New Conyers accuser: He stripped in D.C. hotel room
MSN ^ | 11/29/2017 | Ryan W. Miller

Posted on 11/29/2017 6:48:47 AM PST by MountainWalker

Another former staff member for Rep. John Conyers alleged Tuesday the Michigan Democrat made unwanted sexual advances toward her multiple times. Serving as a deputy chief of staff at the time, Deanna Maher, 77, said Conyers stripped in front of her in a Washington hotel room in 1997.

"I was absolutely shaking, and he took off his clothes," Maher told CNN. "Then I figured out, 'Oh my god, what did I do? How stupid at my age that I walked in and got myself into a situation like that.'"

Maher, who was in her 50s at the time, told the Associated Press she "felt honored" to attend a three-day Congressional Black Caucus event with Conyers, but later discovered they would be sharing a two bedroom hotel suite.

I’m 66 years old and I KNOW nobody wants to see me naked. What’s wrong with these people?

That’s what she contends - I have no personal knowledge of it. If you want to be a character witness for Conyers, you’ll probably regret it by the next news cycle.

when I arrived in Nashville for a concert, I found out the dimwit “nice” girl I was sharing a room with had said some dude could share with us. I said no effing way and as soon as he arrived at the airport I said, “you need to find a room”.

He did. These women are so effing dumb. PS I am female. Just not that stupid.

Yeah,,, bullcrap. I’ve known some actual “ladies”. And I know how they would have handled being surprised with the fact they are going to share a hotel room with a married man as some sort of fait accompli. I’ve also known a few golddigging whores. This one is clearly not in the lady category.

Sorry, Conyers sucks, but no sale.

She has her own credit card and a brain. She should have gotten herself her own room. Dim witted female.

I don’t doubt her accusations at all. I just don’t think she needed to say she was shocked to learn it was a 2 bedroom suite. As I said, she should have known.

It wasn’t normal, but his deniable plausibility of assuring privacy with her own bedroom may have been enough for her to feel there would not be any kind of situation like this. There’s a thin line between misplaced trust and naivety.

Please STOP attacking these women!

If you enter the room of a superior, boss, leader, or colleague it’s OKAY for them to strip naked in front of you?

Somehow it’s the woman’s fault?

Oh, it was years ago, so it’s too late to bring it up now? WHAT?

Better at the time, but okay to do so now.

The “nuts & sluts” attackers are always quick to attack these women, hmmmmm, I wonder why?????

If she were a gold digger, why would she wait until she’s almost 80 to come forward at a time when other women are making accusations about him? Maybe she’s not a lady by your definition, but that doesn’t mean she wasn’t a whore looking to sleep her way to the top but just a naive campaign worker.

Um, I never attacked this woman or any women over all these recent allegations. Maybe you mistakenly replied to me when you meant to reply to someone else.

Baloney. She shared a hotel suite with a married man and whether it was a surprise or not, she went along with it. I’ve known ladies, and I’ve known whores.
Like i said, Conyers sucks and i’m glad to see him go. But no sympathy for her whatsoever.

She stayed in his room for money reasons, career etc. Now she is talking for money reasons, settlements, etc.

That’s first ballot, down the checklist, hall of fame whore.

If it was your wife you’d walk straight down and divorce her for staying in his room. She isnt innocent.

faucetman, get real. You don’t go in men’s hotel rooms if you are a woman. Period.

Ladies just don’t go into hotel rooms with married men.
