UPDATED: "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."

Update to the main post: Of Course: Sheila Jackson Lee Cries Racism After Kicking a Teacher Out of First Class

Sheila Jackson Lee’s Long History Of Being An Entitled ‘Queen’

According to accounts from former staffers, Jackson-Lee would berate staffers, calling them names like “You Stupid Motherf***er.”

. . . "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 Lee’s 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 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." . . .

“You don’t understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen,” she allegedly once told a member of her staff.
