What are the charges against Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzalez? Lawmakers call for deportations; ‘They need to go home’

The House is considering voting to expel the two lawmakers after growing pressure over sexual misconduct allegations and ethics concerns, NBC News reported.

Byron Donalds, a Republican from Florida, told NBC News “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker that he would vote to expel the two lawmakers from Congress if given the chance.

Donalds said, “These accusations are despicable and undermine the integrity of Congress. These things are completely unacceptable,” he added. “As far as I’m concerned, both gentlemen need to go home.”

Additional reporting by CNN and NBC News said at least three other women have accused Swalwell of inappropriate behavior, including harassment and sending unsolicited explicit images.

According to two of the women, Swalwell sent them unsolicited photos or videos of his penis. Another woman claimed Swalwell kissed her in public without her consent.

One of the women is a social media creator; Ellie Sammarcoshe has publicly confirmed her experience to NBC and CNN.

Swalwell has vehemently denied all the accusations, calling them “absolutely false” and politically motivated.

The California lawmaker was the front-runner in the gubernatorial race before Friday’s charges, but now political groups and colleagues are urging him to drop out of the race.

Gonzalez acknowledged the incident and described it as a “lapse in judgment.” “I made a mistake, I had an error in judgment. And with a lack of confidence, I take full responsibility for these actions,” he said. He further added that he had “reconciled” with his wife.

Another former employee later told NBC News that they exchanged sexually explicit text messages while she was employed by the Texas congressman.

Gonzalez was seeking re-election to the Texas House of Representatives but dropped out of the race after it was revealed that he sent sexually explicit text messages to a staffer, who later died by suicide.
