House Dems Throw On-Floor 'Temper Tantrum' as Schiff Is Officially Censured

House Democrats voiced outrage Wednesday as Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff of California was censured by the House for making false claims about former President Donald Trump.
Censure is the highest level of disapproval of a member’s conduct short of expulsion.
The vote on the resolution, brought by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida, was 213-209, according to Axios.
The five GOP members of the House Ethics Committee, which under the resolution will now consider Schiff’s conduct, voted “present,” as did Republican Rep. Ken Buck of Colorado.
All House Democrats opposed censuring Schiff.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was able to read only part of the censure resolution aloud before Democratic heckling and shouting interrupted him to the point where he left the chamber, according to The Associated Press.
Greg Price of the State Freedom Caucus Network described the scene on Twitt er: “Democrats throw a 5 minute temper tantrum in the well of the House chamber as the vote to censure Adam Schiff passes, yelling ‘shame’ at Kevin McCarthy and refusing to allow him to finish reading the resolution.”
Spreading false accusations about POTUS is grounds enough for censure.
Given the events and circumstances surrounding Schitt's lies his actions warranted expulsion and prosecution.
