                     SUPPORT THE CENSURE RESOLUTION

  (Mrs. LESKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mrs. LESKO. Mr. Speaker, I have to say that I am a proud cosponsor of 
the resolution before us today to censure Congressman Adam Schiff. And 
I want to thank my fellow Arizona Congressman for leading the effort on 
this great job.
  We have watched Congressman Schiff say now for 2 years that he had 
evidence that President Trump and his campaign colluded with Russia, 
but then when we saw the Mueller report, we determined that that just 
was not accurate.
  Then in committee recently Mr. Schiff read a false, made-up narrative 
of a conversation he purported to be between President Trump and the 
Ukrainian President. It was absolutely made up and false, I believe, to 
try to deceive the American public.
  Then on national TV, Mr. Schiff said: No--when asked--no, our office 
did not have any prior contact with the

whistleblower. And then we found out that that was untrue.
  So I support the resolution to censure Congressman Adam Schiff.
