Need to let his little Governor candidate know that he is done as well.

Lost all respect for Graves now. Definitely all in on Jeff Landry. Probably just won him the election with this move.

It’s not even a slap on the wrist. It’s literally just a piece of paper. It has no impact whatsoever on the person being censured.


Wrong. Schiff wasn’t happy about it happening, including most Dems, so that’s good enough for me. He lied on television multiple times and should be held accountable. Republicans can then bring it up later in speeches over and over and ask when he will pay the 16 million dollar fine back to the taxpayers.

The real question is why a new backbencher had to try to take the lead on this. I guess the leadership is just doh-dey-dohing it, we can't do nuttin.

The real reason they are not pushing to do anything is because most of them wanted Trump to be harassed.

Did you celebrate the “meaningless” impeachments of Trump?

Schiff played a major part in prolonging the whole Russia scam, and hurt this country in doing so.

Censuring actually isn’t strong enough punishment.

I heard that it was back on the table for discussion next week. Maybe the 20 RINOS will change their position after getting an earful from their constituents. Does it require a unanimous vote?

I really liked Graves, even with his Jindal ties. He was the one voice standing up for those that flooded in 2016 and lost everything. He will never get another vote from me again. Adam Schiff is a vile human being. Graves will forever be tied to him in my eyes. So disappointed.

Are we going to fine members $16 million every time they say something we don’t like?

Uh, Schiff did a bit more than that.

He straight up lied about having intelligence that the sitting President was compromised by Russia.

He never had that intel.

Whatever information he did have was part of an illegal scheme to spy on the President and manufacture false "evidence" against him.

There should be a strong response to that sort of unconscionable behavior.

And this week there are members saying there’s a recording of Biden agreeing to take bribes that in all likelihood does not exist. Are we going to be fining all members that rolled with that millions of dollars?

Its not the fact that he stated a opinion that was incorrect Decatur. He strait up lied ON PURPOSE. He said he had the smoking gun that would prove Trump was in bed with Putin. He knew this was a lie. It was all fabricated by the Dems and he was part of it. He should be tried for treason. He is evil.

So the DU and fake media has issued this talking point to all of their minions I see. There is video of Biden bragging about it. Keep lapping up the BS. You cannot be helped.

I woke up still pissed off as fricking hell about this. I mean, seriously. Read the fricking room. Did Garret, at any point in his goofball, good-old-down-to-earth House tenure think that THIS is how his constituents would want him to vote?!

We're always getting slapped around in the mouth by democrats because they're fricking ruthless. I'm gonna be honest here, I'm downright jealous that they're a party who can unite like no other when it comes to getting what they want. They don't like Trump? Impeach him twice. They don't like Tucker? Schumer goes on the floor of the Senate and makes Fox crumble like little bitches. We always just take it. That weasel Cassidy CLEARLY decides to just vote however his dipshit arse wants to instead of how he KNOWS his constituents want him to vote and meh - no consequence. 'I'll do whatever I want and there's nobody to stop me so there'.

But here's a chance to FINALLY hit back and what do we do? We sidestep it. We get out of the way. We wouldn't want to EVER have the balls to maybe swing back one time?!

It's an absolute calamity. These people are not in it for their voters, their districts. They're only in it for themselves. When's the last time you think a DEMOCRAT had to write a letter to their rep/senator? When's the last time they didn't feel represented?!

Oh but we don't do that. Ohhhh - we have the moral highground.

I hope this story grows legs and stays at the top of Twitter trends. These guys deserve the heat. I'd hope it would make them finally come to their senses but I won't hold my breath. That cushy lobby job is waiting for Garret so he can send his kids to Georgetown or Columbia while they live in some awesome brownstone near Capitol Hill and leave Baton Rouge in the dust.

We need your help Garret. And you leave us in the lurch.

Here's his weak arse response as why he voted against censure and fines.

Cliffnotes: "I voted to remove him from the intelligence community, but the Schiff wasn't investigated enough to justify the bill" - no due process - unconstitutional.

Looks like crawfishing to me
