Lauren Boebert announced an effort to revoke the lifetime taxpayer-funded pensions of former Reps. Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales after both resigned from Congress amid sexual misconduct allegations.
Boebert stated that Swalwell abused his position to assault and victimize women, and she aims to ensure neither receives pension benefits.
Swalwell and Gonzales resigned from Congress, facing allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment.
Boebert expressed that they should not have been allowed to resign and instead faced expulsion or censure votes in the House. Historically, only six House members have been expelled, with such votes possible for disorderly conduct.
