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
Like someone said about the Cummings hoopla, the only important words in this whole article are: John. Conyers. Funeral.
This being Halloween week there will be a lot of people in Grim Reaper costumes. You know Lewis ain’t going near any one of them.
Are there any Vegas odds on who’s gonna be next?
Had to get Trump’s ISIS victory off the front page.
People say that about everyone these days, but he had a known proclivity for 20-something (and older) female employees.
Boy that’s a lot of negative responses :)
At least I know there’s one person I’ll be remembered better than :)
Wasn’t his wife in jail at some point?
Well,Schitt's only in his 50s...but Weekend at Ruthie's is about 105.
Yep, prison ...for bribery.
My wife has pancreatic cancer. There are a lot of oncologists scratching their heads over RGB. The chemo will knock a healthy relatively young woman down for the count. Must be the young virgin hormones or something.

Like the tradition goes....someone needs to take the flowers off the casket, toss them into the crowd, to see who is gonna be next
My youngest son is finishing up his chemo treatments for colon cancer. I will keep your wife in my prayers.
One more leftist traitor gone to judgement.
RIP John Conyers maybe now you have the time to read the bill.

Decades of congressional do nothing.
Represented Detroit through the most horrible times.
Was married to Monica a convicted felon.
He had sexual abuse allegations, eventually resigned. And made way for Rashida Tlaib to take his seat unopposed.
There are some choice selections for death #3. I nominate Maxine Waters.
I will add you son to the list. It just sucks.
Maybe Santa Claus will be coming down the chimney this Christmas.
A website tracking the poor health and timely demise of leftists would get a lot of hits.
