NPR’s Cokie Roberts: Press Corps Covered Up Congressional Sexual Misconduct ‘For Years’

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.

“She’s one of the few that have opened up on the subject.”

After keeping her mouth shut for decades. Color me unimpressed.

You gotta wonder at the empty-heads of these liberals.....always bleating about women’s issues.

Did Cokie ever consider how many women could have been spared the grief of being molested by these Congressional creeps if she’d spoken up about what she knew?

[Vlad The Inhaler]

Now they’ve got 126 year old Cokie Roberts on their trail!!!

So cooook-e was an enabler for years. What a woman-hater. What a hypocrite. Whyat a louse.

As I wrote on an earlier posting on this topic, remember, Mike Wallace stated he would let American forces get ambushed in a war before he would "break character" from being a reporter and warn the Americans.

In the same manner, Cokie Roberts would let women get groped or worse before she would "break character" from being a reporter and warn woman about Rep. Love-in-an-Elevator.

Let's not forget, folks, that Cokie is the Godmother of Fake News.

On Jan. 26, 1994, World News Tonight anchorman Peter Jennings in New York switched to Roberts in Washington for a discussion of President Clinton's State of the Union address delivered the previous night. Jennings said Roberts was ''at Capitol Hill'' and Roberts was seen standing in front of the Capitol wearing an overcoat. Roberts, apparently pressed for time, did the standup from a studio a few blocks away.

She can really give the Bill Clinton stinkeye:

Thank gutsy young Ronan Farrow.

Investigate journalist. Attorney. Son of Woody Allen.

[Secret Agent Man]

They are continuing to cover up the female sexual harassment and abuse that goes on.

They won’t turn on their vagina buddies.

Yet Trump is such a danger to all women that this should be treated like a national emergency and tens of thousands of women should March in Washington and maybe even burn it down. The left are such hypocrites.

[fhayek]

This ‘insightful’ journalist doesn’t even realize how damning every syllable she utters is.

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Good one!

Now, an important issue: would you say that your quip was sarcastic, or sardonic? I’m often confused on that point. (Regardless, it was a good one — though it could be a tad more caustic.)

[Don Corleone]

” Which “him” is Roberts referring to? Conyers? Franken? Are there others?

ANY of them. All sleazebags.

[RegulatorCountry]

My guess he’s on that warpath due to undisclosed “demons” of his own. With that father of his, is it any wonder? Truth will out.

[Robert DeLong]

Ny thoughts exactly.

[atc23]

The real “War on Women” is led by other women for career and personal advantage and advancement. Women hate other women

[combat_boots]

Truth

[Crucial]

This coming from someone who doesn’t understand boundaries like when she grabbed Ross Perot to ask him a question.

[taterjay]

The big story is not that Hollywood men, Congressman, and other men in power are gropers, but that FEMALE journalists, Hollywood FEMALES, and Wives of Congressmen and Presidents ignore and shut down women who were victimized.

[McGruff]

...“for years” the female press corps has covered up sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill...

Et Tu Cookie? I don't know how these people can sleep at night. Must be with alot of liquor.

[katykelly]

Well , if cokie knew about it , then you can bet her husband knew about it . He’s also a “ journalist “ .
