In a significant House vote, twenty Republicans joined the majority of Democrats to effectively kill a resolution to censure Rep. Adam Schiff. The resolution, introduced by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), centered on Schiff's assertions regarding former President Trump's alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 election. The 225-196 vote, with two additional Republicans voting “present” and five Democrats joining them, effectively tables the measure.

The twenty Republicans who voted against the censure resolution represent a diverse cross-section of the party. They include Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY), Kelly Armstrong (R-ND), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-OR), Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Tom Cole (R-OK), Warren Davidson (R-OH), Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Kay Granger (R-TX), Garret Graves (R-LA), Thomas Kean (R-NJ), Kevin Kiley (R-CA), Young Kim (R-CA), Michael Lawler (R-NY), Tom McClintock (R-CA), Marcus Molinaro (R-NY), Jay Obernolte (R-CA), Michael Simpson (R-ID), Michael Turner (R-OH), David Valadao (R-CA), and Steve Womack (R-AR).

Rep. Massie publicly stated his opposition to the proposed $16 million fine against Schiff, citing constitutional concerns related to the 27th and 8th amendments. While acknowledging Schiff's conduct as unethical, Massie expressed his intention to vote against any resolution imposing such a fine.

The future of potential actions against Schiff remains uncertain. It is unclear whether House Republicans will revisit the issue with a revised resolution that omits the fine.
