"Jackson Lee said Simon, who is white, confronted a black flight attendant about the perceived slight.
The congresswoman suggested that her grievance may have something to do with the fact that she is an African American."
Apparently old Sheila's done this before and the airline was terrified that she's throw a fit.
“No. Stewardess, I don’t care if it’s the Queen Mum, I’m not giving up my seat. Deal with it.”
War on Women... by Silverback
I cannot accept that Sheila Jackson Lee is from the same planet as me.
.....the dogs in the pet area rioted
when Jackson-Lee’s dog carrier was loaded on board...
It’s racism for her to demand the seat of a white woman. Plus, since taxpayers pay her she works for us. BTW, what’s this flying first class anyway?
Houston Blacks are so ignorant that they keep disgracing the state of Texas by re-electing this disgusting carpet bagger from NY to represent them…that, and voter fraud, of course.
My first thought is how a “school” teacher can afford a first class airline seat?
Are taxpayers really paying such enormous bloated salaries these days? I know the answer.
Back of the bus? Hmmmm times have changed.
Obviously she must be a liberal.
I wonder if this changes her opinion of her fellow liberals?
Doesn't she know Congresswoman Jackson Lee is a special entitled person and deserves first class accommodations.
BTW, shouldn't Lee change her last name, doesn't make her a racist...?
Why is a school teacher in a FIRST CLASS seat? Probably explains why my property taxes are so damn high here.
Jackson Lee. Isn’t that a racist Confederate name?
'I've seen Lee and IAH cutting in line and rudely taking advantage of her status before. United knows she will play the race card if she isn't treated like royalty so they just give in. They don't care about a hard working teacher vs a privileged idiot,' one person tweeted."
Back of the bus, Sheila Robert E Lee.
SheJackL isn’t human. Must be some other kind of racism.
If the insufferable old cow didn’t have a first class seat booked then she’s not entitled to one no matter how much she bellows and stomps. Simple as that. Miz Jackson-Lee needs to develop a future orientation to anticipate her needs, but seems incapable of doing so.
United will be the very last airline I pick to fly. I honestly don’t know how they’re still in business.
It is really funny that she “cancels” her seat, and who ends up sitting in it. My my my my my.... What a coincidence. Life works in the strangest ways [eye roll].
Years ago Geraldo Rivera was getting ready to interview her on Fox. In the buildup, he referred to her as “The Majestic Sheila Jackson Lee.”
Congresswoman Lee’s broom must have needed repairs...
