Rep. Conyers' Wife in Bar Fight

The wife of Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers has been accused of punching a woman in the eye during a bar fight.

A spokesman for Monica Conyers, a city councilwoman-elect, confirmed Friday that she was involved in an altercation. But he said Conyers merely defended herself after being attacked by another woman.

The spokesman said Rebecca Mews became upset Tuesday during a birthday celebration for an attorney, who Mews says was her date. While Conyers was speaking with the man, Mews "came over and literally started spewing obscene names," and shoved Conyers, said Conyers' chief of staff, Sam Riddle.

"This woman was obviously drunk, and the councilwoman vigorously defended herself," he said.

Mews, who appeared on WDIV-TV on Thursday with a black eye, denied she was intoxicated. Mews said that when Conyers began speaking to her date with her back to her, she tapped her on the shoulder and said, "Pardon me."

"She turned around and began yelling at me," Mews said. "When I began yelling back at her, she punches me in my left eye several times," Mews said. "I never struck her. Never once did I hit her."

Sounds like Conyers needs to be impeached. How ironic.

The elite expect to be able to run roughshod over all the little people. The nerve of this little person speak back to an elitist like Conyers. The brazen hussy should have bowed and apologized.

Another parasite couple. The Northeast is just infested with 'em. Entire states, like Maryland and Connecticut, are nothing but government parasites abusing normal people every day.

If the woman was drunk and spewing obscenities, I'm glad to see someone popped her.

Sounds like Conyers' wife was making the rounds to thank her voter base for putting her in office.

Wasn't there another wife of a demoncRAT congressman that punched someone out over a parking space (I think it was over a parking space)? Maybe I'm thinking about Tom Daschle's wife got into a catfight. The details escape me.
