How is Adam Schiff taking this censure?

[mahina]

I saw Democratic house, members chanting “ shame” and “disgrace”. I’m thankful they stood up for him.

For the record, he did nothing to be ashamed of, but instead executed his duties with great honor and intelligence.

[Recycle_Guru]

1. probably laughing as it raises his profile ahead of a California US Senate primary

[edbermac]

2. He called it a badge of honor.

And it is!

[Quakerfriend]

3. Didn't this just fail last week?? N/T

[Brother Buzz]

4. The illegal monetary fine was stripped then resubmitted

[AZSkiffyGeek]

6. They stripped out the $16M fine

[rurallib]

7. Yes, because there was a $16 million fine attached to it

That was too much even for a few scurrilous repugnants.

The fine was removed and led to apparently a party line vote

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I Think It Was $16 Thousand

Not $16 million.
Could have be 16 cents and still been ridiculous.

[Celerity]

18. no, it was 16 million usd

The resolution to censure Schiff was introduced last week by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, an ardent Trump supporter. But it faced opposition from some members of her own party because it originally included a potential $16 million fine, which they deemed to be unconstitutional.

[Cadfael]

20. No, it actually was 16 million

Unless The NY Times and CNN and the Washington Post all have it wrong…

from the NYT: “ Ms. Luna’s initial effort to punish Mr. Schiff failed last week, when the House voted 225 to 196 to table, or kill, her first resolution. Her original effort called for an ethics investigation into Mr. Schiff and a $16 million fine if he was found to have lied.”

[SCantiGOP]

24. It was $16 million

Somehow crazy Luna lady said his Trump-Russia probe had cost $32 million, so the figure was to reclaim half of it.

[Joinfortmill]

5. Hope he gets a ton of donations.

[sheshe2]

8. He laughed.

Saw it as a badge of honor. Some are saying that they just handed him his Senate seat.

[mucifer]

9. Watch his EF you republicans speech from today :

[MyOwnPeace]

12. A fantastic response from the man......

that should be a 'Top Dog' in the Democratic party for the future.

Senator? President?

He's got MY vote!

[NBachers]

36. Representative Adam Schiff has my vote and my contributions.

[Effete Snob]

10. Proudly

[Autumn]

11. I hope he is as proud as I am. I consider it an honor that they censured him.

[haele]

14. What was he censured for?

Honestly, I have no idea what they could censure him for saying bad words and calling Republicans out?

Haele

[Marius25]

16. Investigating Trump over Russia and January 6th

[Catherine Vincent]

38. That's so dumb

These republicans will do anything to appease Criminal Trump.

Use your own email address for a reply, or [e-mail] (throw-away email at https://getnada.com)

[SCantiGOP]

25. Not sure the bogus email is a good idea

Congressmen have limited staff, and they prioritize constituent emails. That is why most offices, for both parties, now require an in-district address to get through.
These emails would clog their system and interfere with constituent emails.
Maybe use the phone number instead and leave a
Message.

[usonian]

30. Noted. I don't use "social media" other than DU.

Open to suggestions.
Thanks

[malaise]

17. He'll be on M$NBComcast in a few n/t

[mcar]

19. Methinks he just got elected senator

And he knows it. He's been all over MSNBC tonight. And good for him.

[calimary]

37. He'd be terrific in the Senate!

I’ve been a fan for a long time!

[DinahMoeHum]

21. Methinks he says: Neah neah-neah neah neah booga booga booga

or words to that effect.

[marble falls]

22. He's preparing some dishes of that which is best served cold and I just can't wait ...

... the GOP thought he was dangerous and they could drop him a notch, they will be sadly disabused of the notion. I'm keeping some popcorn on standby.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. fundraising for sure

[Initech]

26. This is the absolute worst House Of Representatives in history

Fuck the MAGA shitheads.

[Elessar Zappa]

27. I don't know about that.

In the 1850s Congressmen drank in the chambers, had fist fights, canings, duels, etc.

[Initech]

29. We're pretty much an election away from Congress turning into the House Of Representin'.

28. Rep. Adam Schiff Speech on House Floor in Response to MAGA-Backed Censure - Rep. Adam Schiff

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017838855

Wednesday, June 21, 2023, Congressman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, responding to the resolution introduced by Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and backed by MAGA Republicans to censure him in an effort to silence and intimidate him for holding Donald Trump and his allies accountable.

[Music Man]

31. He seems to be keeping his head up.

I find it incredibly depressing. How can one censure Adam Schiff but not the lawmakers who tried to overthrow the government on Jan. 6? Shame, indeed.

[Rhiannon12866]

32. More from his speech from Twitter:

Link to tweet

[RandySF]

33. Probably raising money with it.

[Initech]

34. This House is overrun with MAGA conspiracy theorist lunatics.

They're a clear and present danger to this country. We need to get every single one of their sorry asses out of Congress, arrest them, and arrest those who made it happen.

[Hugin]

35. Wait, what?

Adam Schiff was censured? What for, because it's Wednesday?

[moondust]

39. Like the child's play it is?
