House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi defended embattled Democratic Michigan Rep. John Conyers Sunday, calling the 88-year-old congressman “an icon.”
NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Pelosi on “Meet the Press” Sunday whether Conyers, who faces sexual harassment allegations, should be “in or out” of Congress.
“We are strengthened by due process. Just because someone is accused — and was it one accusation? Is it two?” Pelosi replied. “John Conyers is an icon in our country. He has done a great deal to protect women — Violence Against Women Act, which the left — right-wing — is now quoting me as praising him for his work on that, and he did great work on that.”
The congresswoman continued on to say that she believes Conyers “will do the right thing.”
It was revealed last week that taxpayers footed the bill for a $27,000 settlement for a staffer of Conyers that claimed the Michigan Democrat made sexual advances on her and fired her after she wouldn’t “succumb” to them.
“In her complaint, the former employee said Conyers repeatedly asked her for sexual favors and often asked her to join him in a hotel room. On one occasion, she alleges that Conyers asked her to work out of his room for the evening, but when she arrived the congressman started talking about his sexual desires,” BuzzFeed revealed in its report. “She alleged he then told her she needed to ‘touch it,’ in reference to his penis, or find him a woman who would meet his sexual demands.”
The report said that four signed affidavits from former staff members said that Conyers made sexual advances on female staff.
Additionally, Melanie Sloan, a lawyer who worked with Conyers, said that she would encounter the congressman in his office “walking around in his underwear.” And a former staffer, who anonymously filed and then withdrew a lawsuit, said that Conyers touched her “repeatedly and daily” from May to to July 2016.
Conyers, the longest serving congressman, has denied all sexual harassment allegations against him.
The House Ethics Committee has launched a probe into Conyers’ alleged misconduct. The accusations against him come against the backdrop of a wave of prominent men being accused of sexual misdeeds including Democratic Sen. Al Franken, Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore and newsman Charlie Rose.

Democrat party is the Immunity party. The “Immunocrats” has a nice but disgusting ring to it.
The Republicans should be screaming what you posted. IF, and it’s a HUGE if, there’s a republican who has a clean closet. And the fact that no Republicans are condemning Conyers, or even Weinstein, yet they condemn Roy Moore, tells me there are no clean Republicans.
He is one, and, he does so.

How did you overlook Icon Congressman Gerry Studds?
Appears the "icon" is an oversexed manipulative con artist.
Doing great work on violence against women laws DOES NOT GIVE CONYERS A LICENSE TO DEMAND SEX FROM HIS STAFF.
One of his former employees recounted how “icon” Conyers repeatedly asked her for sexual favors and often asked her to join him in a hotel room.
She alleges Conyers asked her to work out of his room for the evening, but when she arrived the “icon” started talking about his sexual desires.
Conyers then told her she needed to ‘touch it, (his penis) and that she was to find him a woman who would meet his sexual demands.” (hat tip BuzzFeed report)
Pelosi’s turn ons - 88 year olds in their whitey tighties.
A Viagra bulge in his tighty-whiteys is NOT an Icon Pelosi.
Yes, I read this story. Oh man, she’s beyond bad.
First, he's a Republican. Game over. Resign now. Hanging is scheduled today. The trial is scheduled for tomorrow.
Second, the democRATS have their talking points on Moore whittled down to these few words: "He's a child molester." And yet, curiously, none of the accusations against him allege child molestation.
Funny how that works....
Defending bad people, as always. When does the bug-eyed monster retire?
Hollywood abusers got a pass from the FBI and the press because they had a "D" by their names, donated to liberals, and backed 'women's issues - meaning abortion' and fake 'laws' for women - - laws they never followed.
Pelosi is getting more delusional by the Day. She says she is for women but how is Conyers actions anything but anti women? Conyers has been in DC for 50 years and needs to be retired and possibly sued for his actions.
Hollywood abusers got a pass from the FBI and the press because they had a "D" by their names, donated to liberals, and backed 'women's issues - meaning abortion' and fake 'laws' for women - - laws they never followed. Congress gave themselves the same passes they gave Hollywood and the Press...
It's the called the Swamp for a reason... dark, dank and filled with creepy things.
Conyers at 88 is a perpetual sexual machine, baby.
I say he ought to donate his body parts to science.
The headline would be a riot:
“Black Icon donates his penis to the Atomic Energy Commission.”
ROTFLOL.
Hahaha! The LIB idiot “war-against’women” continues unabated. LOL.
And that is exactly the problem.
Botox seepage.
