Nebraska Lawmakers Consider Historic Expulsion of Senator Accused of Inappropriate Conduct

A separate investigation by the Nebraska State Patrol resulted in McKeon being charged with one misdemeanor count of disturbing the peace. He has pleaded not guilty.

McKeon attended Wednesday’s opening session but declined to comment directly on the report. When asked about the allegations and the potential expulsion, he referenced religion, noting that his name, Daniel, means “just” in Hebrew and saying, “We’re all sinners,” when questioned about claims that he frequently made inappropriate jokes.
