Adam Schiff says The View viewers donated to his campaign after House censure.
Rep. Adam Schiff Reacts to Republican House Colleagues Voting to Censure Him
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) appeared on The View to share his thoughts on his Republican House colleagues voting to censure him over his past support of the theory that former President Donald Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential election.
“I think people have responded,” said Schiff, who is currently running for Senate in California. “A lot have gone to adamschiff.com and helped my campaign, and I’m grateful to them.”

The Washington Examiner reached out to Schiff’s campaign to inquire about the amount raised after the censure.
The censure vote in the House of Representatives resulted in a 213-209 outcome. The motion was initiated by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who filed a privileged motion on Tuesday to expedite the vote. To secure enough votes, the Republican had to remove bill language that imposed a $16 million fine against Schiff.
According to Schiff, “They go after people they think are standing up to them, and more importantly, that are standing up to their master, Donald Trump.”
“They don’t bother with people they don’t think are a threat to their effort to essentially move the country in this authoritarian direction,” he added.
Schiff expressed his concern, stating, “I think they hope that they can silence others, and that’s where the danger in this kind of device lies.”
The congressman also referred to Republicans who voted to censure him as “puppets of Donald Trump,” emphasizing that “this is what the House has degenerated into.”
