​Expel Sexual Predators From The House Regardless of Party

We are likely to see votes in the coming days on expelling Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales from Congress for sexually preying on women. We are counting on you to support removing both of these abusers from the House. It is disgusting and infuriating that we’re only holding members of the club accountable for their crimes as part of partisan gamesmanship. The evidence that Rep. Gonzales pressured an aide for sex acts and retaliated against her when their “affair” was discovered has been public for weeks. Speaker Johnson and House leadership shamelessly stood by him. How long would this have gone on if they hadn’t found a Democrat to punish to even the score? We are fed up with powerful people acting like they’re above the law and morality, hurting folks and getting away with it. We are furious with their fellow elites protecting them from justice until they can use it to serve their broader agendas. We are demanding that those who claim they are fit to lead show enough leadership to acknowledge that certain acts disqualify you from public office regardless of party identification. It is clear that both Swalwell and Gonzales took advantage of their position to get away with exploiting and abusing women, and neither of them should be allowed to remain in the House of Representatives. It is also clear that they are facing the appropriate consequences for the wrong reasons. Please uphold this very basic standard in these upcoming votes, and please do so in the future without consideration of which side of the aisle they’re on.
