00:00The House will be in order?
00:07That's what the House floor looked like after Republicans voted to censure Rep. Adam Schiff
00:12for misleading the American public during Congress' investigation into relations between
00:17former President Donald Trump and Russia.
00:19Schiff spoke before the final tally took place, condemning the measure, which includes the
00:23possibility of a $16 million fine.
00:26To Speaker McCarthy and others who wish to gratify Donald Trump with this act of subservience
00:32or bend to his demands, try as you might to expel me from Congress or silence me with
00:39a $16 million fine, you will not succeed.
00:43As Liz Cheney said, there will come a day when Donald Trump is gone, but your dishonor
00:49will remain.
00:50Censures in the House are rare, and there have only been two in the past three decades.
00:54They are not as serious as an expulsion, but are a way for the House to formally and
00:58publicly express disapproval.
01:00Those censured have to stand on the floor as their offenses are read aloud to the chamber.
01:05At this one, Speaker Kevin McCarthy was interrupted by protests from Democrats as he attempted
01:10to read the resolution.
01:12The House...
01:25I have all night.
