Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D - Enron) is entitled to the privileges of her position. Like discriminating against the disabled and other people's airline seats.
A judge has refused to dismiss a federal lawsuit accusing Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of discriminating against and mocking a disabled staffer — charges the Texas Democrat denies.
Mrs. Jackson Lee’s legal team sought to have the complaint dismissed, arguing in part that actions concerning her staff are protected under the Speech or Debate clause of the Constitution. In a lengthy ruling, the judge disagreed.
And as a civil rights hero and freed slave, she is entitled to other people's airline seats. If they disagree, they're racists.
A passenger on a flight from Houston to Washington D.C. has accused United Airlines of giving her first-class seat to U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee. D-Houston, and then threatening to remove her from the plane for complaining and snapping a photo of the Houston congresswoman.
"It was just so completely humiliating," said Jean-Marie Simon, a 63-year-old attorney and private school teacher who used 140,000 miles on Dec. 3 to purchase the first-class tickets to take her from Washington D.C. to Guatemala and back home.
Of course this had to happen on United.
Her seat, 1A, was taken, she was told. Simon was given a $500 voucher and reseated in row 11, Economy Plus.
United Airlines. We hate you and it shows.
Simon said she saw Jackson Lee board the plane with a flight attendant before all of the other passengers, but did not know who she was until another passenger told her after they were seated.
About five minutes after Simon took the photo on the plane, Simon said, another flight attendant sat next her and asked if she "was going to be a problem."
That's the cue for United's complimentary in-flight 'knocking your teeth out' service.
The airline announced policy changes after that incident and its CEO, Oscar Munoz, has promised a "culture shift toward becoming a better, more customer-focused airline."
By 'customer focused', he meant Congress Focused. It's the government, not its customers, whom United fears.
Anyway, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has a kind statement to make.
"Since this was not any fault of mine, the way the individual continued to act appeared to be, upon reflection, because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target along with the African American flight attendant who was very, very nice," Jackson Lee said in the statement. "This saddens me, especially at this time of year given all of the things we have to work on to help people. But in the spirit of this season and out of the sincerity of my heart, if it is perceived that I had anything to do with this, I am kind enough to simply say sorry."
In the spirit of the season, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is kind enough to accuse the woman whose seat she stole of being a racist. And then to tack on an apology for nothing on the end while praising her own kindness.
Truly, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee embodies all that is noblest about the CBC.
Shelia is an unevolved knuckle dragger.
And as a civil rights hero and freed slave, she is entitled to other people’s airline seats. If they disagree, they’re racists.
Sylvester Magee (1841?-1971) died in 1971 and is considered the last American slave born in slavery. However this has been debated.
I hope all the bs about “she is a school teacher, so how can she afford a 1st class ticket” debate is put to rest in this article. The victim of the racist Hon Shiela Jackson is an attorney and private school teacher.
A teacher from the Marxist wing of the communist party in DC probably isn't being used as a back channel in Guatemala ...
More likely part of the revolutionary bag man for Soros...
The woman was not racist, she merely despises devolved simians
This congresswoman acts like this all the time. She has one of the worst reputations in congress. According to people who worked on the hill, she treats staffers, military members, and others like trash.
“African American.” I’m as fed up with that term as I can be.
I didn’t know the Marxism part. Why are we upset she got dissed, then?
A teacher in the DC school system has a better chance of leaning toward Marxism than the Titanic staying afloat...
I'm not upset she got bumped, I'm pissed a cockroach like Jackson-Lee gets preferential treatment and when a peasant complains she cries racism
Excellent point........
We, the people, need to cut these govt ***holes down to size.
Not just the despicable Sheila J/L....but the whole frickin cartload of the SOB’s.
Cut their office budgets....cut their staff size....cut off their perks and privileges....etc etc etc.
In Congress, they lead lives of leisure, their every whim financed by our tax dollars.
Like their lords or kings in a monarchy.......helping themselves to the tax dollars they force on the citizenry they treat as peons.
This has got to stop.
If you Google her bio, she’s an author & photographer. I don’t know why they call her a teacher, but the article clearly says “private school teacher”. Graduated Georgetown & Harvard law ... probably has more brains in her left pinky than SJL has, period.
The word is Sheila/J/L is a horrendous boss......a pistol to work for.
Did any of her govt staff get tax dollars to settle complaints of S//J/L’s hostile work environment?
Taxpayers demand to know.
Her employees—past and present-—are encouraged to come out and tell their stries about working for this monster.
This one describes herself as a Caribbean-American.
There's even a "Caribbean Caucus" in Congress to give these people special privileges.
Left versus left? If so, then SJL was right since she has more “privilege points” than this white attorney/teacher.
Bttt.
5.56mm
Taxpayers demand to know. Did any of her govt staff pocket
tax dollars due to S//J/L’s hostile work environment?
<><> Did they get tax-paid settlements?
<><> Severance pay?
<><> Payouts from the Office of Compliance?
<><> No-show jobs to keep silent?
<><> Legal counsel from tax-paid lawyers?

Except for gerrymandering at its extreme, Shelia Jackson Lee would not be a member of congress. All one has to do is take a look at a map of her district (18th in Texas) to see why. It is a textbook example of why gerrymandering is evil and why it robs the people of fair representation in Congress. We also have blatant examples in Louiaiana as do most states. These districts exist only to assure that a black candidate gets elected which equates to a Democrat.
The black representatives thus elected then take their seats in Congress and then participate in more segregation by joining the Congressional Black Caucus.
When these facts are considered it becomes much easier to understand why Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee thinks she is entitled to any seat of her choice on any commercial airline.
Everyone is racist except Lee.
She is da racist.
