HARRISBURG - Though House Republican leaders have not sanctioned Rep. Nick Miccarelli despite accusations of physically or sexually abusing two women, GOP leadership on Thursday said they will strip Miccarelli of his committee assignments and relocate his desk on the House floor so that he is farther from one of his accusers.
GOP leaders announced the actions in a memo circulated Thursday morning to all House members, in which they said an internal investigation had found that Miccarelli, a Delaware County Republican, had once again violated the chamber's policy prohibiting retaliation against anyone who reports alleged sexual harassment.
Miccarelli, it said, publicly shared the name of one his accusers on social media, despite her request to keep her name confidential. House lawyers who conducted the internal inquiry also said he shared sexually explicit emails and photographs of the accuser "without a valid purpose."

(3,823 posts)Thats a major difference between the parties. A Democrat would have been reprimanded immediately. Republicans deny, make excuses and ignore as long as possible and then do the least they can do.

But, IOKIYT (It's OK If You're Trump)..........in case that was needed.
