NEW: In a rare move, the House has voted to censure California Rep. Adam Schiff.
Rep. Adam Schiff speaks on the house floor during a debate over his censure, June 21, 2023.The House passed a censure resolution against Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., -- a move inflaming rhetoric on both sides of the aisle.
Luna said "run[ning] away from this opportunity to hold this man accountable" would "betray the people who trusted us and sent us here [to Congress] to do the right thing." But Schiff shot back that what he called the "false and defamatory resolution" amounted to "petty political payback" in an effort to "censure or fine Trump's opposition into submission."The California Democrat turned the tables on Republicans, arguing they were the ones who deserved to be censured.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries denounced what he called a "fake, phony and fraudulent" censure resolution, arguing the rebuke was borne out of Republicans' lack of policy vision. "The other side has turned this chamber ... into a puppet show. And you know what? The puppeteer, Donald Trump, is shining a light on the strings. You look miserable. You look miserable," she said, addressing Republicans.
