D.C.’s Perv Pol Protection Act

Camp Hill, Ala.: Rep. John Conyers’ sexual misconduct was uncovered when someone leaked documents, which also exposed the cesspool, which masquerades as a venerated legislative body, Congress (“Paid my accuser but I’m clean, says pol,” Nov. 22). What an outrage. What a scam. Legislators enacted a law in 1995, which facilitated their preying on colleagues and staffers, but made sure congressmen didn’t have to pay. The law incentivized predators to misbehave in ways that ranged from loathsome to criminal.

Consider how Congress grilled Major League Baseball players who were suspected of using steroids. The irony abounds. MLB fined and suspended steroid cheats, whereas the Congress-passed law insulated predators from punishment or penalty, and frustrated victims. The rules force them to trudge a labyrinth, and if they forged a resolution, they were muzzled.

Citizens foot the bill for this protection racket. It’s sleazier than gangs paying cops to look the other way. Who initiated this legislation, and who voted for it? They should be exposed and compelled to explain why they aided and abetted sexual misconduct. Congress has earned its low approval rating. Marc D. Greenwood

Jack, Jill & the Hill

Seaford, L.I.: Jack and Jill went up the Hill. Jill came down and is required to undergo counseling, mediation and a 30-day “coolingoff period” before filing a formal complaint of sexual misconduct. This is victim intimidation, plain and simple. Sexual misconduct by the “Fools on the Hill” is a national disgrace. If lawmakers need “mandatory training in appropriate behavior toward their staff” to elucidate right from wrong, how can they possibly be expected to represent us? And why does Jill need a 30-day cooling-off period when it’s Jack who is overheated? I can’t believe I’m asking these questions but such is the state of our Republic. Bob Bascelli

Nancy’s grace

Bronx: The Daily News highlighted an aspect about House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s character that gets very little attention: She corrects her mistakes and explains herself. What a contrast between how she responded to criticism over shielding Rep. John Conyers and how President Trump has dealt with Roy Moore. Yes, she’s liberal-wacko, biased, never truly admits being wrong and never says a mean word to anybody. Only, she’s learned how to change her position and explain why it’s the greater good. Would that she were third in line for the presidency again.

Precedent Franken

Manhattan: While there has been talk about evicting Sen. Al Franken for his actions, this would be an unwise decision based on the future evidence that other congressmen are guilty as well. The obvious actions by his peers should be not to open the Pandora’s box. Certainly many other public officials are guilty of even greater harassment of women. It would be wise for the Congress to let sleeping dogs lie. No one now knows the guilt of additional respected politicians. A mere statement of their guilt should not decimate the halls of Congress.

AWOL parents

Brooklyn: Megyn Kelly interviewed Keri Claussen Khalighi recently about her encounter with Russell Simmons. She was 17 years old and wanted to be a model. She says she went to dinner with him and went back to his apartment to look at videos. Brett Ratner was there, too. Simmons allegedly assaulted her while Ratner looked on and didn’t help her. Kelly should have asked her, “Where were your parents, siblings or friends to go with you? You were 17; he was almost twice your age.”

Guys don’t get it

Norwalk, Conn.: I read with amusement the responses from Voicers Bill, Glenn, Mark and Steve. Fellas, if the “entitled, sulky men’s club” needs a board of directors, you guys are it. This is so simple — keep your hands to yourselves. Stop saying awful things to women because you think you’re entitled to do so. And a special giggle to Voicer Steve Baker, who thinks his hideous outlook on women is solved by a mail-order bride. Hope you have money; they won’t be marrying you for your charming personality. Stefanie Pont

Dead-end Donald

Hudson, N.Y.: Why the hell would anyone think that this very sick excuse for a President would ever want to sit down with anyone to solve problems (“Dems call off sitdown with Trump after ‘Chuck and Nancy’ tweet,” Nov. 28)? Don’t any of you idiots in Congress realize you’re dealing with a mental incompetent whose only joy in life is tweeting and counting how many hairs he still has on his head? People around the world are making bets on how long Trump’s tie will be from day to day. I’m going on 79 next month and suggest that the jerk in the Oval Office be shipped to North Korea where he and Kim Jong Un can continue to banter with each other as to who is the greatest. Nicholas Cort

Holy Trump voters

Brooklyn: To Voicer Archbishop Justin Welty: You ask why Christians would support President Trump. As I am sure you already know, Catholics are against abortion, as are many other Christians. This is one out of many reasons I, a dedicated Catholic, support our sitting President. John Sherman

Raising a furor

Brooklyn: President Trump’s ethnic background: German. Loves making putrid racist jokes (“Racist shame,” Nov. 28). This time to Native American veterans about Pocahontas. His title now should be Nazi-in-chief. Surprised he doesn’t have a swastika in the Oval Office. Surprised he doesn’t have our wonderful military men and women goosestepping in parades (that’s next). Are these remarks funny about

ethnicity? Gail Halpert

Unfit for office

Elmhurst: Donald Trump can’t make it through anything without a stupid remark. He has demonstrated over and over again that he’s not fit to represent the United States of America, and much less be the President. Unlike President Obama, who had class and grace. Too bad Obama couldn’t run for office again. Obama and First Lady Michelle were never an embarrassment. When will they get him out of the White House?

Parenthood truth

Schenectady, N.Y.: Every word Voicer Alice Lemos wrote about Planned Parenthood is a lie. Millions of young girls/women and boys/men have had wonderful care and compassion, if needed, by the dedicated personnel who work at PP. Thank God for them. And, oh, why aren’t you screaming at the Park Ave. doctors who do many more abortions then PP’s 3%? Diane Hombach

Token for granted

Manhattan: I live in an elevator building (“Spliff decision,” Nov. 28). When we had a heavy pot smoker living next door, not only did the smell drift into my apartment, but it continued to flow toward the elevator down the hall. I found the odor offensive, but I worried about the effect on babies and young children. Why isn’t this being considered by the lawmakers who seem to be interested only in monetary gains for their areas? Marilyn Levin

Crazy streets out there

Brooklyn: To Voicer Frances Bentley: You complain that drivers in the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn are rude, don’t signal and don’t yield to pedestrians. Maybe people on Staten Island drive differently than in other parts of New York City, because the things you complain about are a problem all over NYC — not just in Sunset Park!

Thomson’s the man

Toms River: I have been a Yankee fan since childhood and believe that Rob Thomson would be the best choice as manager. He has been with the organization for many years. He can handle this job without a problem. Thomson’s been a baseball man, knows his way around and can handle the younger players without any problem with his experience. As for the Yankees winning, you have to be hungry, and this team wasn’t hungry enough.

Kinky tix

ANDREW HARNIK/AP Manhattan: You really made our day when we won two tickets to see “Kinky Boots”! The show is so uplifting and fun, our seats were fantastic and the cast amazing. Thanks a million, Daily News!
