Chris Cuomo says lawmakers 'should be fined' if they lie

Cuomo broke the news of Rep. Adam Schiff's censure Wednesday night and pointed to a last-minute amendment to the bill, which ultimately passed on party lines. Before the amendment, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna had included in the bill that members of the House would be fined for further lying to the public. Schiff was censured because he promoted the theory that former President Donald Trump and his 2016 campaign colluded with Russia to win the White House.

Some roughly 20 Republicans were against the provision about lying fines, according to Cuomo. Once the amendment was made, all but six Republicans voted to censure Schiff, with Reps. Ken Buck , Michael Guest , Dave Joyce , John Rutherford , and Andrew Garbarino voting"present." “[This is] what I didn’t like about the Republicans who moved over their vote to censure Schiff. You want to censure him, go ahead. Nobody cares anymore, anyway — you should! But they only switched their votes once they removed the fine provision," Cuomo said,"because they wanted to fine Schiff if they could find out he had lied about advancing the Russia probe."

Cuomo claimed the fine provision was the only thing he liked about the bill and wished it had remained.The Wednesday vote was the 25th time in the House's history that it censured a member and the second attempt to censure Schiff personally.
