Breaking news out of Michigan where we’re seeing reports that Rep. John Conyers, who is facing a number of sexual harassment accusations, has been hospitalized for “stress”:
That's according to Conyers' office which confirmed the congressman is hospitalized but did not say why or at which hospital.
However, political consultant Sam Riddle spoke to reporters Thursday morning. He said Conyers is hospitalized due to stress. https://t.co/8tdL64GObs

It’s the media’s fault, naturally:
Conyers' hospitalization is the fault of THE MEDIA! (the white media, btw)
"The congressman's health is not what it should be and lot of that is directly attributable to this media assault."https://t.co/fuvr3Mywgz— Sandy (@RightGlockMom) November 30, 2017
Conyers’ spokesman asked for “prayers,” and then he promised an oppo dump on one of the congressman’s accusers:
In @WWJ950 interview, Conyers spox Sam Riddle asks for prayers for his "swift recovery," says "more information on the latest serial accuser" will be released by Conyers team "later."
