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.”

Constituents listening to the radio program: “’At’s right! We owe to John! He been so good to us! Keepin’ it real - keepin’ it real!” [stands up, arm raised, voice loud and proud] “The son must shine on the son! John Conyers III!”
“My legacy will continue through my children.”
Thanks a pantload there pops.
“...announced Tuesday that he will leave Congress immediately...”
Did he pay his coiffeur extre?
>>So he can just “endorse” (appoint?) his son?
**********************************************
or Grandson. Nepotism. Why quit the Gravy Train/s
oops, just read it was his son. sorry!
So, will the Blacks in his gerry mandered district actually vote for a half-breed?
Governor is actually a RINO.
Don’t come back.
“Oligarchy passed thru blood lines; ... Employment based ... on ‘bloodline’,: ... They consider themselves ‘Royalty’!!”
I guess he doesn’t understand that the “all men are created equal” phrase is referring to the fact that in America nobody is born into a position of power.
He’s an idiot. A horny idiot.
In the kind of machine conyers runs, an “endorsement” is kind of like the official anointing of a replacement for a mob capo. Opponents have a way of disappearing.
I heard they were putting his brother’s grandson up. Probably young enough to hold the seat for another 50 years. Disgusting.
How is the son’s sexual harassment record so far???
Since he wants to apppoint his son as his successor, it goes without saying.
By getting these few to step down they, both parties, are hoping this will go away.
With his record, is it his son?

“...he endorsed his son, John Conyers III, to replace him”
Do these imbeciles think they are royalty?
“Do these imbeciles think they are royalty?”
