Luna had introduced the measure on Tuesday, building on her previous efforts to remove Schiff from office altogether.
In the wake of the vote, Schiff described the failed attempt to censure him as"a badge of honor that I will wear proudly. "MAGA Republicans are going after me because I dared to hold Donald Trump accountable," he wrote on social media."These efforts to intimidate me will not succeed. I will always defend our democracy."MAGA Republicans are going after me because I dared to hold Donald Trump accountable.
