Rep. Adam B. Schiff was censured Wednesday by House Republicans over his false allegations about President Trump’s supposed collusion with Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

The motion passed along party lines 213-209, with 6 lawmakers voting present as Democrats chanted “shame” and “disgrace” as the clerk read the final votes.

Mr. Schiff told reporters he was flattered that he could be considered so effective that Republicans felt the need to censure him. “It’s a badge of honor. And I’m proud to have stood up to Trump and defended our democracy, and I will continue to do so no matter what they throw my way,” Mr. Schiff told reporters. “But these are the authors of the big lie attacking you for telling the truth and history.”

The California lawmaker stood in the well of the chamber flanked by his fellow Democrats who cheered him on, chanting “Adam! Adam!” as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy read the censure resolution aloud.
