“You can’t call on Roy Moore to step down from the Senate race, you can’t say that Donald Trump should resign from the presidency as long as you’re circling the wagon for people like John Conyers,” Lis Smith, a Democratic campaign communications specialist, told The Daily Beast in a phone interview.

“Conyers coerced a female employee to engage in sexual relations,” Winnie Wong, co-founder of People for Bernie and a co-author of the Women’s March Unity Principles said in an email to The Daily Beast. “She rebuffed him. Was subsequently fired, then later silenced by OUR taxpayer money when she filed a complaint. There is testimony. There are receipts. This is a gross abuse of power. He should RESIGN immediately. AND APOLOGIZE.”
