Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, could be under heavy fire for an audio recording of her alleged profanity-laced tirade towards a staffer because she is a woman of color, a new report suggests.
The Houston Chronicle pondered if the representative is getting more backlash for the recording because she is a Black woman.
The reporter quoted experts who said women of color have been held to higher standards than men, suggesting that if Jackson Lee was a man, she would not be on the receiving end of such backlash.
Texas newspaper Current Revolt published audio it obtained of Jackson Lee berating one of her staffers over a task that included profane language.
In one instance of the exchange, an angry voice purported to be the lawmaker's said, "When I called Jerome, he only sits up there like a fat [expletive], just talking about what the [expletive] he doesn’t know.

Following public outcry at the recording, Jackson Lee expressed regret for the audio.
The Houston Chronicle article began with an anecdote about University of Houston Professor Nancy Sims playing Jackson Lee’s audio to students in her "women and politics" class. Sims asked her students, "Would you have the same reaction if it was a man?"
"Sims said some of her students thought the audio's release was just a ‘dirty trick’ played on Jackson Lee, while others thought no boss should speak to their staff like that. And a few said their reaction to the recording would likely have been less strong had Jackson Lee been a man," the Chronicle wrote.
Other experts said the audio is another example of women in politics...

Not a problem. The Houston Chronicle will provide cover.
she will win no matter what...we have signs all over my area that reads: “ BLACK VOTES MATTER”
Please. Look at coverage of white male actors flipping out. Christian Bale, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin... it is entertaining seeing and hearing famous people become unhinged.
“Rep. Jackson Lee is getting backlash for angry recording because of her race, gender: Supporters”
Hey black people ... do what ever you want and if anyone opposes you, regardless of color just scream “Racim”
Sure. It's also a question you can turn back on the women's studies professor: If a man, a white man, a straight man, used that kind of language would you really be that forgiving and make up excuses for him?
She was channeling her inner Kamala Harris.
That is how the headline should have been written (edited).
Sorry, the race card doesn’t work the way it used to.
She is a black harridan!

B.S.
It’s because she’s a horrible b*tch and treats people around her like they’re something she scraped off her shoe.
This is far from being the first time her abominable behavior towards her staff and others has come to light. She’s an arrogant tyrant with a strong sense of entitlement and the IQ of a gnat.
She’s getting ready to steal the Houston mayors election.
Right. A white man would’ve already had a presser groveling with all the usual race hustlers.
Hey, if you had to go through each day with a cow turn on your head, might be in a foul mood?
She’s part of the Idiocracy.
She makes Hank "Guam will flip over" Johnson seem like Einstein.
The real explanation is that Jackson Lee is a deranged fugly ol animal that needs some reining in. She has been a rampaging sow for a few decades. I blame her dumbass constituents, who keep voting this porker in.
Sen Liz Warren has been called a
shrill harridan
Race card revoked.
Men have to be very careful who they harrangue. I recall a very senior govt official who berated one of his subordinates only to have that person grab his tie and nearly choke him to death. The attacker got a good job in another outfit.
Vixenish isn’t how I would describe SJL.
Couldn’t be she’s getting backlash because she’s a hateful idiot?
Nope... Gotta be melanin and vagina...
