Washington Free Beacon -- Another Democrat in Congress is standing behind alleged sexual harasser Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and refuses to urge him to resign.
Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was on MSNBC Thursday dodging the “should he step down” question and instead remained defiant on behalf of her pal:
“I believe the decision to go or come will be the decision of that member. As I understand it, Mr. Conyers is with his family. I’m praying for them. I’m praying for the women to make their decision. But all of those decisions are at the behest of the member and I expect that to be the case here.”Here’s where MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin gets some credit for pressing his Democrat guest to answer why she is so insistent on covering for Conyers. He reminded her about the $27,000 “settlement” Conyers paid in public funds as hush money to one of his victims and how that seemed to him like an admission of guilt.
“Are you concerned at all about your party no longer being able to profess to be the party of women if it doesn’t force a congressman like John Conyers out?” Melvin asked.
After recovering from laughter, Jackson Lee changed the subject to Republicans Roy Moore and Donald Trump and the “appalling” allegations against them. She also veered off into the topic of the sexual abuse against black women going back to the founding of the country. Deflection and race card — two great tastes!
Melvin interrupted the strange rant to inform her that while they were talking, her friend and colleague House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) had called for Conyers’ resignation, prompting the host to ask again if Jackson Lee was still willing to hold her position. She answered in the affirmative.
The congresswoman stressed that she will leave it up to Conyers to make his own decision and resolved to get back to fighting for women — and corrupt congressmen, apparently.
Blog Author's Comments: All you have to know are two things. They are both Democrats and Blacks. No matter how bad the behavior is, the politicians will stand with their fellow party members and black people will excuse any and all behavior just because the perpetrator is black. This is how Obama got away with all the illegal things he pulled, using the platinum race card.
Sheila Jackson Lee is certainly not known for her brain power. He should have asked her about the American flag on Mars she thinks Neil Armstrong put there. She is defending the indefensible, Democrats are experts at this. And usually they go off on pointless, unintelligible rants against Republicans. She is trying to pretend her position isn't about skin color, sad and pathetic to watch. We witness more profound comments from one of the Einsteins of the House.
