Another day, another sleazeball is outed.

Michigan Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat and the longest-serving member of the House of Representatives, settled a wrongful dismissal complaint in 2015 with a former employee who alleged she was fired because she would not “succumb to [his] sexual advances.”

Documents from the complaint obtained by BuzzFeed News include four signed affidavits, three of which are notarized, from former staff members who allege that Conyers, the ranking Democrat on the powerful House Judiciary Committee, repeatedly made sexual advances to female staff that included requests for sex acts, contacting and transporting other women with whom they believed Conyers was having affairs, caressing their hands sexually, and rubbing their legs and backs in public. Four people involved with the case verified the documents are authentic.

Conyers confirmed he made the settlement in a statement Tuesday afternoon, hours after this story was published, but said that he "vehemently denied" the claims of sexual harassment at the time and continues to do so.

DETROIT (AP) — Longtime Michigan Rep. John Conyers acknowledged Tuesday that his office settled a harassment complaint involving a former staffer but said he “vehemently” denies the allegations against him.

His office “resolved the allegations” ... “for an amount that equated to a reasonable severance payment,” the 88-year-old Detroit Democrat said in a statement.

The leaders of the House Ethics Committee said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that the panel was opening an investigation into the allegations, including whether Conyers used official resources for impermissible personal purposes.

Conyers said he would fully cooperate.

BuzzFeed reported that Conyers’ office paid a woman more than $27,000 under a confidentiality agreement to settle a complaint in 2015 that she was fired from his Washington staff because she rejected his sexual advances.

BuzzFeed also published affidavits from former staff members who said they had witnessed Conyers touching female staffers inappropriately — rubbing their legs and backs — or requesting sexual favors. One former staffer said one of her duties was “to keep a list of women that I assumed he was having affairs with and call them at his request and, if necessary, have them flown in using Congressional resources.”

Assuming the claims are true, he's pretty vile.

Now, let's get rid of other politicians with systemic patterns of sexual harassment and assault. Like, say, the one who bragged that women "just let you" grope them and has 16 women accusing him of sexual assault.

I had to give your Whataboutism a like. I never hit the like button, but yours is a pretty souless/inane deflect. Props for that.

Well, there is a tremendous amount of hypocrisy to cheerleading the downfall of one sexual harasser while relentlessly excusing the one who's currently President.

Besides, do you think we're stupid? Everyone here -- everyone -- knows that the only reason you're posting this is because there's a "D" in front of Conyers' name. He's scum, but don't act as if you're doing this out of some sincere concern about women or political ethics.

Well, cheering things he does knowing what he's done to women is a pretty good start.

You say you're not a hypocrite? Then say Trump has committed numerous counts of sexual harassment. Say it. Don't weasel out of it, don't try to explain why it's not as bad because X or Y... say it.

Lmao.

You wouldn't have to back down so pathetically on your claims if you didn't partake in out and out hyperbole. If you're gonna' shitpost be honest. A lot of chumps around here can learn from this.
 
derpsplaining the difference between "but" and "and"....its obvious where your allegiance lies.

nice try pretending like you care about the victims. not fooling anyone.

My argument is based on how eagerly you promote Trump knowing what he has done and curiously refuse to condemn his behavior. You're perfectly fine with sexual harassment as long as it's committed by someone on the Republicans' side.

If you're not? Then say Trump sexually harassed women. Say it, coward. Say it.
 
Who cares about a congressman anyway. Off with his head. I can find 5 good replacement congressman sleeping in front of my local liquor store.

Did you fools think you could make it an entire day without the mention of a sitting congressman sexually assaulting and using legal means of institutional cover-up? You thought that shit would blow over right? Maybe hope for a mean drumpf tweet? I mean, were you pathetic clowns even going to post that shit? No, because he's a democrat.

Here's a second victim of Conyers. Get your "..but drumpfs" ready.

Another woman alleged Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) sexually harassed her, BuzzFeed News reported Tuesday.

A former scheduler for the congressman alleged that in 2016 he rubbed her shoulders, kissed her forehead and attempted to hold her hand. The woman attempted to file a sealed lawsuit against Conyers in February, but abandoned it the next month, according to BuzzFeed.

I'm fine with talking about Conyers' sexual assault. It's reprehensible behavior, and he should be out.

I notice you're still dancing around saying that Trump committed sexual harassment and assault, though. It's one sentence that will solve all accusations of hypocrisy. Say it.

working 60 hour weeks bro, dont get the luxury of trolling the news for creepers. Besides, all I have to do is follow the POTUS on Twitter if I wanna see how far sexual assault can get somebody.
 
OP has shown tons of concern in the Roy Moore thread.....

/s

OP - Conyers should be out, I don't care if you're a Republican or Democrat this shit needs to stop. I don't want my kids dealing with it.
