Sheila Jackson Lee has been a congresswoman for over 20 years.
However, she acts far more like an arrogant monarch than a
humble servant of the people.
The Texas Democrat has regularly abused her power and position
to demand and receive special treatment from private companies,
demean and harass subordinates, and reap untold benefits of
being The Queen.
When her abusive behavior comes to light, Jackson Lee often
claims her opponents are racist.
Jackson Lees most recent abuse of power comes at the expense of
teacher Jean-Marie Simon who was allegedly bumped from her
first class seat when Jackson-Lee demanded it. Simon was given a
voucher for her flight by United and moved to the economy
section. On her way to the back of the plane, Simon saw Jackson
Lee occupying her seat.
In a Facebook post, Simon says she spoke with a congressman who
said Jackson-Lee regularly poaches seats from other passengers.
I was the last passenger on the plane. A Texas congressman, a
nice guy, sat down next to me. He said was glad I had made it on
the flight. I showed him my boarding pass with my seat, 1A,
printed on it. He said, You know what happened, right? Do you
know whos in your seat? I said no. He told me that it was
Jackson Lee, a fellow U.S. congresswoman who regularly does
this, that this was the third time he personally had watched her
bump a passenger.
In response to the accusation, Jackson-Lee called Simon racist,
saying the teacher caused a stir because I was an African
American woman.
Along with being a teacher, Simon is a celebrated
photojournalist who helped document human-rights abuses in the
third world.
This is not the first time that Jackson Lee has claimed
privilege while flying.
A well-documented report from the beginning of her congressional
service shows that Jackson-Lee would regularly demand first
class upgrades and throw temper tantrums when she did not get
specialty items and treatment.
Once when Continental Airlines did not have a seafood meal
option in first class Jackson Lee reportedly had a meltdown
saying:
Dont you know who I am? Im Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
Where is my seafood meal? I know it was ordered!
Daily Mail reporter David Martosko tweeted his experience with
Jackson Lee on an airplane flight on Tuesday, saying, I saw
Sheila Jackson-Lee on a domestic flight two years ago. While I
was walking back to coach, she was throwing a hissy fit in First
Class over why the steward had to gate-check her carry-on. (It
was too big to fit in the overhead.) She threw a tantrum worthy
of a 3-year-old.
This is certainly not the first time that Jackson Lee has thrown
tantrums when she did not get preferential treatment and then
claimed racism when she received bad press over the incident.
According to a thorough 2011 Daily Caller report on Jackson
Lees antics, the congresswoman once allegedly requested to be
driven through an area that the Secret Service said was off
limits. When the Secret Service stopped Jackson Lees vehicle,
she claimed it was because the white officers were racist.
(The officers were Hispanic.)
A former staffer recalls one revealing episode during the height
of the financial crisis in the waning months of the Bush
administration. Jackson Lee demanded a meeting with a top
Treasury aide, even though she did not sit on any of the
committees with jurisdiction over financial matters. As her car
pulled up outside the Treasury, Jackson Lee told her driver to
park directly outside the door. Due to the proximity of the
Treasury Departments headquarters to the White House, Secret
Service officers told the driver not to park there. After an
argument with the agents, who kept telling the driver to back
off, Jackson Lee finally emerged from the building. As the car
drove away, a Secret Service van flashed its lights behind them.
Keep driving, Jackson Lee told her staffer. Ultimately, the
driver pulled over in defiance of the bosss wishes. At this
point, Jackson Lee emerged from the car, screaming, Im
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee! Who do you think you are? to
a team of Secret Service agents. Jackson Lee accused the white
agent at the gate of racism, claiming she wouldnt have to deal
with this stuff when Barack Obama became president. She then
filed a formal complaint with the Secret Service, which prompted
an investigation. A Treasury official later explained that the
accusation had been dismissed because the agent in question was
Hispanic, not white.
In a 1997 visit to NASA, Jackson Lee reportedly asked if the
Mars Rover that NASA had landed on the planet had located the
American flag planted on the surface. No astronaut has ever been
to Mars, and when the embarrassing anecdote was reported,
Jackson Lee claimed it was a racist attack.
You thought you could have fun with a black woman member of the
Science Committee, was her defense in a letter to the editor.
Jackson Lee once tried to close down an entire hallway in her
congressional office building so she could have a private
meeting with Michael Jackson. According to reports:
One day in March of 2004, Jackson Lee told colleagues on her
hall in Rayburn that the corridor would be closed from 8:00 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. to accommodate her visit from Michael Jackson. The
House Administration Committee promptly informed her that she
had no authority to close a public hallway.
Jackson Lees alleged abusive treatment of those around her
should come as no surprise to those who have followed her
career. The congresswoman reportedly regularly abuses
subordinates and staff.
According to accounts from former staffers, Jackson-Lee would
berate staffers, calling them names like You Stupid
Motherf***er.
Those former staffers claim she was physically abusive, threw
cell phones at staff and demanded unsafe driving while being
chauffeured, which allegedly resulted in at least one car
accident. She would reportedly demand staffers go to the market
and buy garlic supplements for her at 2AM and would be furious
with them if her demands were not met.
You dont understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated
like a queen, she allegedly once told a member of her staff.
