One-hundred and eighty-fo ur House Republicans have moved to back a resolution to condemn House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for deliberately fabricating a conversation between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Over 184 House Republicans, or 93 percent, have cosponsored House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs’ (R-AZ) H. Res. 604, according to a list obtained by Breitbart News. H. Res. 604 would condemn Schiff for reading a fictional phone call between Zelensky and Trump into the record.
Schiff also allegedly lied about having never spoken to the Ukrainian intelligence officer “whistleblower.”
Rep. Biggs wanted to force a vote on the legislation this week but delayed the move after House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings (D-MD) passed away. The Arizona conservative will reportedly force the vote Monday night.
The legislation to condemn Rep. Schiff has quickly gained support from House GOP across the political spectrum. House Freedom Caucus conservatives, moderates, and House Republican leadership have all cosponsored the legislation.
Since Biggs introduced the legislation in late September, the bill quickly gained 18 cosponsors. Now, the bill features support from 93 percent of the House Republican Conference.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), and House Republican Conference chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) have sponsored the resolution to condemn Schiff.

Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA), a sponsor of the bill, said Monday that the vote tonight will censure the “shifty and dishonest” Rep. Schiff.
Hice added, “Censure shows the House’s deep disapproval of a Member’s behavior and, if passed, he must stand in the well while @SpeakerPelosi formally rebukes his lies, corruption, and misconduct.”
Big vote tonight as the House finally votes on censuring the shifty & dishonest @RepAdamSchiff.
Censure shows the House’s deep disapproval of a Member's behavior and, if passed, he must stand in the well while @SpeakerPelosiformally rebukes his lies, corruption, and misconduct.
