Nancy Pelosi says the accusations are "credible".

If what those women say is true, Conyers, IMO, should be thrown in jail.

Yet she doesn't want sexual predator Al Franken to resign?


The racism of the Democrats rears its ugly head again.

What does that mean about Republicans who voted for Trump in spite of his admitted sexual predation?

When Pelosi gave that 'due process' and legend/trailblazer answer in her interview I thought she was simply playing nice for the camera. Behind the seems I bet she was greasing the skids for him to have a more dignified exit... which he apparently does not want to accept.


I'm typically a dem and moderate to liberal on most issues but I think the CBC is playing with fire if they want to use political capital to cover Conyers. The Dems just had a campaign where millennial minorities (and specifically AAs) did not fall in line with the supposed minority leaders and vote the party line. They also saw the need for more outreach to white working class voters. If they go to the mat on this one I'm not sure they'll have support. I remember when Cunningham became a thorn in everyone's side and the CBC took forever to finally condemn him- and I can't remember if they finally did as a group or simply a couple of individuals.


I certainly think expulsion should be on the table for both him and Moore- if elected. Franken I'll wait to see how things fall but its not promising either. And FWIW- I thought Gingrich and Clinton should have both been out of work for their shenanigans in the 90s.

Nothing.

This is about John Conyers and his sexual assault of women who worked for him in the US Congress.

And Nancy Pelosi, BTW, is a Democrat.

That was directed at Love to Row, who was talking about Franken (not Conyers).

That has nothing to do with the voters either.

Franken is a US Senator however and not a part of the House. It should be Chuck Schumer calling for him to resign.

Yep. That's correct. It's not about Franken, either.

Pelosi grew a pair and is calling for Conyers resignation. This is good news.

Dems are trying to get him out, while GOP is trying to get pedophiles in.
