Woman Says Rep. Conyers Groped Her In Church
chicagotribune.com ^ | Dec. 5, 2017

A woman who says she worked for U.S. Rep. John Conyers for more than a decade says he slid his hand up her skirt and rubbed her thighs while she was sitting next to him in the front row of a church.

Elisa Grubbs made the allegation in an affidavit released late Monday by her attorney, Lisa Bloom. Grubbs is the cousin of another accuser, Marion Brown, who reached a confidential settlement with Conyers over sexual harassment allegations but broke a confidentiality agreement to speak publicly last week.

"Rep. Conyers slid his hand up my skirt and rubbed my thighs while I was sitting next to him in the front row of a church," Grubbs said. "I was startled and sprang to my feet and exclaimed, 'He just ran his hand up my thigh!' Other staffers witnessed the event."

She also said that she saw Conyers touching and stroking the legs and buttocks of Brown and other female staffers on "multiple occasions."

Grubbs said witnessing such harassment "was a regular part of life while working in the office of Rep. Conyers."

Conyers is making a statement about his future today on the Mildred Gaddis show, 1200 am, a local urban station in Detroit at 10:15 am, from his hospital bed I suppose. He’s been there since last week when the news broke with a “stress-related” condition. (Probably seeking refuge from Monica). I wonder how much that has cost taxpayers thus far. They put on a big rally for him yesterday at some big church in Detroit.

Good question. And do benefits extend to surviving spouse?

Well, when I was a kid I’d take a trip every summer down the Mississippi
To visit my granny in her antebellum world
I’d run barefooted all day long climbin’ trees free as a song
And one day I happened to catch myself a squirrel
Well, I stuffed him down in an old shoe box, punched a couple of holes in the top
And when Sunday came I snuck him into Church
I was sittin’ way back in the very last pew showin’ him to my good buddy Hugh
When that squirrel got loose and went totally berserk
Well, what happened next is hard to tell
Some thought it was heaven others thought it was hell
But the fact that something was among us was plain to see
As the choir sang “I Surrender All” the squirrel ran up Harv Newlan’s coveralls
Harv leaped to his feet and said, “Somethin’s got a hold on me”, Yeow!

Chorus:
The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They were jumpin’ pews and shoutin’ Hallelujah!

Well, Harv hit the aisles dancin’ and screamin’
Some thought he had religion others thought he had a demon
And Harv thought he had a weed eater loose in his Fruit-Of-The-Looms
He fell to his knees to plead and beg and the squirrel ran out of his britches leg
Unobserved to the other side of the room
All the way down to the amen pew where sat Sister Bertha better-than-you
Who’d been watchin’ all the commotion with sadistic glee
But you should’ve seen the look in her eyes
When that squirrel jumped her garters and crossed her thighs
She jumped to her feet and said “Lord have mercy on me”
As the squirrel made laps inside her dress
She began to cry and then to confess to sins that would make a sailor blush with shame
She told of gossip and church dissension but the thing that got the most attention
Was when she talked about her love life and then she started naming names

Chorus:
The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In that sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They were jumpin’ pews and shoutin’ Hallelujah!

Well seven deacons and the pastor got saved,
Twenty-five thousand dollars was raised and fifty volunteered
For missions in the Congo on the spot
Even without an invitation there were at least five hundred rededications
And we all got baptized whether we needed it or not
Now you’ve heard the bible story I guess
How he parted the waters for Moses to pass
Oh the miracles God has wrought in this old world
But the one I’ll remember ‘til my dyin’ day
Is how he put that Church back on the narrow way
With a half crazed Mississippi squirrel

Chorus:
The day the squirrel went berserk
In the First Self-Righteous Church
In the sleepy little town of Pascagoula
It was a fight for survival that broke out in revival
They was jumpin’ pews and shoutin’ Hallelujah!

Elisa Grubbs — no pic, but it’s a black-sounding name, and there are many black churches.

If she is black, that frees Conyers from racist charges (like Clyburn’s) that he only molested white women, and that it is only white women who are railroading him with their complaints.

I feel so much better about him now.

He groped her in the “church”?

I’m not sure where that is on a person.

Right next to the nave.

[Black icon Conyer’s buddies in the Congressional Black Caucus are pushing him to get out. They’re running scared.....the C/B/C does not want to be under a microscope.

Conyers is a founder......L/E needs to audit bank accounts of the Congressional Black Caucus (C/B/C).....and the office accounts of its members, for instance, Conyers.....and Clyburn.]

Bet they'd uncover a lot of stuff like that Florida rep that's heading to prison - Go Gata!!

Sounds like she might have been sitting right next to the knave.

Yup....the whole idea is to find out what these “black icons” have been doing with unlimited tax dollars.

Conyers is leaving a “valuable legacy” (smirk).

Every time these tolerant and compassionate liberal Democrats pop up about “working for their fellow man”.... Conyers wandering hands, his atomic energy penis and walking around Congress in his underwear......will come to mind.

Democrats are forever tarred by this Conyers creep.

He should still go to prison if he used OPM to pay off some woman.

He did not do anything but go under the dress looking for some hole-ee spirit.

She COULD sue the church for allowing Conyers the known pervert in the door?

Sadly the First Rezu-erection Church likely would go bankrupt?
