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.

ReplyDeleteWOW. So Slimey Crooked Democrats not Only Demand to Keep their cushiony jobs, they also want to get their pay raise? And us, the Taxpayers to pay for it. Entitlement and Hipocrasy at it's best. Two sets of laws and since "They" consider themselves "Elites" Laws Don't Apply to Them. Round these Evil Doers and Lock 'em up behind bars. And where is all the MSM and their outrage? Where is the response from all those #MeToo Pussy-hats Protesters? Nothing. What about those Hollywood Celebrities? Nothing. What happened - their drums stopped beating?
