I’m not sure enough people saw the importance of this terribly candid quote from Rep. Conyers’ lawyer. He’s defending the octogenarian from numerous allegations of sexual harassment, and this is what he said:
Attorney for Rep Conyers just brought up Trump allegations to me: "If we are talking about resignation & resigning over allegations then half the ppl in the House, half the ppl in the Senate, including the president of the USA would have to step aside, step down & or resign.”

Uh… OK.
Listen, if FIFTY PERCENT OF THE CONGRESS is guilty of sexual assault then THROW THEM ALL OUT. What the hell kind of defense is this? We can’t prosecute one guy because we’ll have prosecute ALL sexual harassers in the government? GOOD!!!! DO IT. Get it DONE.
Here’s the exact quote:
“If we are talking about resignation and resignation over allegations, then half the people in the House, half the people in the Senate, including the president of the United States of America, would have to step aside, step down and or resign,” Mr. Reed said.
Screw’em. Scumbags. I don’t care what party they’re in.
