109 Republicans Voted Against Bill to Ban Sexual Assault NDAs

The newly passed Speak Out Act "empowers survivors of sexual assault and harassment to speak openly about their experiences and pursue the justice they deserve," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal.

The House on Wednesday passed bipartisan legislation that prohibits employers from using pre-dispute non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) or non-disparagement clauses to silence survivors of workplace sexual assault and harassment.

President Joe Biden is expected to sign the Speak Out Act, which had already been approved in the Senate by unanimous consent, as soon as it reaches his desk.

But 109 Republicans voted against protecting the rights of employees to share their stories and pursue justice without fear of retribution for violating NDAs signed prior to instances of sexual misconduct.

1. They knew this bill would pass anyway

It doesn't matter what they voted because the bill already had enough votes to pass. Some of these a-holes have to put in their "protest" vote anyway. It doesn't mean spit. The Dems have done the same thing many times - when we were the minority party.

2. Of course they did.

3. So these 109 republican reps have their own NDAs to keep secret? Makes one wonder...

And I thought using a NDA to hide a crime was illegal anyways, perhaps I'm mistaken.
