GOP seeks to remove Adam Schiff from Congress, calling him dishonorable.

Florida Republican Files Motion to Expel Adam Schiff from Congress

Background

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has filed a motion to expel Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) from Congress. This comes after the Durham Report cast doubt on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation into allegations of collusion between former President Donald Trump and the Russian government during the 2016 election. Schiff played a major role in the first impeachment of Trump and pushed allegations of Trump-Russia collusion for years.

Luna’s Tweet

Luna tweeted, “Schiff lied to the American people. He used his position on House Intel to push a lie that cost American taxpayers millions of dollars. He is a dishonor to the House of Representatives.”

Schiff’s Response

Schiff responded on Twitter, “BREAKING NEWS: A MAGA Republican Member of Congress just filed a motion to expel me from the U.S. House of Representatives. I stood up to Donald Trump and held extreme MAGA forces accountable. Now they want payback. They’ll go after anyone who defends the rule of law.”

Fundraiser for Schiff’s Senate Campaign

Schiff sent out a fundraiser due to the “attack on Adam.” The fundraiser reads, “Nobody stood up to Donald Trump and the extreme MAGA forces more than Adam did, and now MAGA Republicans want payback. As retribution for Adam’s leading the first impeachment of Trump and his prominent role on the January 6th Committee, House Republicans are trying to remove him from Congress altogether.”

Luna and Schiff’s Political Background

Luna was elected to Congress this year as the first Mexican-American woman chosen to represent Florida. She is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and the Congressional Second Amendment Caucus. Schiff is running to replace Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) in the Senate, going up against Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA).

Conclusion

The motion to expel Schiff from Congress has sparked controversy and fundraising efforts for his Senate campaign. It remains to be seen how this will play out in the coming weeks and months.
