She's got a lot of company among younger D's in the House. I'm glad she has the guts to speak up.

Pelosi's defenders have nothing to defend her with except smearing critics that voted for Hillary as misogynists. It is meant to distract from Pelosi's flaws.

We can't get at pResident Shitstain right now, but we can get our own house in order. I'm very disappointed in Leader Pelosi. Her statement on Conyers was utterly tone deaf and smacked of entitlement.

his resignation.

Demanding the resignation of a Democratic senator based upon reports of sexual harassment while not doing the same regarding our president is a double standard.

Just because we are Democrats does not absolve us of responsibility toward women who have reported they were sexually harassed Donald Trump.

has been accused of sexual harassment by 16 women and and has vilified his accusers.

Rice has called for the following persons to resign or step aside

Democratic Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (to make room for new leadership).

Attorney General Jeff Sessions (regarding stand on lawsuit about emoluments clause).

Sen.Al Franken: sexual harassment accusations

Rep. John Conyers: hostile workplace and sexual harassment accusations

I haven't found any record of Rice demanding the resignation of Donald Trump or addressing the issue.
