voteinorout on Instagram: "Speaker #MikeJohnson (R-LA) vowed Wednesday to âexact #punishmentâ on âpredatorsâ in Congress following the resignations of Reps. Eric #Swalwell (D-CA) and Tony #Gonzales (R-TX) amid sexual misconduct scandals. âThe question is what more could the House do to protect staffers from predators. You didnât say that, I said it,â the speaker said at a press conference. âLook, some of the allegations that have been made, and apparently some of the facts that are coming out to verify those allegations, are shocking to us as they are to all of you, and they must be addressed.â The speaker said the House had âtightened upâ ethics rules and that leadership would âcontinue to be as aggressive as possibleâ to ensure lawmakers comply with rules and laws. âWe will bring exact punishment upon those who violate that sacred obligation they have to be a good steward and a boss over their staffs and to not use that position for that kind of terrible activity,â he said. âI donât know what else to say about it other than itâs detestable.â The two lawmakers resigned from the House on Tuesday, avoiding potential attempts to expel them from Congress after Mr. Gonzales admitted to having an affair with a staffer, who later died by self-immolation, and numerous women accused Mr. Swalwell of sexual assault. Speaker Johnson also noted that the Ethics Committee would soon vote on a punishment for Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) after finding her guilty of dozens of ethics violations, and said he supported her expulsion from the chamber. âI suspect that that may be expulsion. In my view, that would be appropriate there,â he said. âIt is a rare penalty. Itâs only happened so far six times since 1789, but these times call for desperate measures, right?â Watch more by tapping the link in our bio. #mikejohnson tonygonzalez ericswalwell cspan Follow @cspan for more.
