WASHINGTON — Representative John Conyers Jr., who faces allegations that he sexually harassed former employees, announced Tuesday that he will leave Congress immediately, and he endorsed his son, John Conyers III, to replace him.
Mr. Conyers, the longest-serving current member of the House and the longest-serving African-American in history, called into a local radio show on Tuesday to break the news.
“I am retiring today,” Mr. Conyers said from a hospital in Michigan. “I am in the process of putting together my retirement plans. I will have more on that soon.”
He continued to deny that he has harassed any of his former employees and said he did not know where the allegations came from.
“My legacy can’t be compromised or diminished in any way by what we are going through now,” Mr. Conyers said. “This too shall pass. My legacy will continue through my children.”

You are entitled to hope.
Those bros hang together. They dont care if he was a convicted murderer. Does Marion Barry ring a bell ?
Ian "Bugsy" Conyers is deeply saddened.
I am impressed at how spry he seems. I didn’t know he was 88 until this scandal kicked up. How is he supposed to get dates now that he isn’t a congress critter?
“This too shall pass. My legacy will continue through my children.”
Heaven forfend!
I hear that a a public service, Conyers is leaving his penis to the Atomic Energy COmmission.
I’m impressed that his “junk” is still operational.LOL
His son??
SSDD.
Same ****. Different Dem.
Hmm. In wake of harrassment claims. Above the fold? For the non reading headline dependant
As if he were the one harrassed
“Ian “Bugsy” Conyers is deeply saddened”
Took them a week to iron out details
He ought to leave it to the CDC.
Does Marion Barry ring a bell ?

DC is spending money on a ‘statue’ for Berry and also spending money to tear down statues for patriots.
I will (sorta) admit Barry did a lot of good for DC (and himself) and a statue or name a few buildings after him may be (somewhat) fitting
BUT
No matter ALL the good he may have done for DC he is still a convicted - on tape - crackhead.
Even Robert E Lee had a distinguished career prior 1861 yet CW is ALL they ‘hang’ on him.
his legacy will continue with his kids?
creepy pic of son, wouldn’t surprise me if his continuing “legacy” with his kids - shifted from abuse of women to men or “trans”
Oligarchy passed thru blood lines; Heaven forbid !
Not recommended, as evidenced by the Klinton "blood line", with the DOOFUS who can't keep an meaningful job, or 'earn a living' !
Employment based not on character, but on 'bloodline',: I thought that got eliminated due to the American Revolution;
They consider themselves "Royalty" !!
THAT part of Michigan is the original swamp in more ways than one. To expect good from that area is crazy.
With Conyers gone I think Franken resigns by the end of the year to be replaced by Keith Ellison. And then the knives will come out for Moore.
Well, he is a "black icon."
He should leave his gonads and his penis to the Martin Luther King Museum section:
"Women Who've Been Had By Black Icons."
Governor is a Republican
He can’t even walk straight.:)
