I am retiring today,” Conyers said, in what is effectively a resignation. “I want everyone to know how much I appreciate the support that – the incredible, undiminished support I’ve received across the years from my supporters, not only in my district but across the country, as well.”

Conyers has been in the U.S. House for 53 years – the longest-serving African-American in history.

The 88-year-old lawmaker made the announcement Tuesday morning during a disjointed phone interview on The Mildred Gaddis Show, 102.7 FM, in which he said the accusations against him will “absolutely not” affect his legacy.

“My legacy can’t be compromised or diminished in anyway by what we’re going through now. This too shall pass. I want you to know that my legacy will continue through my children,” Conyers said.

I'm sure the women he abused are pleased to hear that his legacy is intact.

Meanwhile, your party is four square behind Roy Moore and Trump. You must be proud.
