Friends, I have always believed in upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency in public service. Representative Schiff’s actions have blatantly disregarded those principles, which is why I supported his removal from the Intelligence Committee earlier this year and why I supported his censure in the House today. The resolution we voted on today addressed the constitutional concerns that many of my fellow Republicans and I had during last week’s vote series. I believe today’s censure was a necessary and appropriate response to hold Representative Schiff accountable for his misconduct. - Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. |
