Conyers: ‘I Am Retiring Today’

Breitbart Video: During an interview with Detroit’s Praise 102.7 on Tuesday, Representative John Conyers (D-MI) announced he is retiring from Congress today and endorsed his son to replace him.

Conyers told host Mildred Gaddis that he believes his legacy won’t be tarnished or diminished at all by the allegations against him and said, “This too shall pass.” He then stated that he endorses his son, John Conyers III to replace him in Congress.

Later on, in response to Gaddis’ clarification on his plans, Conyers announced, “I am retiring today.” He thanked his supporters for all the support he’s given them over the years.  MORE HERE

  1. Detroit, where corruption, political patronage and nepotism prevails. Look at the elected officials and then look at the voters who benefit from government assistance.
    Hand it down from father to son and shove it to the US citizens.

    There’s a reason they call it detroilet.

  2. So when a politician is disgraced into “retirement” he retains the privilege and self-interest to appoint his own successor???!!!!
    The arrogance! Nepotism is acceptable?! How about we put velvet cuffs on those shackles for your ankles, your lordship.
    Cripes, what has happened to America?!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. Retiring today. Resigning in disgrace is more truthful. Icon of the Civil Rights struggle! Lying, cheating bastard is more like it. Will his Plantation Dwellers Elect his son? Can’t wait for that demonstration of swampy inheritance.

  4. Why don’t we just mount bayonets and march all these jerks into the Potomac?!
    McCain first, so he can set a slow pace acceptable for all these old flamers.

  5. “So when a politician is disgraced into “retirement” he retains the privilege and self-interest to appoint his own successor???!!!! ”

    Pretty much. Several cases of it, too. Even the las vegas mayor as an example. Goodman’s wife got the job when he quit. *eyeroll*

  6. There’s a chance here if Bannon can find a good, honest candidate and the GOP is prepared to ensure that Conyers reputation is destroyed along with the Democrats that hid his activities for decades that the seat could switch. That fallout could also influence the Senate race for Stabanow in 2018.

  7. We need to ensure Conyers is always referred to as “disgraced sexual assaulter Conyers” and always “forced to resign in disgrace”.

    We must always seize the language.

  8. Speaking of the Congressional Black Caucus, did anyone notice that towering intellect, former congresswoman Corrine Brown (D) FL was sentenced to 5 years in prison for her phony children’s fund scam.

  9. “I’m sure the Dems will make the election ‘special’.”

    remember jill stein’s vote recount of the 2016 election?

    There were more votes cast than registered voters. The recount was stopped before it was completed. Wonder why.

    “Voting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month’s presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News.”

    Corruption is a way of life for some.
