A group of six Republicans remained neutral as the rest of their party in the House successfully voted to censure RepAdamSchiff on Wednesday night. Here are the conservative lawmakers, most of whom are on the House Ethics Committee, who voted 'present.'
Six Republicans decided to vote"present" instead of voting with their party to censure Schiff for allegations that he abused the trust of his constituents by pushing the theory that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016 election. It was the second time House Republicans attempted to censure Schiff.
A censure vote does not remove a lawmaker from office, nor does it hold any real punishment. Rather, the move is a symbolic vote to express dissatisfaction toward a lawmaker over their voting record or personal conduct. However, the move could come back to haunt Schiff as he runs to replace the retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein in the Senate.
