A day after reports emerged that Michigan Rep. John Conyers wouldn't seek re-election in 2018, ending a more than 50-year career in the House, local media reported that he had been hospitalized after returning to the Detroit area.
Conyers' office confirmed the congressman is hospitalized but did not say why or at which hospital. Political consultant Sam Riddle spoke to reporters Thursday morning and said Conyers was hospitalized due to stress. Riddle said he spoke to Conyers' wife, Monica Conyers, Thursday morning.
"I just spoke with Monica Conyers on the phone and we want you to know that the congressman is resting comfortably in an area hospital. He's doing OK, as well as he can be expected for a gentleman that's approaching 90 years of age," Riddle said. "The congressman's health is not what it should be and lot of that is directly attributable to this media assault."
The 88-year-old congressman returned to Detroit this week amid sexual harassment claims from his former staffers.
One of the women accusing Conyers of sexual harassment spoke early Thursday.
Marion Brown described what she claims Conyers did to her while she worked for him.
"Some of the things that he did, it was sexual harassment," she said. "Violating my body, propositioning me, inviting me to hotels with the guise of discussing business, and then propositioning for sex. He just violated my body. He has touched me in different ways, and it was very uncomfortable and very unprofessional."
Conyers settled a sexual harassment claim with Brown back in 2015.
Buzzfeed reported last week that Conyers had used taxpayer money to pay settlements to several former staffers who accused him of sexual harassment.
Lotta Hospital time coming for Dems methinks...
Hopefully his Obamacare payments are up to date with all them rate increases
I'm sure he's a model patient...
Alla dem hoes be crayzee an' sheeyit. Yo, nurse bitch, gimme mah meds - an' flash me sum skin when ya do, bitch!
Knock knock knockin' on satan's door.
They claim to be compassionate then slaughter millions of babies. They claim to support women then abuse them in private. They claim to support minorities then they keep them locked in poverty and welfare. Everything they accuse others of they are themselves in spades. Democrats, liberals, progressives, are rotten people to the core. Hypocrites, every stinking last one of them.
Leave those nurses alone jerk.
I certainly hope they've placed him in a "iconic" hospital bed deserving of his stature! ;-)
Ah, the old Jesse Jackson Jr. trick. Eyes sick, u should feel sorry fo me. Eyes too sick fo court indictment and eyes a victim.

Drain ALL the Swamps.
of course..its the media's fault.
every prisoner is innocent.
i did not expect ANYTHING other than rank cowardice and that's what we got.
Does this mean no more future reparation bills coming from him? Who will lead the charge?
Prolly the Premium bill snapped his weak will.
Mine was only a 50% increase, by the only provider available.

You are supposed to feel sorry for him. John McCancer modis operendi.
Germany sent a 94 yr old concentration camp medic to jail for 4 years. No reason why this guy can't do 4 for for sexual assault.
Die you fuckers....
Shoulda done what Weinstein did, check into Rehab for a week -- PRESTO! -- I is kured!
Alternatetively, try hiding UNDER the hospital bed! :>D
At least the staged Vegas shooting is off the talk block. Way to go re-directors!
ps.....even though these were red neck country music fans, at night, in Vegas, at an all night country music concert.....NOT ONE single 'victim' had a single drop of alcohol in their system. Why? Crisis actors are stricly forbidden to drink on the job.
Ha ha ha yeah baby.
Probably hoping for a sponge bath from one of those hottie nurses!
But he's an iconnnnnnn................
At Hells Gates ....... lol

Hospitalized due to "Media Assault"

Got triggered by a white person and needed to be taken to the hospital -- stat!
Franken Defense: I'm soooooooooo sorry.
Conyers Defense: I'm soooooooooooo sick.
aka the "poor me" and "he's suffered enough" reputation re-building PR strategy.
Lol, that damn viagra............
If he has Obama care, he's screwed
his nurses better watch out for the fickle finger
The black man checks into the hospital as he sexually assaults your women.
~ old polish proverb
his favorite hospital is named "grabass general".
pimp down, repeat, pimp down..
#winning
Media assault...LOL
Receiving the best medical care my tax dollars can provide for. Meanwhile, I'm seeing a 52.7% premium increase with all out of network care coverage eliminated. John Conyers can go play with his wrinkley old dick in front of as many opiod whores as he wants to - I don't care one bit. But I will never forgive anyone in congress for awarding themselves priveledges that they force me to pay for. They can all be tossed into a wood chipper.
make sure you freeze em first..
a lot less messy
Unfortunately he's not in a prison hospital where he fucking belongs. 50 fucking years in congress !!! That's hilarious . This dirty old fucking racist child molester has been in power during the entire ghettoization of Detroit !!! Ha ha ha ...he was there the very first day that the fate of a once awesome American city began its path to complete collapses AND THE FUCKING IDIOTS IN DETROIT KEPT VOTING FOR HIM!!! Leave it to the people of Detroit to figure out a way to continue to make their lives worse and worse !! I hate to say it but the City of Detroit deserves this rotting old molester and this rotting old molester deserves Detroit. They will all rot in hell.
Nigga down. Nigga down.
