title: JUST IN: JOHN CONYERS’ Attorney Suggests Nancy Pelosi Is A Racist For Saying Conyers Should Resign
text: Apparently, the arrogant 88-year-old Congressman John Conyers, who is being accused of sexual misconduct by several women, is not going to leave the halls of Congress on his own. Yesterday, Black Caucus member, Congressman James Clyburn (D-SC) claimed that the women accusing Conyers of sexual misconduct were  all white women  or racists. Today, Conyers black accuser is speaking out.More than a week after it was first reported that Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat from Detroit, settled a sexual harassment claim in 2015, the woman he settled with is speaking out.WATCH: "Can you tell me what you say John Conyers did when you were his employee?" @savannahguthrie asks Rep. Conyers accuser Marion Brown pic.twitter.com/2jsszMStWj  TODAY (@TODAYshow) November 30, 2017Brown s 2014 complaint, and a settlement she reached with Conyers in 2015, were first reported by BuzzFeed News last week. The report did not identify Brown, who signed a non-disclosure agreement as part of the settlement that prohibited her from speaking about it.The report included Brown s accusation that Conyers had fired her after she rejected his sexual advances. Since then, at least two other female former staffers have accused Conyers of sexual harassment. Conyers denies the allegations.Lisa Bloom, the high-profile attorney representing Brown, issued a statement Sunday calling on Conyers and the congressional Office of Compliance to release her client from the non-disclosure agreement.Brown said Thursday that she decided to break the agreement and speak out to be a voice for other women. I felt it was worth the risk to stand up for all the women in the workforce that are voiceless   ordinary women like myself with extraordinary challenges, working in the workforce, that are dominated by men,  she said.

Today, during his press conference in Detroit, Reed called out the idea that Nancy Pelosi would call for his client to resign while ignoring (white) Senator Al Franken (D-MN). During his press conferencet today Reed told reporters that Nancy Pelosi won t tell Conyers what to do. Reed then pulled the race card from the bottom of the deck, asking:  What is the discernible difference between Al Franken and John Conyers? Rep. Conyers' attorney on calls for resignation: "It is not up to Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi did not elect [Conyers] and she sure as hell wont be the one to tell the congressman to leave" pic.twitter.com/fxaRpDRQmh  NBC News (@NBCNews) November 30, 2017NBC Capitol Hill correspondent Kasie Hunt tweeted about Conyers belligerent lawyer:JOHN CONYERS' LAWYER says Nancy Pelosi won't tell him what to do: "What is the discernible difference between Al Franken and John Conyers?" he says  Kasie Hunt (@kasie) November 30, 2017Yesterday, Conyers arrogant and defiant lawyer tweeted that his client is  not going to be forced out of office :Attorney: Conyers  not going to be forced out of office  https://t.co/Np2bGmUGdI via @detroitnews  Arnold E.
