The announcement came moments after Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) announced his resignation from Congress after multiple women came forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct, with one former subordinate claiming she had been raped by the longtime lawmaker.

Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-N.M.) announced plans to introduce a resolution later this week to expel Gonzales from Congress. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) similarly planned to put forward a measure to boot Swalwell from the House.

“As I’ve said, Gonzales and Swalwell are not fit to serve in Congress given their sexual transgressions against women who work for them,” Fernández wrote on X. “They should resign or be expelled.”

Fernández and Luna both expressed support for each other’s resolutions.
