settlement with a woman who accused him of sexual misconduct. he insists he did nothing wrong but says the settlement did happen. the detroit free press called on him to step down saying even if coniers could prove that he did not make inappropriate advances towards his former staffer, there s no defense for having used dollars from his congressional office to settle a claim. elise jordan, i turn to you good for the detroit free press for saying he should resign. why aren t democratic leadership where are the cries from other democrats saying this is insane that taxpayer dollars are going for these cover-ups. because those democrats can t scream that, nor can republicans, because the system is built to take this money from this fund. while conyers may be morally corrupt that he took the money, the system is built that way. many people voted for president trump because they said i m sick of washington, i want something else. this kind of congressional fund is the exact kind
beautiful woman. clearly you all didn t buy into the presence of what a special time it is for women in america yesterday. there s a pathology at work here that we see played out again and again and again with powerful men. and i don t know how to describe it except to say they want what they want when they want it. and i pointed this out to a friend of mine yesterday, a male friend, and he said and how they want it. and this has played out over a long time. in a culture that got embedded in the system, especially in the world of the media. but any world that involves powerful men and a young woman who as stephanie said was just looking to get a foot in the door. then they step inside the doror of an apartment like this and get an ugly look down the rabbit hole of what this world looks like. one of the things that sarah gordon told us was that among the interns on the show, this had become a kind of joke.
before we go, on this start again. before we go, on this thanksgiving eve, i want to share this. i am thankful that last night i enjoyed a pre-thanksgiving west indian goat, that s right goat, for a thanksgiving feast with the women of leak and watts at a home for pregnant and young moms in the foster system. these incredible young new yorkers go big and they give big and it reminded me that the first thanksgiving brought together people of different worlds and we talk all about thanksgiving dinner and fighting with our in-laws and sister about politics and sports and work, it s not just about your immediate family, it is about people coming together. so invite someone into your home that s a new voice, a new mind, a new neighbor, because that is what we should be thankful for and last night i was reminded that the best way to give thanks is to give back. so thank you and happy
