A lawyer for Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., said late Wednesday that his client does not intend to quit Congress amid multiple sexual harassment allegations.

In a statement, Arnold Reed said that Conyers "will not be forced out of office based on the agenda of others" and claimed that "[i]f people were required to resign over allegations, a lot of people would be out of work in this country including, many members of the house[sic], senate[sic], and even the president."

The 88-year-old Conyers is the subject of an investigation by the House Ethics Committee after BuzzFeed reported Monday that his office paid a woman more than $27,000 under a confidentiality agreement to settle a complaint in 2015 that she was fired from his Washington staff because she rejected his sexual advances.

Let me put it another way. This reprobate stool sample has been in Congress longer than Charles Manson was in prison. Time to flush.

Why on earth would he? Bill Clinton set the (low) standard for Democrat behavior. Conyers is simply living down to that level as best he can.

Democrats just don't resign from shame, because that requires shame.

Oh, suddenly allegations aren’t enough... Just a week ago they were more than enough. What changed?

The 88-year-old Conyers is the subject of an investigation by the House Ethics Committee after BuzzFeed reported Monday that his office taxpayers paid a woman more than $27,000...

C'mon Faux News, stop constantly covering for D.C. scumbags.

Conyer’s district is Berkeley.

Do we want it represented by an 88 year old discredited pervert who is incoherent?—consider what his replacement would be like.

I want his corpse on the floor filling that seat.

[knighthawk]

Good, this means Dems will never be able to ask a Rep to resign!

[TonyM]

Yes he is 88 years old but give him a break he is probably having to pay to put his girlfriend thru grade school.

[Freee-dame]

“But that’s different” is one of the Dems favorite maxims. They will use it against any Republican.

Gerrymandering has allowed really horrible people to remain in Office.

[Jimmy Valentine]

He is our resident Robert Mugabe and deserves the same fate.

[I want the USA back]

He seems arrogant. Perhaps it’s his protective pigmentation that gives him immunity.

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

Amen.
