Vote was chaired by Democrat Tony Cardenas, who is accused of drugging teenage girl
House Democrats on Wednesday rejected a Republican proposal to add a provision that would block federal employees who were disciplined for sexual misconduct to receive the same pay raise as the rest of their colleagues.
Republicans attempted to add the provision to legislation proposed by Democrats to give federal workers a 2.6 percent raise. The Republican proposal was to simply stipulate that workers disciplined for sexual misconduct be exempt from the raise.
"During calendar year 2019, no increase in pay as authorized under this Act may be provided to any Federal employee who has been disciplined for sexual misconduct under chapter 75 of title 5, United States Code, or any other provision of law," read the Republican proposal.
Despite receiving support from 17 Democrats, the proposal was rejected in a 216-206 vote.
A spokesperson for House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) slammed the bill ahead of the vote to adopt the amendment on sexual misconduct.
"As Washington Democrats continue their ill-advised push for unilateral pay raises for federal employees, regardless of their performance, Republicans continue to ask Democrats to amend their legislation," said Erin Perrine. "Currently this bill treats victims the same as their harassers. That makes no sense."

would that be for most of them are democrats?
It depends on what the "disciplined" part of it is. Some may be denied a move up the career ladder. Some are transferred. Some lose their jobs. Most get away with just a note in their personnel jacket.
WOW. Here are the Democrats who think of themselves as Elites and Laws do not apply to them. How Dare You Want to Stop our Democ-rat "representatives" from Getting Pay Raise just because of their Sexual Misconduct? Are you getting this? Not only they Demand to keep their Jobs, they Demand to Get Pay Raise and us, the Taxpayers to Pay for it. They need to be Fired Immediately!
They should be expelled permanently from holding any political office.
Be exempt from raises? Why not be fired?
