House Republicans on Monday pushed for a vote to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee leading the Democrats' impeachment probe of President Donald Trump, but Democrats successfully tabled the motion in a 218-185 party line vote.
"It will be said of House Republicans," Schiff tweeted shortly after the vote was tabled,"When they found they lacked the courage to confront the most dangerous and unethical president in American history, They consoled themselves by attacking those who did.
"I hear what you want," Schiff continued as he gave his version of the call."I have a favor I want from you, though, and I'm gonna say this only seven times, so you better listen good. I want you to make up dirt on my political opponent, understand? Lots of it -- on this and on that." The resolution also seeks to condemn Schiff for claiming the whistleblower had no contact with the House Intelligence Committee prior to filing the complaint.
On Oct. 4, after this news came to light, a Washington Post fact-check gave Schiff four Pinocchios for making false statements. A committee representative told the Post that Schiff"acknowledges that his statement should have been more carefully phrased to make that distinction clear.""I should have been much more clear, and I said so the minute it was brought to my attention," Schiff told CBS anchor Margaret Brennan.
Censure Corrupt Adam Schiff! After what he got caught doing, any pol who does not so vote cannot be honest....are you listening Dems?
Hope he gets run over by a bus.
They are terrified of him.
Down with Adam! Don’t investigate Lev and Trump fixer! No conflict of interest if lawyer take Lev dirty money and work for Trumpy too! Hold G7 in Trump Hotel in Istanbul!
Adam, you hang in there !! We support you 1000%. You will become the most important person in this ImpeachTreasonousCorruptTrumpTraitorPenceNOW. Please stay strong and if I can help, please let me know !! ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW
He is a very sick man. Scary things are being allowed to be done to this president. Sets the bar to how the next president will be treated.
GOP obstruction of an impeachment inquiry attempts. Sounds like grounds for GOP congressmen impeachment.
Adam Schiff has been lying to the American public for over three years now he’s holding secret impeachment hearings so the public can’t see.. why is this not out in the open if there’s so much evidence why is it behind closed doors so Adam Schiff doesn’t look like a fool
So made up lies read before a national audience are not just “comments” ? No lib bias in your org...🙄
Well, elections have consequences, we know that. Only thing is the other party does not understand that simple fact--they have been trying (desperately) to undo the result of 2016.

Partisan politics as usual and wasting tax dollars until the next paid vacation/recess/election smear. Where's the beef for the 'secret back room' IMPEACHMENT BURGER'?
Newsflash. There is no probe. They haven’t formally voted on an Impeachment probe
This is sad when our system is so corrupt that our news outlets use the word success when refusing to hold each other accountable.
I wonder if 218 to 185 will be the impeachment vote or if some Republicans will stray from the herd
They need to go after him and expose him anyway.
100% of Dem representatives in the People's House say they're ok with AdamSchiff making up the content of POTUS's phone calls w/foreign leaders on the House floor. He was only caught bc WH released the transcript. Disgraceful! Dems must be voted out in 2020.
Democrats Successfully make it so we can’t believe any testimony given in the House because the Truth is no longer require to be spoken.
I'm a Dem and I believe Schiff should be replaced because of his lies. He is not believable.
Wow
Why don’t they censure the president for being a criminal
Republicans: if you want your party back, dump Trump
They are trying to distract from what needs to happen. They are unfortunately, learning from the moron in the white house. The art of distraction.
realDonaldTrump you lose
impeachthepeach
Schiff needs to be arrested
Schiff is an American Patriot!
Placed in the Round File
Democrats are anti-America commies
You mean, all TheDemocrats are liars just like, at least covering up for, liar RepAdamSchiff Stop PinocchioHead and his gang SpeakerPelosi RealSaavedra washingtonpost SebGorka seanhannity
Good
That will keep the DemocRATS to continue to investigate for a crime behind closed doors.
Hey the Republicans did as the President asked them to do. Right? He asked the impossible,but they tried.
Good Idea Censure 🕴️Now✌
This is a joke! Jim Jordan, Kevin McCarthy, Nunes, pretty much, majority of Republicans in the House should be censured for false accusations against Hillary Clinton. But, in fairness to republicans, they have the balls. When they want to do something, they’ll do it.
jarrodwoloslpc Outstanding, now we can get back to impeachment. Supertrampy wants republicans to get tough. Just ask weak Moscow Mitch senatemajldr and GOPLeader on how weak they are. Lol, well they tried and got tired of the liar in chief and grew weaker
Party loyalty will destroy us if we let it
What? They can’t censor a House Rep who is working for us. We, the people, need to hear what he says.
TreacherousTrump Treasoninplainsight ImpeachNow
Of course they did because schiff hasn’t done anything wrong
Ahhhhh... some ridiculous far fetched trump a** kissing effort didn't work? Or did it, I am sure the emperor was happy! POTUS and GOPLeader idiots of a feather?!?!?!
Well at least we now know what those in Congress who choose Democrat lifestyle are not willing to vote for Impeachment Gee guess all that abandoning of realDonaldTrump by Republicans is MORE FakeNews. MAGA2020
Sickening!
To those who say why bother with impeachment since the house is just going to not remove him anyway... this is why it matters. If nothing else you learn who is and is not a traitor. Republicans should be absolutely ashamed of themselves but they won't be. Sociopaths have no shame
Hahaha
FredoTrump realDonaldTrump must be held accountable for his lies. GOP must move to censure & condemn TrumpIsADisgrace for deliberately misleading American people. Trump’s Shady Record: - Colluding with Russians - Fabricated call transcript - Secret dealings w/Dictators
“Spineless” Francis Rooney
Of coarse they tabled it. Mr. Schiff is innocent of what Donald Trump says he is. He’s just another way to address attention away from himself. He needs to be impeached NOW!
GOP is grasping at straws because they want to punish someone. In this case, it can be ANYONE.
George kent said the EU and IMF didnt especially want shokin fired but were being deferential to the US. Shokin was investigating burisma.
Democrats are now on record condoning Adam Schiff's attempt to frame an innocent man.
Optics-with a mix of mud slinging to confuse
Mulvaney 'we do it all the time'. Why are we so fixated on this one instance, maybe we should look for others. He said this is normal behavior.
Thank you Lord
for crying out loud all the crap trump says and they try this what the hell is wrong with the republican party my god they are going down hill fast
Democrats circle the wagons around their most prolific liar. Shiff manufactured evidence and lied about contact with the whistleblower. He should be ejected from congress.
Maybe they can censure him in january 2021 when the republicans win back the house in november 2020.
Trump daring Democrats to vote to impeach him
I think GOP interference should be an automatic sign of guilt.
PUT SHIFF IN GITMO! realDonaldTrump
Democrats haven’t done anything successful except obstruction
You had to be a complete idiot to think Schiff was going to get censured.
