U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee on Thursday distanced herself from a University of Houston graduate student and Texas Obama delegate who falsely identified herself as a pediatric physician at the congresswoman's health care reform town hall meeting this week.
I've never met her, Jackson Lee said as she prepared to take questions from doctors and other health care workers in a session at St. Joseph Medical Center.
Roxana Mayer, who warmly embraced Jackson Lee at the close of Tuesday's session at a Fifth Ward community center, had spoken in favor of the president's health care package. The Texas Medical Board, which oversees doctors in Texas, has no record of Mayer, 31, holding a physician's license.
In a West Coast political blog, Patterico's Pontifications, Mayer admitted she is not a doctor.
When queried by the Houston Chronicle if she held a medical license outside Texas, she responded via e-mail: If my initial statement to the Houston Chronicle can not be substantiated, then I understand your responsibility to omit it.
Jared Woodfill, chairman of Harris County Republican Party, on Thursday said Mayer's misrepresentation shows you what we've known all along.
The Democrats, he said, will do anything it takes to pass Obamacare, whether it's misrepresentation, deception, trickery or outright fraud. It appears there are no boundaries to what they are willing to do.
A single protester at Jackson Lee's event at St. Joseph's, Bryan Klein, appeared at the conference room door, distributing leaflets.
He was escorted from the hospital by guards but continued to hand out leaflets outside the front door.
Hospital spokeswoman Fritz Guthrie said Klein was removed because the session was closed to the public.
The Chronicle's Mark Babineck contributed to this report.
