CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 23, 2026
IF YOU ARE NEED OF ADDITIONAL PROOF THAT AMERICA IS IN DECLINE – POLITICALLY, MORALLY, FINANCIALLY AND ESPECIALLY ETHICALLY, HERE IT IS:
SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON SAYS HE WILL BACK A BIPARTISAN EFFORT TO KEEP LAWMAKERS FROM ENGAGING IN SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH CONGRESSIONAL STAFF.
DID YOU KNOW THAT HOUSE RULES PREVENT MEMBERS FROM HAVING SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THEIR OWN STAFF, BUT NOT WITH OTHER AIDES ON CAPITOL HILL?
THE TASK FORCE WAS PUT TOGETHER AFTER CALIFORNIA DEMOCRAT ERIC SWALWELL AND REPUBLICAN TONY GONZALEZ OF TEXAS RESIGNED AMID SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS. GONZALEZ ADMITTED TO AN AFFAIR WITH ONE OF HIS AIDES. SWALWELL DENIED MULTIPLE ALLEGATIONS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND MISCONDUCT.
SPEAKER JOHNSON SAYS CONGRESS SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST THE SAME STANDARDS OF ETHICS AS CORPORATIONS.
THE PUBLIC’S VIEW OF CONGRESS IS AT AN ALL-TIME LOW. BUT WHOSE FAULT IS THIS? IT’S THE VOTERS. PROPLE WHO VOTE FOR BAD PEOPLE GET WHAT THEY DESERVE, BUT IT’S NICE TO KNOW THERE WILL BE PENALTIES FOR IMMORAL BEHAVIOR TOWARD STAFF MEMBERS. MAYBE NOW THEY WILL HAVE TIME TO REDUCE THE NATIONAL DEBT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
