The article was about resignation from the Black Caucus Foundation.

Are the Black Caucus a gathering of black members of the House of Representatives and the Black Caucus Foundation as in The Clinton Foundation, one and the same?

The first seems about politics, the second seems about money.

Well those would be 2 terms I would think were her best.

But they must conduct all votes as voice votes. 8>)

Wow, how much grey matter can there be in the CBCF if Jackson Lee is the leader of it? Let me guess, Hank Johnson is second in command?

Arm of Congressional Hispanic Caucus spent lavishly last election cycle, FEC data show
Fox News ^ | January 17 2019 | Louis Casiano / FR Posted by knighthawk

The fundraising arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus doled out hundreds of thousands of dollars for luxury hotels, nightclubs and tickets to Las Vegas events during the 2018 election cycle, filings to the Federal Election Commission show.

During the cycle, the caucus’s Bold PAC pulled in $9.5 million in contributions — in reaction to President Trump’s policies, said Rep. Tony Cardenas, D-Calif., who chairs the PAC, according to a report. Also in that time, the Hispanic caucus paid out more than $200,000 for catering, hotel stays and fees at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay Golf Resort, Spa, and Marina in Cambridge, Md.

Not to worry, that group has a “long list” of “incapable” people to take her place.

I understand that Hank Johnson and Elijah Cummings are in a fight for her “leadership role!”

“Poor?
Her net worth is near a MILLION DOLLARS.”

Then she truly is STUPID! Only a million bucks? She’s had 12 terms in the House and she’s not been able to steal anything more than a million? I guess Texas real estate isn’t like it is here he California. Here, most anyone with a decent house is a millionaire. She must live in Texas hog jowls and chitlins area!

LOL! I wouldn’t doubt it, the woman is utterly delusional.

I was looking up her quotes, she has some beauties...

“Don’t you know who I am? I’m Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Where is my seafood meal? I know it was ordered!”
— Sheila Jackson Lee

“All those who wore sheets a long time ago have now lifted them off and started wearing uh, clothing, uh, with a name, say, I am part of the Tea Party.”
— Sheila Jackson Lee

“What am I, a prostitute? Am I your prostitute? You can’t prostitute me.”
— Sheila Jackson Lee

“You know that I’m going to first of all denounce the utilization of this intrusion by Wikipedia through the Russian intrusion. This is what it’s about. Espionage just like what was said over these last couple of days. We need to be concerned about the intrusion of Russia and Putin in these elections.”
— Sheila Jackson Lee

“Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.”
— Sheila Jackson Lee

“Maybe I should offer a good thanks to the distinguished members of the majority, the Republicans, my chairman and others, for giving us an opportunity to have a deliberative constitutional discussion that reinforces the sanctity of this nation and how well it is that we have lasted some 400 years, operating under a constitution that clearly defines what is constitutional and what is not.”
— Sheila Jackson Lee

“Her district is smack dab in the middle of Houston...................”

Someone posted a picture of her district. It looks like they “replicated the image” of an OSHA-compliant toilet seat when they “crafted” her district’s boundaries. It’s like a ring around Houston’s core with a small “outlet. “The only one I’ve seen recently that’s worse is the one formerly held by Luis Gutierrez in Chicago.

If the evidence proves Jackson retaliated against a staffer who came to her about their rape and was fired, then Jackson needs to resign or be expelled from Congress. Let the punishment fit the crime.
