John Conyers III Was Arrested in February, Accused of Stabbing His Girlfriend

By YAMICHE ALCINDORDEC. 6, 2017

WASHINGTON — John Conyers III, who was endorsed by his father on Tuesday to succeed him in the House, was arrested in February after his girlfriend suffered knife cuts during an argument.

Mr. Conyers, in an interview Wednesday, tried to head off a possibly disqualifying scandal just a day after his father resigned from Congress amid multiplying allegations of sexual harassment. As issues of sexual harassment and abuse roil Washington, any violent altercation against a woman could doom his effort to take the seat that his father held since 1965.

The younger Mr. Conyers said that the couple began arguing around 3 a.m. the day after Valentine’s Day and that after a physical fight, police arrested him on suspicion of domestic violence.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office later dropped the charges, but the girlfriend got a restraining order against Mr. Conyers, which remains in effect until March of next year, he said.

“She says I stabbed her, which makes no sense,” Mr. Conyers, 27, said. “I didn’t do this. She and I had a verbal altercation and that escalated. She pulled the knife on me. She was chasing me. I tried to take it from her. There was a struggle. I pinned her to the wall. She kept swinging and she cut herself.”

Conyers had his ride. Let the people decide in an open election.

OK, so he denies the charge.
Let me get this straight; living in sin with a deranged tramp qualifies you to create MY laws....how?

This young man has not shown the capacity to make wise choices. To induct him into the most powerful legislative body on earth would be a mistake of Darwinian proportions for our culture.

I submitted it for his review an hour ago. He will have to say something to justify supporting a violent criminal to take his place.

Stabbed by the son or groped by the father, take your choice.
