A second Democratic lawmaker called on Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., to step down Tuesday over sexual misconduct allegations hours after Conyers' former deputy chief of staff detailed three occasions when he made unwanted advances toward her.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., said in a statement that while she had looked up to Conyers for decades, "I believe these women, I see the pattern and there is only one conclusion – Mr. Conyers must resign."

Jayapal joined Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., as the only two lawmakers who have said Conyers should resign from Congress. In a statement of her own last week, Rice called the allegations against Conyers "as credible as they are repulsive."

The Rats are only calling for the head of Conyers in the hope that his head will call off the hounds, hounds that will otherwise catch the rest of them.

In other words, we can see that Conyers is the proverbial slowest of the runners being chased by the bear.

Every DEMOCRAT knows CONYERS is a dirty old man. No excuse to feign surprise.

The only reason the LIB nitwits are suggesting this is an attempt by them to derail any calls by voters to make the list abusers who made criminal payments public. DIMs/LIBs are anti-Rule of Law.

Perhaps Kwame Kilpatrick can take over his seat. Can you claim a permanent residence location outside the federal prison?

Make him resign for using taxpayer money to pay off the women. They make everyone who used taxpayer money to pay off their accusers resign.

The payoff is an admission of guilt.

I agree. Fraud, waste and abuse. Misappropriation of government property. Namely treasury money.
