Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee dead at 74

[FranklinRoosevelt_FTW]

She supported racism and anti-American ism. Total hypocrisy. A BLM candidate she was propping up easier access to jobs and scholarships for so-called minorities instead of supporting a meritocracy based system.


But I certainly will still say rest in peace. I do believe that if she was perceived to be a “white supremacist” that the BLM people would be cheering at her death. I am not cheering at her death Condolences to her family

She will be remembered as the most ignorant woman that ever served in Congress.....Damn, she was stupid to the point it hurt....NY transplant too.

Stupid carpetbagger, one goes with the other.

While you are correct that pancreatic cancer is brutal, I do not think she will be RIP, she was an extraordinarily evil women....But you never know, perhaps she begged forgiveness prior to her "ahh" departure!

She was a Yankee who moved to Houston when her husband got a teaching job there. Wanted to disarm white people, for one, backed a gun control bill.

On September 27, 2013, Jackson Lee introduced the Essential Transportation Worker Identification Credential Assessment Act (H.R. 3202; 113th Congress), a bill that would direct the United States Department of Homeland Security to assess the effectiveness of the Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program.[15] The bill would require an independent assessment of how well the TWIC program improves security and reduces risks at the facilities and vessels it is responsible for.[16]

In January 2019, The New York Times reported that Jackson Lee planned to resign as chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. The move came in the wake of a lawsuit filed by a former staffer earlier in January that claimed the staffer was fired in retaliation for her planned legal action related to an alleged rape by a supervisor in 2015. The resignation came the day after the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence announced it would not support making Jackson Lee the lead sponsor of a law to reauthorize the federal Violence Against Women Act.[17] She also stepped down from her chairmanship of the House Judiciary subcommittee.[18]

On January 4, 2021, Jackson Lee introduced the Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act (H.R. 127; 117th Congress), a bill that expanded requirements for firearm licensing to every firearm and banned any ammunition of .50 caliber BMG or larger.[19]

In the 117th Congress (2021–2023), Jackson Lee voted with President Joe Biden's stated position 100 percent of the time, according to a FiveThirtyEight analysis.[20] Jackson Lee and Representative Lloyd Doggett became co-deans of Texas's congressional delegation in January 2023 after the retirement of Eddie Bernice Johnson.

So who appoints her replacement?
‘Cause this is gonna be a hoot.

House vacancies don't get filled by appointment.
Special elections are held.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

That was fast. Really fast.

Too bad it wasn't George and Alex Soros that croaked instead. Had it been those two evil scumbags it would be time for champagne and caviar.

The Governor does her district is in Houston which is a blue city so a Democrat will in all probability win it back pretty quick.

I guess her staff won't get yelled at any more. RIP and all that. I don't know a lot about her politics.

She was as big a name as Jimmy Belinski was. I'm sure folks will be mourning her loss for centuries to come.

She was a mega commie and thought the moon is made up of mostly gas. She was dumber than Hank Johnson, you know the guy that was worried about Guam tipping over.

So she got one bill passed into law in 30 years, and it was a pain in the ass for truck drivers going into ports, even small insignificant ones. And the TWIC card doesn't come for free.
