House Democrats on Wednesday rejected a Republican proposal to add a provision that would block federal employees who were disciplined for sexual misconduct to receive the same pay raise as the rest of their colleagues.
Republicans attempted to add the provision to legislation proposed by Democrats to give federal workers a 2.6 percent raise. The Republican proposal was to simply stipulate that workers disciplined for sexual misconduct be exempt from the raise.

I see President Trumps first veto, if it ever makes it through the Senate.

“Democrats for rape and starvation!”
I hope the President does VETO this bill if it passes with a federal employee pay raise as many of them (of course not all) are already hugely overpaid. If there’s not substantial money for the border barriers/walls, there should be no money for increased pay for the ‘RATS base.
The attempt to stop it by the Dems says a lot.
That would also tell us the who since salaries would be a public record.
Does it include Congresscritters?
What??? They don’t get fired? In the private sector if you make a comment that someone could interpret as misogyny, you get fired.
