House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) on Thursday said Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) should step down immediately amid allegations of sexual misconduct by former staffers.
I think he should resign. I think he should resign immediately, Ryan said during his weekly news conference. Ive just been briefed on the torrent of allegations, and I think he should.
Ryan said he watched an interview that one of Conyers accusers, Marion Brown, gave on NBC News Today on Thursday detailing the allegations that led to a settlement agreement between her and Conyers.
No one should have to go through something like that, let alone here in Congress, Ryan said.

(7,257 posts)Because there's quite a list of settlements here for workplace complaints against federal employees, not necessarily just senators and congressmen (264 over 20 years, according to WaPo).
Some may need some of that disinfectant of daylight, some may not be so damning. But I'd say there's a fair chance quite a few of them will be your buddies, so I look forward to your being consistent in future.
The couple of years before 2002 and 2007 look to have been a bit of a mess.
