Rep. Nancy Mace is calling for a reckoning in the halls of Congress after the resignation of Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell. She accused the political establishment of shielding predators to protect their own power and introduced a resolution to stop it.
Mace joined "Saturday in America" to discuss the resolution she put forward for the House Ethics Committee to release its records on sexual harassment by lawmakers.
"I think there should be an avalanche of resignations," Mace said. "I want every single predator that’s in Congress now to be forced to resign. I don’t care how long it takes. If we can do it fast, let’s do it now, regardless of party."
Mace’s renewed action comes after Swalwell resigned from Congress and ended his California gubernatorial bid earlier this month following multiple sexual misconduct allegations. At least five women have accused him of misconduct, including Lonna Drewes, who alleges he drugged and raped her in a hotel room in 2018.
Since the allegations surfaced, some journalists and political operatives have said Swalwell’s behavior was widely known on Capitol Hill. Mace said she wants to end the culture of silence on both sides of the political aisle.
"Both parties decided that they would vote against revealing the sexual harassment records of their own party," Mace said of a previous vote that failed on the issue.
"What happens is both parties will protect the other because they don't want their skeletons out there," she added.
