Update: House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has had a change of heart regarding her colleague John Conyers - whom she recently praised as an "icon" who fought for civil rights and women's rights. A day after the Washington Post published a story about how Congressional Democrats were divided over the issue of whether Conyers should resign, Pelosi is saying that she now believes he should resign. As we reported below, Conyers was hospitalized in his hometown of Detroit earlier today, reportedly due to "stress". She called the allegations against her colleague "serious", "disappointing" and "very credible."
A day after reports emerged that Michigan Rep. John Conyers wouldn't seek re-election in 2018, ending a more than 50-year career in the House, local media reported that he had been hospitalized after returning to the Detroit area.
Conyers' office confirmed the congressman is hospitalized but did not say why or at which hospital. Political consultant Sam Riddle spoke to reporters Thursday morning and said Conyers was hospitalized due to stress. Riddle said he spoke to Conyers' wife, Monica Conyers, Thursday morning.
"I just spoke with Monica Conyers on the phone and we want you to know that the congressman is resting comfortably in an area hospital. He's doing OK, as well as he can be expected for a gentleman that's approaching 90 years of age," Riddle said. "The congressman's health is not what it should be and lot of that is directly attributable to this media assault."

What stands out to me is a 50 yea career in politics and at 90 wants more of the trough. Unbelievable indeed.
ReplyDeleteI'm sick (mentally if not physically) so I will go to the hospital where I won't have to answer any questions. After an appropriate amount of time I will announce that I can no longer fulfill my duties and resign. Classic face saving move of the useless pervert class.
ReplyDeletePeloski NEEDS to resign/retire as well, overdue as a matter of fact.
ReplyDeleteYa, and when this creep dies they will all cry and say what a great man he was.

ReplyDeleteIIRC, his wife was also in trouble recently.
The smartest thing she has ever said. Now it's time for her to resign.
ReplyDeleteHiding from charges in a hospital bed. Classic maneuver.
