Debbie Dingell: I Find The Conyers Allegations ‘Disgusting and Deeply Disturbing’

RUSH EXCERPT:

DINGELL: "We’re still a nation of laws. I find that the allegations are disgusting and deeply disturbing. As we unfortunately saw last week we have to be careful. If you’re working for a media company or private business, you’ve got a little more ability to move quicker. Ethics committee is what’s there, but I think it needs to go to the ethics committee. It needs to be innocent until you’re proven guilty but there’s certainly a lot of very disturbing allegations and ethics committee and the leadership of the Republican and Democratic Party have to make sure that this moves quickly, and people are stepping up to what’s here, because it isn’t okay, it isn’t okay anywhere and David, what’s really bothering me is we’re focused on Hollywood, focused on Congress, focused on the media. We’re not going to get real change or what’s really wrong in this country is the waitress, the factory floor worker, the lawyer trying to make partner, the doctor, even a hospital. I cannot tell you, it has been hundreds of women in the last week who have come up to share their story, and we’ve got to figure out yes, Congress needs to act, what we’re going to do next week isn’t enough but we have to act so women are protected across the country at every level."
