The behavior was not “becoming of the U.S. Congress,” Mr. McCarthy said in an interview with a few dozen reporters on Tuesday. House Democrats made it clear that they would not stand down but were keeping their options open on Tuesday as they returned from the Fourth of July recess. Mr. Ryan is scheduled to meet Tuesday evening with Representatives John Lewis of Georgia and John B. Larson of Connecticut, the organizers of the recent sit-in. “This is not the way the House should work,” Mr. McCarthy said. Mr. McCarthy said that he and House Speaker Paul D. Ryan would be meeting with the House sergeant-at-arms later on Tuesday to discuss investigative paths and possible ramifications for the Democrats.
