Sheila Jackson Lee Claims the Moon Is 'Made Up Mostly of Gasses' (It's Not)

This is what happens when you teach nothing but racism in school, and leave out anything actually, you know, educational. >p> During an event in Houston just before the eclipse Monday morning, Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee told the audience gathered at the Mickey Leland Federal Building that the moon was made up “mostly of gasses” (it isn’t) and that it's "almost impossible to go near the sun" (we actually can't go near it at all) because it's a "mighty powerful heat" (you don't say!?).

“You need light and energy from the sun so that you have the energy of the moon at night and sometimes you’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’ that’s when you take the opportunity to come out and see that the full moon is that complete rounded circle, which is made up mostly of gasses,” Jackson Lee rambled, having seemingly forgotten her prepared remarks - and rudimentary science, along with them.

Shelia and MTG must be soul mates. Shelia believes the moon is made of gasses and MTG said the wildfires were caused by Jewish lasers. And these people keep getting re-elected.

No Sheila. Uranus is made mostly of gases.

That woman is a special kind of stupid. She wasn’t born here-she should leave and raise the entire IQ of East Texas...

It’s the gases that worry me more . . .

Graduated from Yale in 1972. She obviously didn’t take any courses that required a brain!

She also got a JD and passed the bar exam, I think. Even if true, no way would I pay her to represent me in any legal matter...

She’s half right.

The moon is made of a crystalized gas called DUST.

Because of affirmative action and civil rights we have a country falling to pieces. She and Maxine Waters are given the power that intelligent and competent people used to earn.

Sheila thinks this is where the term “gaslighting” comes from...

She may have been confused by hearing people testifying about producing oxygen by smelting certain minerals or obtaining Helium 3. She represents Houston, and the Manned Spaceflight center is in her district, so she might hear, but not understand, what it is that they intend to do.

(Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee:)

I stand in awe of her knowledge and demonstrable genius

She should be on “The View”

The astronauts brought back a lot of soil and rocks from the moon. Maybe it’s gas soil and rocks.

That she gets re-elected over & over by Texans says something about both of them that I did not fully realize before. Maybe it’s just easier than trying to remember a new name on the ballot.
