Tom Carper announces bill to give D.C. statehood\">received support<\/a> from both parties, including 20 Republicans voting against the resolution, as well as five GOP and two Democratic abstentions.<\/p>\n<p>The resolution cited a series of allegations of misconduct and abuse of authority by Schiff, particularly regarding his role in the investigations of collusion between President Donald Trump and Russia, and his efforts to impeach Trump.<\/p>\n<p>Following the vote, <span style=\"color: #000000;\">Schiff seemed unfazed, saying <\/span>that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) took up the resolution \u201cto gratify the MAGA people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a predominantly MAGA problem,\u201d Schiff told The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[McCarthy] has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/a-football-analogy-to-explain-democrats-election-cheating\/\" title=\"A Football Analogy to Explain Democrats' Election Cheating\">lost control<\/a> of his conference.

And so I think right now, you guys will see exactly who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luna reported that after the vote failed, she went over to Schiff on the House floor promising that the measure would be taken up again in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The 20 Republicans who voted to table the motion included Reps.
