Today, Congresswoman Nancy Mace (R-SC) issued the following statement after the House rejected her resolution to force the release of sexual harassment claims against lawmakers:
"Both parties colluded today to protect predators. They voted to keep sexual harassment records buried, and they did it together.
"Every Member who voted against this resolution voted to protect the cover-up instead of the victims.
"This is the establishment in action, always protecting itself, never the victims. Ask yourself why. Remember their names when they ask for your vote.
"We don't want to hear a single Member who voted this resolution down utter the name of a single Epstein victim. You don't get to bury sexual harassment records in Congress and then pretend you care about victims. Pick a side.
"The victims deserved better. The American people deserved better. Every Member who voted to keep these records buried voted to protect power over people. We won't let it go and neither should you."
