Americans are enraged over taxpayer money being used to pay for the sins on Congressmen.
It was revealed Monday evening that one Congressman who settled a harassment suit in 2015 was Democrat Rep John Conyers. According to affidavits, Conyers used taxpayer money to fly women into D.C. to meet with him in hotel rooms!
The documents were first provided to BuzzFeed News by Mike Cernovich.
Buzzfeed reports:
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.”
Buzzfeed also reported that staffers were tasked with flying women in for Conyers using Congressional resources!
Former employees also said that Conyers made it very clear that if they performed ‘personal favors’ it would lead to salary increases and promotions. It was well known Conyers was having affairs with multiple female staffers. He often made sexual advances towards women and grew angry if they brought their husbands around.
Even more egregious, Conyers’ victims were paid a settlement in exchange for their silence out of taxpayer money after a long, daunting process.
John Boehner was House Speaker when these settlements were made. Buzzfeed reached out to his spox and they have not responded with comment.
AMERICANS ARE MAD AS HELL!
Angry Americans savaged Conyers on his last tweet where he said, “I miss Barack Obama”.
Of course you do. Your misconduct is about to be exposed to the world.

I am in awe of the brave women that spoke out against powerful men today. None of these victims had access to a fair complaint process because women don’t have real power at work unless they’re in leadership or in a union.
Charlie Rose and John Conyers should resign immediately. https://t.co/zlglRSqWgv

“When you make private settlements, it doesn’t warn the next woman or the next person going into that situation.”
John Conyers-the longest serving Member of the House of Representatives-is added to the list of sexual predators. https://t.co/T8hgKsz6Bd
