As Twitchy has reported, Rep. John Conyers, who is facing a number of sexual harassment allegations along with calls to resign, has been hospitalized for a “stress-related illness.” Reporters near the Conyers residence in Detroit yesterday were confronted by the Democrat congressman’s wife, Monica, who accused them of racism for pursuing the story in such a manner:

Monica Conyers had a suggestion for reporters converging on the congressman’s residence:

Journos near the Conyers residence were not greeted warmly:

“Go to his office, that’s where he’s a public figure. When he’s here, we’re a family. We’re a home,” she said.

Conyers said she wonders if reporters would “go and stalk white people’s houses.”

“Do you just come to the black neighborhoods and stalk our houses?” she said.
