Lawmakers from both parties expressed disgust and alarm that Rep. Eric Swalwell,<\/a> D-Calif., has been able to hold elected office for 16 years, build a national profile \u2014 even mount a front-running gubernatorial campaign \u2014 all the while masking the alleged sexual misconduct that forced him from office earlier this week.<\/p>\n

“There needs to be a zero-tolerance policy in the Capitol for that type of behavior,” Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., said.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m glad that he resigned. He needed to resign. My heart breaks for any victim, all the women who have come forward thus far. And I\u2019m horrified by his behavior.”<\/p>\n

McBride\u2019s thoughts were echoed by Rep. Beth Van Duyne, R-Texas, who noted Swalwell\u2019s conduct had crossed obvious red lines.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s pretty clear. Don’t sleep with your staff. Don’t sexually harass people that work for you. And don’t rape women. It’s not really that hard of a list to follow,” Van Duyne said.<\/p>\n

The remarks from lawmakers come<\/a> as Capitol Hill grapples with how to prevent similar stories from repeating themselves down the road.<\/p>\n

Bombshell reporting from CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle last week laid out accounts from multiple victims detailing how <\/a>Swalwell had made sexual advances toward intoxicated women, pressured employees into intimate situations and invited them to send him explicit images over text.<\/p>\n

In their wake, Swalwell announced he would abandon his campaign to become the next governor of California on Sunday. A day later, he also announced his resignation from Congress.<\/a><\/p>\n

Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, was left baffled by how Swalwell had managed to keep his conduct under wraps \u2014 despite an apparent reputation for pushing the envelope.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know \u2014 I mean it\u2019s a shame and it\u2019s shameful. I know folks say that there were rumors and so forth,” Castro said.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he noted that members have limited visibility<\/a> into each other\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n

“This place \u2014 people don\u2019t generally, unless they intend to, they don\u2019t generally hang around with each other a lot,” Castro said.<\/p>\n

To Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., future instances of misconduct might be prevented by a greater culture of transparency between offices.<\/p>\n

“I think that people need to know that they can come to women members like me and do something,” Dingell said.<\/p>\n

“And I\u2019ll tell you one thing. If Nancy Pelosi<\/a> had had any indications, she would have cut his ‘blanks’ off,” she added, referring to the former speaker of the House.<\/p>\n

Even after his resignation, Swalwell has continued to rebuff the claims against him.<\/p>\n

“These accusations are false, fabricated, and deeply offensive \u2014 a calculated and transparent political hit job designed to destroy the reputation of a man who has spent twenty years in public service,” Sara Azari, Swalwell’s attorney, wrote on social media Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“The timing, nature and coordinated rollout of these vile and heinous allegations speak for themselves.”<\/p>\n

Other members reacting to Swalwell\u2019s comments said they were not concerned about when the claims surfaced.<\/p>\n

“It’s always unfortunate whenever allegations like this emerge at whatever time. But I don’t think there’s a wrong time for truthful allegations to ever come out,” Rep. Shomari Figures, D-Ala., said.<\/p>\n

With Swalwell having resigned office, California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that the state would hold a <\/a>special election to fill<\/a> to fill the vacancy on Aug. 18.<\/p>\n

A special primary is scheduled for June 16.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
