Appearing on ABC’s This Week, National Public Radio’s Cokie Roberts admitted that “for years” the female press corps has covered up sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill.
While speaking about John Conyers and Al Franken, two Democrats facing numerous sexual misconduct allegations, Roberts let this bomb matter-of-factly drop on the left-wing Sunday show, “I mean, we all talked about for years: ‘Don’t get in the elevator with him,’ you know, and the whole every-female in the press corps knew that, right, don’t get in elevator with him.”
Which “him” is Roberts referring to? Conyers? Franken? Are there others?
But back up just a moment– According to Roberts, “every” woman in the press corps knew that there was sexual misconduct going on in congress, knew that it was so brazen and so permissive that not even a female reporter was safe on an elevator, and NO ONE REPORTED IT?
No one bothered to inform the public?
How do things get so brazen that a Conyers or a Franken or a whomever feels perfectly safe groping a journalist on an elevator? I will tell you how — when said groper knows there will be no accountability for his behavior.

It’s too bad Cokie Roberts wasn’t some sort of a journalist or talking head on TV or a radio personality at the time. She might have been in a position to blow the whistle on these disgusting miscreants.
It goes back to FDR.JFK...Ted Kennedy...LBJ...Billy ....
Must say this will help clean the swamp....the guy from Chicago...must have done the indefensible..
Et tu, Cokie?................
One wonders how many women were victimized because Cokie went along with this for all those years.
Silence is consent after all.

I used to like Cokie a lot. My god, that was a long time ago.
Ted Kennedy was one of the worst.
and to think she and her cohorts call themselves ‘journalists’. some role models.
Liberal idealism trumps everything.
Many women are eager to sacrifice other women in order to get professional advantages.
He was a murderer too, but it’s okay so long as you are a politician in the right party.
Hmmmmmm, seems to me if you know something and don’t say anything about it you are just as GUILTY as the perpetrators!!! Because elitists like Roberts don’t think about those who will become victims are worth her time. SUE the skank and her cohorts for not warning these victims!!!!!
I will tell you how — when said groper knows there will be no accountability for his behavior.
‘Living in sin’ shares closed up today, while ‘groping’ is still looking for the bottom.
Cokie isn’t your run of the mill liberal. She’s a hard core Leftist. And apparently she’s willing to sacrifice innocent women to protect her fellow Leftists.

If they knew it and didn’t report it, they are guilty of aiding and abetting criminal behavior.
This really ought to be front page news. Liberal women have aided and abetted numerous men who have groped, pressured and exposed themselves to probably hundreds of women. Think of all the women who have had reputations ruined or who have been used and abused.
So compassionate.
Her making this statement is the most useful thing she’s ever done. In her life.
Thanks I guess. Lolol.
Funny, I don’t remember her covering up for Bob Packwood, but the (R) in front of his name made it too tough to . . . ‘handle’ . . . grope . . . grasp . . .
“One wonders how many women were victimized because Cokie went along with this for all those years.”
Cokie and hundreds of other women and men. Don’t single out Cokie. She’s one of the few that have opened up on the subject.
