Update: House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi has had a change of heart regarding her colleague John Conyers – whom she recently praised as an “icon” who fought for civil rights and women’s rights. A day after the Washington Post published a story about how Congressional Democrats were divided over the issue of whether Conyers should resign, Pelosi is saying that she now believes he should resign. As we reported below, Conyers was hospitalized in his hometown of Detroit earlier today, reportedly due to “stress”. She called the allegations against her colleague “serious”, “disappointing” and “very credible.”
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.”
