Rep. Meeks on Conyers: ‘No One Is Exempt from Bad Behavior

EXCERPT:

HARLOW: "You serve together. He is, obviously, the longest serving member of Congress. Should he continue that service? Should he stay in Congress?" 
MEEKS: "Well, I think that, you know, no one is exempt from bad behavior. And I think that he's agreed -- and I see it -- clearly see we have Leader Pelosi has said that there will be an immediate ethics committee, a review. So I really think that probably the appropriate thing right now is he should step down as the ranking member of the Judiciary Committee and be subject to this ethics investigation so it can be determined whether or not there's a practice or pattern and then appropriate consideration should be made at that time as soon as the ethics committee finishes its review. I think that, you know, the -- what's going on exposes not just on Capitol Hill, but in America, a sickness that I think that we have in this country. And so this dialogue and conversation is good. And I hope that, on Thanksgiving tomorrow, there is strong conversation about the two, I think, important isms (ph) that are still taking place in America, and that's sexism and racism. And we need to have a dialogue. And we need to talk about it. And that's why I think what you're doing here -- but I hope that, because I said, it's in -- not only on Capitol Hill, not only in the news, not only in corporate America and in Hollywood, it's everywhere."
