John Conyers Jr. has a long and complicated legacy in southeast Michigan and the U.S. Congress.
He
has been an undisputed hero of the civil rights movement, a legislator
of uncommon influence and power, and an aging icon whose felonious wife
and sometimes-wandering pace have confounded his place in history.
But
the revelations of Conyers’ alleged sexual harassment scandal and his
documented use of taxpayer dollars to bury that scandal, in violation of
congressional ethics rules, is less ambiguous.
It
is the kind of behavior that can never be tolerated in a public
official, much less an elected representative of the people.
And it means that whatever Conyers’ legacy will eventually be, his tenure as a member of Congress must end — now. . . . . . AND THIS IS A DEMOCRAT RAG. His wife was convicted of felony bribery charges back in 2010 and given a three years sentence. He can't keep his hands off women, and she can't keep her hands off money - and this is your Black Leadership, ladies and gentlemen ~ editor.
Paul McLeod / BuzzFeed:
You know there are more women hiding in the shadows. Who knows what kind of threats this man has issued to his victims . . . . . many of them very young interns ~ editor.
New York Times:
The ONLY reason these clowns are moving "swiftly" is the very bad press they are getting. Two weeks ago, all this immoral crap was just fine with these people. I mean, whatever happened to "What a man does in private is his own business," a comment you often heard when "they" were defending Bubba Clinton ~ editor.
Paul Farhi / Washington Post:
Why BuzzFeed teamed with a far-right figure to break the John Conyers scandal
Turns out "they" have been given dozen of documents, even a copy of a court filing against Conyer earlier this year. Why did Buzzfeed "go" with the story? In a word, "If you can't beat 'em, you gots to join 'em." Me? I am loving it. They start off with "Russian collusion." Come up with nothing. Then, suddenly discover Uranium One and the real Russian Connection. And now, all these "free love" clowns are caught with their pants down . . . literally . . . . involving hundreds of women.
Its that last part that gets them in trouble. If they only had to deal with a Roy Moore, and eight women, none of whom claim "rape," They would do what the Moore people are doing. But when you have dozens of perps and hundreds of women, all from the same freaking party, well, that changes the calculus a bit.
Not all blacks, not all Democrats, are "immoral." Try to keep up, dude.
ReplyDeleteI only employ the same rhetorical license used by the Dems. Its not a few, but all who voted for Trump who are "deplorables." Remember that line of attack. It was Barack who decided back in 2011 to ignore the white blue collar voter as an entire population. So drop dead when coming after me for using the decades old strategies of the Dmes.
DeleteBack at ya on that "try to keep up, dude."
Anthony Weiner went to jail for this.

No he didn't. He went to jail for multiple offenses to a MINOR. There is nothing criminally wrong with what the Representative did. There will be no prosecution because there is no crime. It is morally reprehensible, but, like Bill Clinton, no crime was committed.
