As most Republicans avoided questions last month about allegations Rep. Tony Gonzales had an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide, three GOP women made their demands clear: their colleague has to go.
Reps. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Nancy Mace of South Carolina and Anna Paulina Luna of Florida each used their social media platforms to build pressure for the Texas Republican’s ouster. They also issued a broader call — it was time to unmask other sexual misconduct in Congress, they said.
The push started to look like the beginnings of another MeToo movement, where women advocated for institutional change around workplace sexual harassment.
