Leaked: Sheila Jackson Lee Caught Viciously
Verbally Abusing a Staffer in Secret Recording

Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought, 10/22/2023 1:52:03 AM

A leaked audio recording is causing trouble for Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee after it showed her viciously verbally abusing a staffer. Lee, who is currently running to become the Mayor of Houston, one of America's largest cities, is heard on the recording berating the staffer over what sounds like a calendar issue. The language used is very adult-only, to say the least, and as you'll hear, it goes far beyond what anyone should consider normal or acceptable. Here's the transcript provided by the above post. Sheila Jackson Lee • 0:01 - 0:09: Uh, you took a piece of paper from that woman, uh, regarding, uh, something that was owned

This is an "October Surprise" - early voting starts Monday. The Houston Chronicle published this story earlier this evening framing it as being first reported on "Republican social media sites" Saturday. The Chronicle admitted they and other media sites received the recording Friday morning and immediately reached out (apparently often) to Lee's staff for comment. They received a reply Saturday evening that attacked the report as coming from "extremely conservative blogs and political operatives of John Whitmire;" but, there was no denial. So the Chronicle proved the audio and some barely disguised not safe for work printed quotes for its Sunday readership (if they print it on paper.) The Whitmire camp denies being behind this, but they don't seem to be too upset about it.

You can take the girl out the ghetto, but it be real hard to take the ghetto out the girl. SJL has never been known for her mental acuity nor her civility. Exactly the kind of individual who should NEVER be near the levers of power in a civilized country. Houston, you have a problem since she probably will be elected mayor.

Someone I know who works on CH says the pompous critters of all colors (Senate in particular) are rude, entitled, and treat the staff like trash. She-lia has been wearing that signature wrapped braid for decades; she must have closets full of them. She should understand that she being her dumb self begets a dumb staff. They see her slacking and taking advantage, so that's what they do. They're only there for the ride, mutt, just like you. This is a case for these critters having full time jobs in the states that they represent. They can vote electronically and only receive a stipend when they meet biannually. They can get a $250 gift card when they have to cast a vote. It would save US money and our country. Everything she said about them, we say about her.

Her opponent for Houston Mayor, state Senator Whitmire is also a Dem. There's a story about SJL's DC staff having a birthday party during a Congressional break, when things are a bit lax. Knock at the door of a nearby GOP staffer, its one of SJL' s crew, asking to borrow a knife to cut the cake. The GOP staffer lends a knife, but says she is surprised they didn't have one. The SJL staffer replies, Well, its a good idea not to have anything sharp in our office.

Where's HR? You can't get away with verbally abusing staff in the real world. Some rules just don't apply to the entitled. Now, if it were me, I'd be on every platform I could find telling the world what a terrible critter she is. And, I'd have lots of recordings and first hand examples. On her and several others. No sympathy for her workers, though. They probably think they deserve it.

Executives with France-based Michelin announced that they will soon close a tire production plant in Ardmore, Oklahoma, laying off 1,400 American workers in the process. The decision comes as cheap foreign imported tires from low-wage countries flood the United States market. On Thursday, Michelin executives said they would wind down production at the Ardmore plant. Supporting industries and local businesses are likely to take a hit as well. The plant has produced passenger tires for more than five decades, dating back to 1970, and it is a vital employer for the community of about 25,000 residents — conveniently situated between Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Dallas, Texas.

RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Israeli troops and tanks briefly raided northern Gaza overnight, the military said Thursday, engaging with Hamas fighters and targeting anti-tank weapons in order to “prepare the battlefield” before an expected ground invasion. The third Israeli raid since the war began came after more than two weeks of devastating airstrikes that have left thousands dead, and more than 1 million displaced from their homes, in the small, densely-populated territory. Arab leaders made a joint plea Thursday for a cease-fire to end civilian suffering and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, where Israel has imposed a suffocating siege ever since Hamas’ rampage and hostage-taking in southern Israel ignited the war.
