A Republican congressman found to have violated House rules regarding sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment is facing calls to resign. Axios reported that the Democratic Women's Caucus has called upon Chuck Edwards, R-North Carolina, to resign following the conclusions of the House Ethics Committee. A report from the committee found that Edwards' interactions with two female staffers violated House rules. The report's findings have prompted the House Democratic Women's Caucus to call on Edwards to resign. The leadership of the caucus of Democratic lawmakers wrote in an email cited by Axios that "a censure has no real consequences."
