Former Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the longest-serving African American member of Congress, died Sunday at age 90, according to multiple reports.
Conyers, a veteran of the Korean War and participant in the Civil Rights movement, was co-founder of the Congressional Black Caucus and chaired the House Oversight Committee from 1989 to 1995. He also introduced the bill establishing a national holiday commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.
Conyers resigned from his Detroit-area seat in 2017 after serving for over 50 years amid multiple allegations of sexual harassment from young female staffers. His grandnephew Ian Conyers lost the 2018 Democratic primary to now-Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.).
DEVELOPING
At least he was just a race baiting huckster out to feather his nest unlike Talib who wants to destroy the nation, black and white.
Looks like he wasn’t able to keep the fiefdom in the family.
BWAAAHAHAHA!
Now thats good right there.
Wanna bet they’ll find a way to fit in a few lines about the contract on Dead Al Big Daddy in the meantime?
I am wondering when it starts t hit home to these scums that maybe someone upstairs is getting sick and tired of their BS?
When’s it hit home to them that maybe..just maybe they better start doing their job instead of being the brain child operation of the Washington DC mafia.
Another long self-serving Jackass. Too bad he did not die earlier then he would have been the first black to lay in state. I guess another big state funeral will happen.
How long will he be allowed to stink up the Rotunda?
May his soul and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Will it be a no-pants funeral?
Conyers, Cummings, Al Bahgdadi.
Congress woman Hill resigning.
It's been an interesting week.
Is God clearing out the old dead wood?
As CORRUPT as any politician could ever hope to be.
Good riddance to bad garbage.
WOW i don’t think i’ve ever gotten so many responses to a post.
This guy must have been AWFUL!
He resigned in 2015. He was not currently a member of Congress, unlike Elijah Cummings
The questions begs...
* Will it be in Detroit.
* Will it be like Aretha Franklin's w/ Clinton, Sharpton & Jessa Jackson coming into town for attendence.
* Will Obama, Holder etc show....
I bet Howie Carr's who's not coming down for breakfast pool now has Jimma Carter for the third....
WTF? Does a major publication think they all look alike?
Auntie Maxine!
I’m waiting for the collective Congressional Black Carcass.
Essence Magazine Deletes ‘RIP Rep. Elijah Cummings’ Tweet With Picture of John Lewis
He could best be described as the ultimate state of zoogleal slime floating on the surface of the cesspool.
(yes, zoogleal slime is a real thing)
