When United booted a paying customer from first class to make room for a member of Congress, the Internet erupted with good and healthy egalitarian outrage. But don’t blame the airline.
The congresswoman in question was Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas. And until she lands on the no-fly list, no airline is safe. Jackson Lee has been terrorizing the skies since coming to Congress in 1995.
The Democrat has developed a reputation for making life hell for any clerk, stewardess, or pilot unwilling or unable to make her three-and-a-half-hour flight anything less than glamorous. She takes advantage of federal travel perks to book multiple flights (only to cancel at the last minute and at no charge). She demands an upgrade to premier seats. She expects, in her words, “to be treated like a queen.”

Oh yes, she played the race card.
I read about that happening, but forgot it was her district involved.
Her airport behavior was at one time rivaled only by Patrick Kennedy from Rhode Island.
That's racist.
One culture places the “common good” above self; or service before self. This is apparently “white privedge”.
.
Another culture places all aspects of themselves before anything. Obama was all about himself. NFL is all about this group of individuals. Mugabe cast out the “white devils”, destroying the richest country in Africa, while setting himself up as dictator for life.
bkmk
The new buzzword is “tone”. I’ve heard it at least a few times tonight.
Not tone of skin, but tone of voice. That is the next “racist” thing.
Liberals always give out then follow talking points. Today’s word is: TONE.
So many messed up, hateful, mean black women. She’s their queen, it seems.
The problem is, for her constituents (or any dem that identifies with her) she is celebrity. They see her as one who has gamed the system, which they all aspire to do.
The don't see themselves as part of the system, but victims of it.
So each incident like this, is like their team scoring a touchdown.
To them, it's an us vs them mentality, and she is on their team. Every incident like this is a win for them, through her.
Every "attack" against her (even rightly deserved) is an offense against them
thanx
I can’t stand her. She’s an insufferable pig.
IIRC, Sheila Jackson Lee once demanded to go first class from coach and when challenged, bellowed, “I AM A QUEEN AND I EXPECT TO BE TREATED LIKE A QUEEN!!”
This was on Delta Air Lines. When she complained to the president of Delta, he politely told the Queen to get lost and to take her business elsewhere.
She is not omnipotent. UAL pussied out this time.
There's no doubt about that. SJL is a perfect rep for the uneducated fools in her district.
Representing her constituents it seems.
The opposite of WHITE entitlement.
But . . . black lives matter, doncha know!
Even better when they become so entitled and emboldened as to start behavior that gets them arrested.
Not much chance of that happening.
Jackson Lee was elected to serve the Texas 18th Congressional District.
District Ethnicity: 7.2% White; 36.4% Black; 3.9% Asian; 42.7% Hispanic; 0.36% Native American; 9.4% other
You can see in the map below that the Texas 18th congressional district is one of those convoluted, gerrymandered monstrosities
designed solely for the purpose of ensuring that a minority will be elected.
