Both BuzzFeed and The New York Times report Jackson Lee will leave as chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, a non-profit group closely aligned with the Congressional Black Caucus.

She will also leave her position temporarily as chair of a House Judiciary subcommittee.

Dang, really? A black Democrat in Congress is going to experience actual consequences?

I don’t know. This says “to leave,” rather than “has left,” so it could be just another wishful thinking thing.

Her district is changing from majority Black to Hispanic. Julio or Lupita would take her out eventually.

And while it will lower the Democrat IQ, how soon until she resigns her seat?

She won’t resign. Ol’ “Do You Know Who I Am” idiot will have to be forcefully removed. I’m happy as a clam and I hope this is only the beginning of getting rid of her stealing airplane seats butt!!!!

Exactly, if she were Republican, there would be demands for her to resign her seat.

Keep up the pressure!

Congressional Black Caucus Foundation,

Pimpin’ for the Congressional Black Caucus.

No ass is too good.

“You gape, we rape!”

Get whitey and his wimmen!/S

You bet these un-American Black Caucusonians are still stuck back on the plantation, even though they are in Washington and its 2019, not 1860.Black first, American later, maybe.

Pimpin’ is protected by the 1st amendment!/S

BUT: Quiet everyone! Solidarity brings further ass!

I want to see Lt. Colonel Alan West elected from Texas so he can bring these pimps into the modern era.

These pimps used our tax dollars to pay off their unsatisfied victims.

Reparations!/S

So this is her way of telling us all ITS TRUE, ITS TRUE, ITS TRUE. While she will claim the evil white devils are after her.

Local Houston TV talking head last night predicted she will ultimately survive this scandal because her district will still support her.
