The Right is calling for Congress to end secret payments for bad behavior
It’s morals run amok in some corners of Congress. And, guess what? Taxpayers get to foot the bill to hush it up. A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes a look at the secret settlement fund.
Opinions from the Right:
From The Detroit News: Voters were cheated when they were kept in the dark about payments to silence women who accused Conyers of assault.
.@1PatriciaMurphy: It’s time for congressional leaders to investigate their own members, impose appropriate punishments, and get real about stopping harassment. https://t.co/z234uJY9CL

From The New York Post: Harassers in Congress shouldn’t rest easy that their deeds will continue to go unreported.
Top House Democrat John Conyers reportedly paid $27,000 to settle a sexual harassment complaint https://t.co/DIKQIbmLp3

3. Can Congress clean up its institutionalized abuse?
From Newsmax.com: Is the era of congressional perversion coming to an end, because it sounds a lot like what has always been acceptable on The Hill.
