"The question is what more could the House do to protect staffers from predators. You didn't say that, I said it. Look, 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."
"We've tightened up ethics rules and the laws that apply here and we'll continue to be as aggressive as possible to make sure this doesn't happen. We will bring exact punishment upon those who violate that sacred obligation they have to be a good steward and a boss over their staffs."
"The House Ethics Committee has been one of the most involved, busy committees in Congress and they are around the clock investigating allegations against members. When an allegation is made, they go into that process. It's bipartisan by design and it has worked well."
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced intentions to impose strict consequences on congressional predators after two members resigned amid sexual misconduct allegations. He acknowledged the shocking nature of the allegations and emphasized the need for better protection for staffers. Johnson stated that ethics rules have been tightened and that the House Ethics Committee is actively investigating allegations. He expressed gratitude for the swift resignations of Representatives Swalwell and Gonzales, reinforcing a commitment to address misconduct aggressively and ensure accountability among members.
