Before anybody reads on, I want you to imagine a reverse role here: the passenger is a black customer who was booted out of first class so a white Republican Congress person could have her seat.
An airline spokeswoman said Monday that its internal systems show the passenger, Jean-Marie Simon, canceled her Dec. 18 seat from Houston to Washington, D.C. after a weather delay.
Simon took to Facebook late Monday night to say that she did not receive an apology from United. She said the $500 travel voucher she received was issued at the gate as compensation for bumping her from her seat. She said the gate agent gave her an ultimatum to “take the voucher and get on the plane or find another flight.”
Simon denies that she canceled the flight. She was given a seat in Economy Plus on the flight, and told the Houston Chronicle she saw Jackson Lee sitting in the seat that was assigned to her.
Jackson Lee posted a statement on Facebook.
“Unfortunately, it looks like the Grinch is trying to steal the spirit of the holiday,” Lee Jackson said in a statement. “Since this was not any fault of mine, the way the individual continued to act appeared to be, upon reflection, because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target along with the African American flight attendant who was very, very nice. This saddens me, especially at this time of year given all of the things we have to work on to help people.”
Passenger denies getting apology after airline gives her seat to congresswoman
So first this pig takes a passengers seat, then makes it a race/ political issue. Isn't this so typical of Democrat politics that many of us are sick of? And how big of a story would this be if the situation were reversed?
I can understand the possibility of Lee not knowing the airline kicked another person out to give her the seat, but after learning of the problem, shouldn't she have at least offered the passenger her seat back? Instead, she goes on to say how it was not her fault.
If Lee had offered me back my seat after she had sat in it I wouldn't have EVER sat in that seat!Only a racist would complain about being displaced by a black. A white should be HONORED to have their seat taken.
FYI- third thread on this...
That's right, it's not her fault, it's all the airlines doing.....Before anybody reads on, I want you to imagine a reverse role here: the passenger is a black customer who was booted out of first class so a white Republican Congress person could have her seat.

My understanding is that airlines routinely overbook.
It is not surprising that a Congresswoman was NOT the one bumped.
That was not her fault but the airline's.
That she made it racial, is her fault, and she is a race baiting piece of shit.
But we all knew that already.
Call her put? WTF? If this was golf I could understand...It’s not at all likely that one liberal will call her put on her behavior.

I didn't feel like adding an "s".YOU SPELLED FORGIT WRONG! ASSHOLE!You fergot to look left and right...FYI- third thread on this...

Politicians are shown more privilege than the peons like us are, but what would have been funny as hell is if the airline had made a black person give up their seat!
Then Trump uses his "liberal" privilege weekly..Derp...FYI- third thread on this...
Good. People should know about this crap.
Elite liberal scum using her privilege as an elected official for her personal gain.
How very liberal.

Well we always hear how the Democrat leaders are for the little people. True, she may not have not known somebody was kicked out of the seat she had, but to not offer the seat back and instead, try to make the customer look like a racist is beyond being a lowlife---even for a Democrat.
