Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), the sponsor of the resolution, and other conservatives tried to advance a similar censure measure last week, but 20 Republicans — objecting to language that could have resulted in a $16 million fine for Schiff, unless he resigned from Congress — joined most Democrats to sink it before it came up for a full House vote. Luna removed that provision to allay their concerns.
This is the bullshit that angers me most about the GOP. A good number of them run on platforms of economic growth and small government. Then they get into power by nearly the slimmest majority possible and then unilaterally vote to do stupid shit like this. You would think that a handful of them could play the adult in the room, but that’s not the case. The party is completely controlled by their most extreme members. No choice but to burn the whole party down and start over.
