Rep. Dan Meuser criticized Democratic leaders over their response to allegations involving Reps. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick and Eric Swalwell. Cherfilus-McCormick has denied wrongdoing, and Meuser declined to call for Rep. Cory Mills to resign while an ethics review continues.
Outlets across the spectrum report on Cherfilus-McCormick's resignation, which occurred just minutes before a scheduled House Ethics Committee hearing regarding 25 alleged violations. While mainstream sources like Axios and NPR focus on the $5 million in pandemic relief funds she allegedly misused, right-leaning outlets like Newsmax and The Floridian highlight her claims of a lack of due process and criticize Democratic leadership for failing to act sooner.
