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.

...and Coko didn’t say nuthin’ either.
Ever since the media gave the lie that Billy Jeff was being tried for adultery rather than perjury (the real charge). I learned that they weren’t to be taken at face value.

How is that relevant to my question as to why the conservative media gets a pass on these issues? They have reporters there hearing the same stories but they don’t break these stories in their publications or broadcasts. Are we to believe that the Big Hollywood reporters at Breitbart didn’t know about Harvey Weinstein? Why did they not report this open secret?
I used to disagree with the Left, now I hate their guts and want them destroyed and humiliated to the point they consider hari kiri.....
These are the same worthless pieces of garbage who ATTACKED and LIED about our President whilst IGNORING the assaults that went on in front of them.....F’ them all
No joke, and without a doubt she knew about it and would still vote for every damn one of the pervs.
Are there others??? Have you forgotten the Joe Scarborough, John Kasich and others who were revealed to be involved in sex orgies at the time of the Gary Condit / Chandra Levy investigation? That was soooo disgusting. The press just let it all die.
That was my first thought when I read her comment. She may have been able to prevent a lot of young women being groped or worse. Shame on you Cokie.
