Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is urging that the names of lawmakers accused of sexually harassing their colleagues are revealed.

“Name them,” Graham told reporters Wednesday. “Just get it out. Lay it out. Change the rules so people can come to work without being harassed. Those who do these things need to be held accountable.”

His comments came after a number of female lawmakers have come forward with stories of harassment directed at them and staffers by male members of Congress.

Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) said Tuesday at a House committee meeting on harassment policies that two sitting members of Congress, a Republican and a Democrat, have engaged in sexual harassment.

But Speier declined to identify those lawmakers to protect the victims.
