One-hundred and nine Republicans have backed a movement to condemn House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) for deliberately misrepresenting a phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a list obtained by Breitbart News Friday.
Over half of House Republicans have moved to condemn chairman Schiff by cosponsoring House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs’ (R-AZ) H. Res. 604, according to a list obtained by Breitbart News. H. Res. 604 would condemn Schiff for retelling a fictional phone call between Zelensky and Trump.
Schiff also allegedly lied about having never spoken to the Ukrainian intelligence officer “whistleblower.”
House Freedom Caucus Chairman Biggs’ legislation has quickly moved through the House GOP conference. Support for the bill spreads from conservatives to moderates and House Republican leadership.
Two weeks ago, the resolution gained 18 cosponsors. Last Friday, the bill gained 61 cosponsors. On Monday, the resolution had 73 cosponsors. On Wednesday, the legislation gained support from half of the House Republican conference. Now, as of Friday morning, the legislation has the support of 109 Republicans.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA), and House Republican Conference chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-WY) have sponsored the resolution to condemn Schiff.

When Breitbart News reported that the legislation gained more than half of the House Republican conference, Rep. Biggs said that “it is time to hold Mr. Schiff accountable for misleading the American people in this unauthorized impeachment” of President Trump.
100 of my colleagues have now joined my motion to condemn and censure Chairman Adam Schiff. It is time we hold Mr. Schiff accountable for misleading the American people in this unauthorized impeachment of @POTUS @realDonaldTrump. https://t.co/tfTcnjAcuG
