“A few minutes of embarrassing CSPAN coverage, while the staffers themselves had to endure over two years of sexual harassment, is not comparable” Leaders of Democratic Women’s Caucus urge resignation - not censure - of Rep Chuck Edwards (R-NC) after ethics committee report
Mel8When you actually read the details, it was obvious harassment of two young staffers and he should resign.

jomajowski.bsky.social1Just read up on this. What a creepy love bomber. I’m sure his wife was ok with him spending his birthday in NYC with his young female staffer.
Formally reprimanding one Republican for this misconduct is not enough — we need full accountability for every Member of Congress accused of serious misdeeds, including expediting investigations into Cory Mills and Max Miller.

Hedy Lamarr Stands with Ukraine🌻🌻🌻1Censure isn't anything at all. Fine them HUGELY based on their net worth. These people only listen when their wallets scream. As a matter of fact-corporate fines need to be massive or they'll do stuff b/c they make millions & millions & get fined $100K. Fine them a year's profit-or more.

Reading through the House Ethics cmte report on Rep Chuck Edwards 😬: He "wrote poems for Staffer 2, including one that he read at her going away party in the congressional office accompanied by a slideshow, during which he cried. Several staffers present testified that they felt uncomfortable..."
Kate Riga41He "Arranged for a singer to go to Staffer 2’s birthday party to sing Ed Sheeran’s Hills of Aberfeldy and say that it was 'from a special someone.'...Staffer 2 told a friend this led her to believe that the Congressman did not view her as “just a daughter figure” and that she was “scared lowkey.”
Jeff Lazarus5"read at her" is a remarkably descriptive turn of phrase for a committee report.
Frank Zupan3Yeeesh, I feel uncomfortable reading about it. Yuk!
Douglas Beach1Never heard of this guy before this. Appears to have an epic combover.
No one is surprised that 65yo Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) likes pulling out his old shriveled weiner around young girls, especially not even his wife.

🇺🇸𝕀𝕟𝕕𝕪 ℝ𝕖𝕗𝕦𝕘𝕖𝕖🇺🇸 𝚂𝚊𝚗𝚒𝚝𝚢 𝙽𝚘𝚠!3Considering the number of Republican House members who are proving to be violent bad guys, I’m anticipating the censure of anyone who doesn’t rape or beat their partners.
ChristopherLinnYoung2While I agree that censure in this case is certainly warranted, I cannot avoid the cavernous double standard wherein a congressman like Edwards can be censured, but a president cannot be held to account for far more egregious behavior.
Hmmmbuzz2How many of these guys??? Miller , ohio for domestic violence…
