Raising A Question of the Privileges of the House

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, Republicans care more about personal vendettas and sucking up to Trump than about doing what is right for the country.

Adam Schiff has been an incredible Member of Congress. He exposed Trump's lies and corruption, impeached him, and got a bipartisan conviction vote in the Senate. He has passed real and consequential laws that solve real problems and help real people.

What has the sponsor of this censure done? What is Congresswoman Luna's record? I want her constituents to know in her congressional career, five of the six legislative items she has ever introduced are about Adam Schiff. Doesn't she have anything better to do--like, I don't know, help her district?

This is what is known as lunacy, and it is all about deflection, retaliation, and distraction from Trump's 37 felony charges.

The people who came up with the big lie want to censure Adam Schiff for telling the obvious truth, all so they can defend a three-time loser ex-President who has been indicted more times than he has been elected.

What an embarrassing day for this institution. What an insult to the American people. I urge a ``no'' vote, and I stand proudly with Congressman Schiff.
