An attorney and private school teacher from Washington, DC, is accusing United Airlines of removing her from her first-class seat only to give the seat to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX).

Airline staff told Simon the seat was taken and gave her a $500 voucher, along with another ticket for the same flight in Economy Plus.

Carol Moseley-Braun (aka Carol Mostly-Fraud) comes to mind from the same state that gave us Senator Sack of Durbin, and Senator Tammy Duckworthless.
When her son was ready to attend college, she whined there weren’t any black colleges. They live in Houston, so there are at least 3 traditional BLACK colleges he could commute to. There are half a dozen others close enough for him to come home every weekend. At least two that were formed in the 1800s.
No lie, to cross the street, the entitled “queen” demands to be chauffeured in her limo. Jackson, “I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen.”
If she had canceled her flight, then her app should show a canceled flight - PERIOD! And although she took the same flight, since she canceled her original flight, her app should show a WHOLE NEW FLIGHT, because they would have had to re-book her a new ticket/flight!
It sounds like United screwed this woman over, because they didn’t want to have to deal with She-Jackass-Lee
She damn near needs a row of seats with that ass.
Some animals are more equal than others.
“The commonality is party (leftists), not necessarily race, but here is another example of black, female, privilege-royalty.”
Movin’ on up. Uppity.
Indeed he game is rigged media grins.
Yep, she is a sow.
I had been standing in a long line at security at LaGuardia a number of years ago. After 25 minutes I was finally up to the point of putting my luggage in the X-ray machine. I heard a voice next to me say, “Step aside for VIP”. A black female TSA agent gave the directive, the VIP was Jessie Jackson who with another large black male was standing next to the agent.
At the time Mr. Jackson held no government office, he was I private citizen like me. I politely asked the agent why the VIP could not wait in line like the rest of us travelers. She gave me a very stern look and said, “You’ll step aside and keep your mouth shut if you know what’s good for you. Not wanting to create a scene, and given I was traveling on business I knew if I was arrested I’d probably lose my job, I stepped back and quietly watched as Mr. Jackson and his companion were whisked through. As they moved on the female agent whispered to the black male security agent monitoring the area.
I put my luggage on the belt and went through the scanner. As I exited the scanner the security agent told me to get my bag and come with him. He directed me to an area behind a curtain where I was given an aggressive pat down. Another agent opened and unpacked my bag, examining every item, and piling my clothing in a messy pile. When the extremely slow inspection was completed, the agent gave me a big toothy smile and said - “You may go”.
I refolded my clothes, repacked my bag, and fortunately made my flight.
I spoke to an FBI agent friend about the incident. He told me I did the right thing. If I had argued with the agents I would have been arrested, spent the night in detention, been charged with some federal crime. If I didn’t plea bargain to a lesser charge I’d have gone to trial in federal court, the agents would have testified against me, I would have no witnesses to testify to my story (I wasn’t traveling with anyone I knew), the incident would be highly publicized by the government to embarrass me publicly, and I’d have likely served some jail time.
That incident demonstrated to me clearly that our federal government is exerting too much power over the people. The founding fathers would be horrified. We can thank President George H. W. Bush, for the tyranny that is the TSA and Department of Homeland Security.
Anyone who believes all citizens are equal in the eyes of those who govern us is either extremely naive or a fool.
Yes, the number of the self anointed Leftist Royalty is large.
And no one seems to be able to tell them where to put it.
Of course that is what happened.
People flying home on connecting flights don't cancel the final leg of their trip.

The word is Sheila/J/L is a horrendous boss......a pistol to work for. She is already in court for abusing a disabled staffer.
Did any of her govt staff get tax dollars to settle complaints of S//J/Ls hostile work environment?
Taxpayers demand to know.
Her employeespast and present-are encouraged to come out and tell their stories about working for this monster.
It was W... not HW. And there’s nothing we the people can do about it except stay in our place.
My wife booked a vacation that’s non refundable and non transferable. That means we have to fly somewhere or lose a bunch of money. That also means we have to fly even though I swore 5 years ago I’d never fly again. Just because of crap like what happened to you. The TSA agents, qualified to be janitors, love pushing people around.
I don’t like United.
“Get outta my seat!”
“Do you know who I am?”
“Yes, a *servant* of the People. Now, get out of my seat”
I recall Neil Boortz talking about CSK frequently and all the free perks she was given - free first class airline seats were just the tip of the iceberg.
I totally believe your story. I’ve also seen evidence of the terminal arrogance that is in place within some of the TSA.
This extreme bureaucrap will be very difficult to remove.
Yep, headshake.
