House Kills Effort to Shed Light on Sexual Misconduct

The House voted to scuttle an effort by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to shed more light on sexual misconduct allegations against members of Congress, NBC News reports.

“Mace, a conservative Republican who is running to be governor of South Carolina, forced a floor vote on her resolution directing the House Ethics Committee to make public all reports on allegations of congressional lawmakers and aides engaging in sexual misconduct or harassment.”

“But in a 357-65 vote, the House voted to refer the Mace resolution to committee — a move that effectively killed it.”
