This is not in any way to minimize the experience of women who were harassed, but it would be untrue to my own heart were I not to say that John Conyers was a good friend to me during my time in Detroit. I have known him to be a warrior for justice. I pray for him & wish him well

Consistency is one of the hardest things to achieve. “Nice men” can be sexual harassers too and don’t deserve protection or excuses. They broke the law.
