Pepe at the polls

According to an affidavit filed by veteran voting rights activist Bartle Bull, who monitored elections in Mississippi at the height of the civil rights movement, the New Black Panther's directed racist comments towards white poll workers such as “you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker.”

Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) says those charges are “bull.” “They weren't intimidating anybody, they didn't try to suppress any votes,” said Brady.

Sure thing.

Conyers' wife is in the big house and he's leading the hearings (if there are any)?

I feel very reassured.

Not yet: In April 2009, one day after denying the relation, Conyers admitted she helped her brother, Reggie Esters, a convicted felon, obtain a city job. On June 26, 2009, Conyers pleaded guilty to accepting a bribe in the Synagro sludge hauling scandal. She faces five years in jail. On June 29, 2009 Monica Conyers officially resigned from the Detroit City Council, effective July 6.
