Damn Texas, you elected her to office 13 times? And now this from the Washington Examiner:
Sheila Jackson Lee has long been considered the worst boss in Washington. The congresswoman has cycled through 11 different chiefs of staff in the last 11 years has been repeatedly deemed the “meanest” member of the House by the Washingtonian Examiner.
Looks like she has crossed the line into pure evil according to a lawsuit filed against her and the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
The story is that Sheila, currently chairwoman of the CBCF, wrongfully fired and retaliated against a former female staffer for reporting a rape by a CBCF employee.
If the details in the suit are true — and there are text messages and a truly gruesome rape kit indicating that there’s at least something to it — then this could and should end Jackson Lee’s career.
For my part I doubt that the idiots that elected her to office could give a rats azz and will send her back. It is Texas after all.
NOPE – it is a highly gerrymandered district in the Houston area that keeps sending her back. Please don’t blame all of the rest of us for their idiocy.
It’s not Texas, it’s the 18th District in NE Houston, which is not representative of the state overall. 40% black (2nd highest-black-population district in the state).
what they said, change your title to Houston.
I do appreciate the comment and, while Jackson-Lee has been reelected so many times in Houston, I don’t think it’s Houston’s problem. The major population centers in Texas are turning blue despite overall Republican dominance, Austin, El Paso, Dallas, San Antonio and the Rio Grande Valley are all democrats. The suburbs remain red.
It doesn’t seem to me that Houston is going to fix itself, its up to Texas to fix the Houston (et al) lunacy. But then what do I know, I’m tucked away here in Tennessee.
