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.”

“If my grandson stabbed her, she must have had it coming. He will make a fine congressman.”
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
“The bitch set me up...”
Please tell me that this isn’t a real quote!
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.
Clearly making a strong case for being a congresscreep.
There was a you tube video up of her talking about stabbing ,but started then technical difficulties now does not seem to be there will keep searching stumbled on it while watching him rapping some smack.
“Perfect credentials for office.....”
Yep
Quote “she self stabbed herself”.............
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
Well, at least he has a record to run on...
The Conyers legacy: Detroit in ruins.
Chances for getting elected in Wayne County for him just went way up.
Stabbed by the son or groped by the father, take your choice.
