Six Republicans parted ways with the rest of the party by voting “present” instead of voting in favor of censure of Democratic California Rep. Adam Schiff.
Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna introduced a resolution to remove Schiff from the US House of Representatives.
The Daily Caller was the first to obtain a copy of the original resolution, in which female MPs cite the Durham report as the reason why they think Schiff should no longer be in office. (Related: Exclusive: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Submits Resolution to Remove Adam Schiff from House)
The six Republicans are:
- Rep. David Joyce (Republican-Ohio)
- Congressman Michael Guest (Republican-Mississippi)
- Congressman Andrew Galbarino (Republican-New York)
- Congressman Ken Buck (Republican-Colorado)
- Congressman John Rutherford (Republican-Florida)
- Congressman Michelle Fischbach (Republican-Minnesota)
“Adam Schiff lied to the American people. He is a disgrace to the House of Commons,” Paulina Luna said in a statement.
“The Durham report makes clear that the Russian collusion was a lie from day one and that Schiff deliberately used his position to divide our country,” she added. (Related: Exclusive: Matt Gates Introduces ‘Pencil Law’ to Prevent Adam Schiff from Viewing Confidential Information)
Kevin McCarthy, as Speaker of the House, blocked Adam Schiff from attending the House Intelligence Committee. Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gates also introduced a bill asking the House to vote on whether Schiff should be barred from accessing or viewing any classified information.
