Conyers Fired Staffer for Refusing His Sexual Advances

Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sexual favors, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

The CBC will have to issue some sort of resolution to condemn his behavior praise their Dean's service and pledge support for him during this difficult time when he needs privacy from his constituents and the law.

A childhood neighbor of mine (couple of years older) and now current R congressman, was into hard core porn magazines as a teen. Not the Playboy variety—super hardcore. One day he thought it would be entertaining to expose me to it. I was not amused and I made that very clear. It didn’t scar me, but ever since I’ve thought of him as super creepy.

Maybe he turned his life around—who knows?

I got a call from Quinnipiac last night but all the poll questions centered around Trump, sexual harassment, Judge Moore and my background.

I was a little surprised that Obama didn't appoint him to the bench during that 8 year interregnum during which we had no legal POTUS.

John Conyers’ prize winning poem from Pimp of the Year competition:

My bitch better have my money
Through rain
Sleet
Or snow

My ho better have my money
Not half
Not some
But all my cash

Because if she don’t
I’m gonna put my foot
Dead in her ass!

Well, maybe they will think he’s just another Mayor Marion Barry (DC Mayor and convict/crackhead For Life).

The DC government is seriously planning to erect a statue of Marion Barry. A long-time white DC city councilman on Tucker last night answered Tucker's question about Marion Barry's legacy by saying that he promoted the middle class in DC. Tucker laughed and said that Barry was Mayor of DC during one of the biggest eras of white flight ever in DC. The City Councilman then said that lots of people held Marion Barry in high regard. This interview was almost unreal.

Out with George Washington; in with Marion Barry. /s

Showing that too you was simply the first step in his plan. Good for you for standing strong. You had a great reason to slap him hard enough to physically scar him for life.

Yet another LIB loser who abuses women. I hate when that happens .

Yes the big lie that the dems care about women. But there is a much bigger lie out there waiting to be exposed.

That is the lie that dems care about blacks. If you looks at women's lives that have been destroyed by lefty progressives it pails in comparison to the lives destroyed in the black community.

Which is why they attack any and all conservative blacks with such reckless abandonment.

Since he’s a democrat, nothing will happen to him.

“What is baffling about it? They had the power, they knew it would be covered up by their palls in the media, so they abused their power. It is the way of the world.”

It’s not baffling that they did it. What baffles me is that they are being pilloried for it.

Why now? Who is behind this? What is the goal of this...I don’t even know what to call it, but what is it intended to accomplish? Is it one person or group pulling the strings, or several, perhaps with different motives?

The DC City Councilman you mentioned is Jack Evans, a nice guy typical liberal with a terrible memory. He has to play both sides of the street in order to keep getting elected though he’s from a significantly, if not, largely white constituency.

Barry was a crook, a crack-user, possibly an adulterer, and as a FR special, reportedly beat his second wife Effie so badly that she had to go secretly to a hospital in Baltimore to get her face repaired. I had an acquaintance who knew Effie and went to see her in the hospital. We often shared a train-ride together so I got some good gossipy news about Barry and DC.

Barry’s first wife, a nasty piece of work, and all the other key leaders of OIC, Inc. (a poverty ripoff project), went to jail except Barry, who was also one of their key officers.

His third wife, Cora McMasters or Masters, kept his nuts in a lockbox (or so she thought). She was one tough broad, but smart.

I assisted my local congressman in 1970 or so, with his probe into Barry’s extracurricular activities regarding his possibly buying guns with which to train black youth at a farm in nearby Virginia. Unfortunately the probe was cut short when the congressman lost reelection and the records were destroyed before I could get to them.

However, the key man I worked with was one of the IRS agents who took down Al Capone. His name was John Yates Little and he was good.

We did help expose the communist takeover of the Washington Teachers Union by a Marxist group from Michigan led by William Simon and his aides including Charles Cheng and I believe David Elsila (who is still found among Marxist groups today). [There was a hearing on the WTU possibly held by the House Committee on Education or House Committee on DC. Not everything we found was in there but if you read between the lines, keeping in mind what I have written, I think you’ll get the drift of what I have said].

The bulk of the WTU teachers who literally controlled the WTU were from the Trotskyite “Socialist Workers Party” (SWP) and/or their youth arm, the “Young Socialist Alliance”. This included Marilyn Lerch, Erich Martel and Maude White, among others SWP/YSA teachers.

It took many years before a new school administrator came in and destroyed Simon’s machine’s hold on the WTU.

This surprises me since Effie stood by him through the trial, after which she took her son and moved to another state. It must not have been far enough as the son died of a PCP overdose at age 36. Sad.

We are getting the popcorn out since this is a great show to see the Rat party implode right before the 2018 Election cycle.
