The Colorado House expelled one of its members over sexual harassment accusations on Friday in a vote so fraught that two representatives said they wore bulletproof vests. Three women, including a member of the state House, have accused Lebsock of sexual harassment and filed formal complaints against him, but he also faces anonymous allegations. Before the vote, two state lawmakers revealed that they were wearing bulletproof vests to protect themselves from Lebsock. Lebsock “threatened to ‘take me down,’” said state Rep. Alec Garnett (D), assistant state House majority leader. “I’ve been wearing it for three weeks.”State Rep. Matt Gray (D) also said he was wearing a bulletproof vest.
