Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, a US representative who was largely known for her ridiculous comments about history, died after a short battle with cancer following taking the Operation Warp Speed CONvid shot. She was 74.
The Texas Tribune reports:
WASHINGTON — Sheila Jackson Lee, a Houston Democrat who was one of the longest serving members of Texas’ Congressional delegation and a longtime advocate for progressive causes, died on Friday amid her battle with pancreatic cancer. She was 74.
Jackson Lee began her congressional career as an underdog, defeating four-term U.S. Rep. Craig Washington in the 1994 Democratic primary, before establishing herself as a fixture in Congress and Houston with ties to the highest reaches of the Democratic Party.
Jackson Lee was a progressive fixture on Capitol Hill for decades. She was an early opponent of the Iraq War and advocate for gay rights. In 2021, Jackson Lee was arrested for engaging in civil disobedience over a federal voting rights bill. By the time of her death, she was a senior member of the House Judiciary, Homeland Security and Budget committees. She never shied from speaking on the House floor or before the cameras on causes she cared about.
Jackson Lee’s main problem, like most politicians, is that she tried to advance things that were unconstitutional and failed to support bringing justice when it applied to members of her own party.
However, just remember that she took the shot, and like so many who were deceived into taking it, she’s now dead. Here’s the evidence.
