Virginia Rep. Suhas Subramanyam argued that Congress needs to move quickly and hold members accountable when serious ethics allegations arise. His remarks came as the House censured North Carolina Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards. The House Ethics Committee concluded there was substantial reason to believe Edwards violated House rules related to sexual harassment and hostile workplaces after investigating his conduct toward two female staffers, and recommended that the full House censure him. Edwards has rejected the committee’s conclusions and denied that his conduct amounted to sexual harassment.
