Dem faces House ethics complaint for heated back-and-forth with Heritage scholar: ‘How dare you’ – By Emma Colton (FOX News) / July 14, 2022
‘We’re going to call out the reprehensible behavior,’ Heritage President Kevin Roberts says
EXCLUSIVE: Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts filed an ethics complaint with the Office of Congressional Ethics over Democratic California Rep. Katie Porter allegedly “knowingly and intentionally defaming” a Second Amendment expert during a congressional hearing.
“I would love for the committee to reprimand the representative for doing what she did. I think at the very least there needs to be an apology. There needs to be a … retraction in the official record of that exchange. Because Amy [Swearer], who does not complain about things, has just been assailed … by the left and her reputation has been maligned,” Roberts told Fox News Digital in a phone interview Wednesday.
The ethics complaint, which was reviewed by Fox News Digital and sent to OCE Chairman Mike Barnes on Wednesday, stems from a congressional hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on June 8 regarding the “gun violence epidemic” in the United States.
