Thanks for the pic! Wonder if Joe tried to sniff her hair . . .
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s top adviser is Jason Lee who is the son
of the notorious Texas liberal Cong Sheila Jackson Lee (recently deceased).
Lee voted last month in Texas, supposedly saying it is his “permanent residence,” Johnson
saying questions WRT Lee voting in Houston are the responsibility of election officials there.
