He argues that House Democrats must be willing to criticize and hold their own members accountable for misconduct to distinguish themselves from Republicans.

“the thing you have to do here is you need the ethics committee to work. Like there needs to be an actual process of adjudication that is viewed to be bipartisan >> and independent of the leadership.”

He thinks Democrats must demonstrate integrity by criticizing their own party members for corrupt behavior to maintain a moral contrast with Republicans.

“I am pretty disgusted by the Democrats who reflexively defended what happened here. We cannot be the party who is talking about democracy all of the time and how corrupt Donald Trump is and then turn a blind eye to what is a very obvious infringement on democracy and a bit of political corruption.”
