Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said Wednesday that she is “stunned” President Trump and conservatives for attacking three prominent black women.
In a tweet, Jackson listed American Urban Radio Networks White House correspondent April Ryan, fellow Democratic lawmaker Rep. Maxine Waters (Calif.) and Obama’s former national security adviser Susan Rice as black women who have come under "attack" by the Trump administration and Republicans.

Jackson’s comments come hours after the president told The New York Times in an interview that he believes Rice likely committed a crime by requesting the names of Trump transition aides during an intelligence report.
Rice, who served in the Obama administration, denied Tuesday allegations that she inappropriately unmasked the names of Trump aides names. No reports so far have suggested that Rice broke the law by requesting the unmasking, which has been described as a routine intelligence procedure, and the president didn't offer new evidence that she had.
"I leaked nothing to nobody and never have and never would…The allegation is that somehow the Obama administration officials utilized intelligence for political purposes. That's absolutely false,” Rice said on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports."
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) suggested Tuesday Rice was the “Typhoid Mary of the Obama administration foreign policy” on radio host Hugh Hewitt's show, suggesting that she hurt U.S. efforts abroad in everything that she touched.
Ryan also fell into the public spotlight late last month after White House press Secretary Sean Spicer told her to stop shaking her head in disbelief.
Ryan asked Spicer a question about the Trump administration’s ties to Russia, which he in turn accused her of having an agenda.
“I appreciate your agenda here…At some point, report the facts,” Spicer said.
Ryan told CNN she shook her head in “disbelief” as a response to Spicer, who accused her of having a political agenda.
“You're shaking your head…It seems like you are hell-bent to trying to make sure that whatever image you want to tell about this White House stays,” Spicer told Ryan.
In March, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly criticized Waters's appearance last month after she criticized Trump on the House floor.
O’Reilly mocked Waters on-air, saying that she wears a “James Brown wig.”
"I didn't hear a word [Waters] said. I was looking at the James Brown wig. If we have a picture of James, it's the same wig.”
O'Reilly later apologized in a statement, saying his James Brown wig comment “dumb."
They usually pull the race card a lot faster than this ..
Spicer is really good at what he does.
7 times more likely to commit crimes or spy on you illegally?
It’s not our fault Bonzo used women to immunize his administration from scrutiny and it’s definitely not our fault that black women where dumb enough to let Bonzo use them. If black women can’t take the heat, they may want to stay the hell out of the kitchen. Just because they are “black women” it doesn’t mean they can go out and commit crimes at will and not be prosecuted.
Is it because there are so few real black men?
it doesn’t mean they can go out and commit crimes at will and not be prosecuted.

It does until proven otherwise.
I won’t hold my breathe waiting for indictments.
I do feel bad this just reinforces all the negative stereotypes about blacks. The first black president was a total and complete abject failure. It is sad.
7 times more likely to become highly paid house slaves for white Democrats: Vernon Jordan, Maggie Williams, Donna Brazile, Anita Hill, Cheryl Mills, etc. It's good to be on the plantation.
She is wrong as Whites do not have the spiritual strength to even defend themselves. We who defeated the army of the greatest empire on earth, formed a government and gave it laws, conquered a continent, led the world economically and scientifically have lost their abilities and slink off sobbing into a corner whenever some loud mouth Negress shoots off her low IQ mouth.
First: Dem’s Response: WH is attacking women
Second: Dem’s Response: WH is attacking black women
Waiting for: Dem’s Response: WH is attacking trans black women
the Dems are so predictable
This is all they’ve got.
Pathetic.
Sorry, Sheila: April’s, Maxine’s, and Susan’s race cards had all expired. So has yours.
They had to get the story before they could send the unified message.
I guess the puppeteers were out for a day or two.
It’s obvious that Trump hates black women. I challenge anyone to show where he has ever criticized a man of any race or a Caucasian woman.
Trump is in a class by himself -—a racist-only misogynist.
Rosie O’Donnell is black?
These hypocrites attack white men all the time. Put these cows out to pasture!
These hypocrites attack white men all the time. Put these cows out to pasture!
“Rosie O’Donnell is black?”
Yes, and Amirosa is really white.
(Sarcasm tag not necessary)
Well the black women who are demorats love to pull the race card when they have lost.....consider the source .
