Wow!!! The Democrat Party has now become the "Equality Opportunity Sex Offenders Organization...headed by House Minority Leader, Nancy Pelosi, etc. Here is, but a small list of the "A" Team Democrat perverts, John Conyers, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, Democrats on the Congressional Black Caucus , the Hispanic Caucus, Charley Rose and, of course the master pervert, Senator Al Franken. This list, it goes on & on, unending. It is the sex offense gift that keeps giving. And Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats protect everyone of them (do as I say, not as I do). Shucks....I guess falsely accused,...

John Conyers, D-Mich., a founding member of the group, about resigning in an effort to salvage his legacy after sexual misconduct allegations, according to a report Tuesday.“There is a feeling among some of our members that we need to protect his legacy," one Democratic staffer told CNN.

Women speaking out about the men who have sexually assaulted, abused or harassed them will take to the national stage on Wednesday where organizers and past victims will call for Sen. Al Franken (D-MI) and Reps. John Conyers (D-MI) and Joe Barton (R-TX) to resign. All three lawmakers have been accused of sexual misconduct. Some of the women who will be at the National Press Club in D.C. have been speaking out for years about former president Bill Clinton assaulting or abusing them, including Juanita Broaddrick (who said Clinton raped her), Paula Jones (whose suit against Clinton for sexual harassment...

There are sexual harassers, and then there is John Conyers, the Democrat from Detroit who made his congressional office an adjunct of his libido. The evidence suggests that Conyers believed that as a 27-term congressman, he was entitled to the Washington, D.C., equivalent of the Ottoman imperial harem. He routinely hit on his female staffers, and his office was a den of sexual intrigue — allegedly featuring a jealous wife and a vindictive mistress — that properly belongs in a Bravo reality show if the network ever extends its franchise to Capitol Hill. A political party is rarely provided an...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said Monday she believes the story of Melanie Sloan, a former employee of Rep. John Conyers, just a day after she refused to criticize the Michigan Democrat amid sexual harassment accusations.

As for due process for Sen. Franken and Rep. Conyers, they deserve due process every bit as much as Judge Roy Moore does If Rep. John Conyers and Sen. Al Franken ‘deserve’ due process as Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats insist, isn’t that a privilege provided to citizens held to all of the laws of the United States?

Speaking on ABC's "This Week," Cokie Roberts made a startling admission: "every female in the press corps knew" to avoid being in an elevator with Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), and has apparently known about this "for years." Conyers has been accused of multiple instances of sexual harassment and has stepped down from the House Judiciary Committee. Despite the allegations against him, major players in the Democratic Party have defended Conyers and will not say that he should resign. Pelosi even referred to the embattled congressman as an "icon." Roberts was discussing the current culture on Capitol Hill with Martha Raddatz and Anna...

There are sexual harassers, and then there is John Conyers, the Democrat from Detroit who made his congressional office an adjunct of his libido. The evidence suggests Conyers believed that as a 27-term congressman he was entitled to the Washingon, DC, equivalent of the Ottoman Imperial Harem. He routinely hit on his female staffers and his office was a den of sexual intrigue — allegedly featuring a jealous wife and a vindictive mistress — that properly belongs in a Bravo reality show if the network ever extends its “Real Housewives” franchise to Capitol Hill.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) backtracked on Monday evening from her previous defense of Rep. John Conyers (D., Mich.) by describing his behavior against Melanie Sloan in the 1990's as "unacceptable and disappointing." Pelosi released a statement after meeting with Sloan, a prominent Washington, D.C. lawyer who previously worked with Conyers as the minority counsel to the House Judiciary Committee from 1995 until 1998. Sloan alleged last week that Conyers harassed and verbally abused her when they worked together. "This afternoon, I spoke with Melanie Sloan who worked for Congressman Conyers on the Judiciary Committee in the mid-1990s,"...

RUSH: Now, Trump is not gonna go campaign for Roy Moore in Alabama, but he doesn’t have to. He doesn’t have to. All he had to do was endorse him, which he did, and that becomes immortalized in Roy Moore’s ads. So, I mean, this has got everybody shaken up. This has got the Drive-Bys, the establishment, they thought they were on the way to dispatching Roy Moore and getting rid of — well, chipping away at the Senate majority. But what is becoming clear here, with all of the news we’re getting on Democrats engaging in sexual harassment and...

Yesterday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi declared “zero tolerance” on sexual misconduct. So, Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) — who used more than $27,000 in taxpayer dollars to settle a complaint that an employee was fired for refusing his sexual advances — is toast, right? Wrong. In the past few weeks a multitude of loopholes have emerged to give cover to badly behaving Dems. Pelosi yesterday used a loophole trifecta for Conyers on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “We are strengthened by due process. Just because someone is accused — and was it one accusation? Is it two?” Pelosi said. “John Conyers...

Video House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi defended Rep. John Conyers on Sunday while saying accusations of sexual harassment against the 88-year-old Democratic congressman from Michigan should be taken “seriously.” On NBC’s “Meet The Press,” Pelosi called Conyers “an icon in our country” who “has done a great deal to protect women” and deserves “due process.” “Just because someone is accused — and was it one accusation? Is it two?” Pelosi, D-Calif., said. “The fact is, as John reviews his case, which he knows, which I don’t, I believe he will do the right thing.” Last week, BuzzFeed revealed that in...

John Conyers, D-Mich., following accusations of sexual harassment, saying the 27-term Congressman is “an icon” who has worked to protect women. “We are strengthened by due process.

They say people in a democracy get the representatives they deserve. But it’s hard to see what we’ve done to earn this gang of miscreants. The Office of Compliance, part of Congress we didn’t know about, has paid $17 million of taxpayer dollars in more than 250 settlements to workers wronged in the past 20 years. Some of the money has gone to pay off staffers sexually harassed by members of Congress. Thanks to leaked documents, we now know that Congress handles these cases with a secrecy that protects predators and leaves future victims clueless. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich. ......

No one had to guess whether Rep. John Conyers wore boxers or briefs, according to a former key staffer, who said the embattled Michigan lawmaker once called her into a meeting while sporting only his skivvies. Melanie Sloan, a lawyer who worked with Conyers on the House Judiciary Committee, said she was called up to the long-serving congressman's office to discuss an issue only to find him “walking around in his underwear.” Sloan is the third woman to accuse Conyers of inappropriate behavior. “It made me increasingly anxious and depressed about going to work every day,” she said, adding that...

The sexual misconduct reckoning that's sweeping the nation does cross party lines and political persuasions. Republicans and Democrats are in the crosshairs. Liberal media figures have also fallen. Yet, the Left is still engaging in the Bill Clinton protocol, circling the wagons and trying to downplay the accusations. Right now, Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) has four women, two of which wish to remain anonymous, alleging that he groped them. Leeann Tweeden who fired the first salvo also said that Franken forcibly kissed her during a 2006 USO tour in the Middle East. The other Democrat in the news is Rep....

The attorney for Democratic Michigan Rep. John Conyers, who is accused of continuously sexually harassing his female staffers, defended Conyers by indicating that there are allegations against "many members" of the House and Senate. [Snip] "[Conyers' attorney] acknowledged that while these allegations are serious, they are simply allegations," the statement said. "If 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, Senate and even the president." The statement said that Conyers has "no plans to resign" despite calls for him to do so.
