Democratic Congresswoman Kathleen Rice stormed out of a meeting of the House Democratic Caucus Wednesday, after becoming “frustrated,” she says, with how her colleagues were responding to sexual harassment allegations made against fellow Congressman John Conyers.
According to The Washington Post’s Dave Weigel, Rice left the meeting and caught up with reporters outside, where she told the scrum that, “I don’t have time for meetings that aren’t real.”
Rice was one of two Democrat members of Congress to immediately call for Conyers’ resignation. Other Democrats, including the party’s minority leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, hemmed and hawed for days before finally declaring only Thursday that Conyers should step down.
Rice had strong words for her leader, accusing Pelosi of turning back the clock on feminism. She told the Daily Beast that Pelosi “set women back and, quite frankly, our party, back decades,” and that Pelosi’s Sunday morning comments were downright shameful
