NEW YORK -- R. Kelly was set to headline a Congressional Black Caucus benefit concert Friday night, but not all the lawmakers were "happy people." Some CBC members are concerned about Kelly being connected to the conference while he is facing 14 counts of child pornography in Chicago.

Kerry keeps some interesting company, pot smokers, war criminals and now child molesters. Way to be diverse John.
