in the US House of Representatives. The censure comes after pressure from GOP congressmen over Schiff's spreading of the Russia collussion hoax in 2016 and onward.
The vote broke down along party lines, with 212 Republicans in favor and 208 Democrats opposed. Four members of the GOP simply voted "present."
Schiff was adamant that President Donald Trump had colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 presidential contest, but it later turned out that not only was the entire plot hatched by the Hillary Clinton campaign and their opposition research contractors, but that the FBI knew about that and didn't tell the agents who were working the case.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna spoke on the House floor on Wednesday bringing the motion to censure.
"As chair of the House Intelligence Committee," she said, "Adam Schiff launched an all out political campaign built on baseless distortions against the US President at the expense of every single citizen in this country, and the honor of the House of Representatives.
