Pelosi, Ryan, call for Conyers to quit

It's time, John. Oh, when is Detroit going to remove those John Conyers Boulevard signs?

From the Detroit News:

House Speaker Paul Ryan and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi called on U.S. Rep. John Conyers to resign in the wake of what Pelosi called "very credible" accusations of sexual misconduct.

Ryan said he had just been briefed on the torrent of allegations against Conyers and heard what Conyers accuser Marion Brown said on NBC on Thursday.

"No one should have to go through something like that, let alone here in Congress. Yes, I think he should resign. I think he should resign immediately," said Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican, at a Thursday press conference.

Pelosi, the California Democrat, called the allegations against Conyers "serious, disappointing and very credible."

She is either very confused or received pushback from other Democrats because on Meet The Press Sunday, Pelosi called Conyers "an icon" and praised his efforts to "protect women." Except for those times, apparently, when Conyers was attacking them.

Meanwhile Conyers, who is 88, is under hospitalization for what a longtime family friend is calling "tremendous stress."
