RE: Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) Exposed In Congressional Slush Fund/Sex Abuse Scandal
Conyers is stepping down from the House Judiciary Committee.
Cernovich isn't alt-right, and the claim that he paid for them is a conspiracy theory with zero evidence.
Quote:After careful consideration and in light of the attention drawn by recent allegations made against me, I have notified the Democratic Leader of my request to step aside as Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee during the investigation of these matters.
I deny these allegations, many of which were raised by documents reportedly paid for by a partisan alt-right blogger. I very much look forward to vindicating myself and my family before the House Committee on Ethics.
To be clear, I would like very much to remain as Ranking Member. There is still much work to be done on core concerns like securing civil rights, enacting meaningful criminal justice reform, and protecting access to the ballot box.
These challenges could not be more pressing in the face of an Administration that cares little for the rule of law and a President whose actions and conduct cheapens our discourse every day.
But I have come to believe that my presence as Ranking Member on the Committee would not serve these efforts while the Ethics Committee investigation is pending.
I cannot in good conscience allow these charges to undermine my colleagues in the Democratic Caucus, and my friends on both sides of the aisle in the Judiciary Committee and the House of Representatives.

Quote:Right-wing activist Mike Cernovich on Sunday ripped Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) for calling him an “alt-right” blogger responsible for raising claims of sexual misconduct against the congressman.
“It’s kind of nice, it’s kind of gratifying that a member of Congress on the way down throws a shout out to Mike Cernovich,” Cernovich said in remarks live-streamed online, adding that he does not associate with the alt-right movement.

Conyers deserves "due process." But obviously, Republicans don't.
"...Her spin is all over the map. The clip picks up after she’s called for “zero tolerance” of sexual misconduct in Congress. What about John Conyers, retorts Chuck Todd? Hey, hey, hey, says Pelosi — the man’s an icon. There are only one or two accusers. And he’s entitled to due process. Uh, he settled with his accuser, Todd reminds her, and he got to hide that settlement. Why should he get more due process after that? I’m confident Conyers will do the right thing, she tries to reassure him. And what’s the right thing, Todd presses her? Whatever’s right under the facts, Pelosi says. Do you believe the accusers, Todd finally asks her — the fateful question as “Pervnado” sweeps across America. She won’t say yes...."

it's truly amazing how she became a "master legislator".....
there's no questioning her ability to swallow, then spit it out with a starry eyed gag reflex.....
that woman is every bit of what hill-lair-liars are all about.....
