I might be inclined to believe that until I read the comments to this article in the Houston Chron(nicle).

Apparently the "Congresswoman" has a long history of entitled behavior.

In any case, I doubt United, after all their troubles with passengers, would do this to anyone on purpose.

I am sure if a white republican had taken her seat she wouldn't have said a word.
That “stupid woman” is a graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard Law and was a Fulbright scholarship and was awarded the Bunting fellowship (Radcliffe/Harvard). She’s an attorney, teacher and photojournalist who lived in and reported from Guatemala during the 80’s. Since you show such disdain, surely your credentials are far superior.

I'm looking for actual proof in this instance. Not speculation based on political bias.

The woman cries "racist" to take a first class airline seat from a school teacher who used 140,000 FF miles for it. This in 2017.

If that piece is 15 years old, it only speaks to what a despicable reprehensible woman that Sheila Jackson Lee has been during that period.

... which is one of the reasons I provided the history. United is scared to death of her. SJ Lee could cause them a ton of trouble... the passenger, only a minor inconvenience. Now if enough passengers gave United a hard time, they may change their tune.

She is not in my district... she has a HISTORY.

You just don't know... but feel free to keep your head in the sand. She is an equal opportunity offender - black, white, doesn't matter.

So, what about THIS case? All I see is people bringing up ad hominem attacks on her mostly based on political affiliation. Show me the proof that SJL had this woman booted out of first class.

LOL

Maybe you should go look up what that means.

What some Sheila Jackson Lee cheerleaders here fail to comprehend is: Had this been a Republican congressman or woman who ousted another passenger from their seat, but especially a non-white person, the liberal posse would be hysterical, calling for his resignation. But it seems to be just fine if it is a black woman. In Liberal Navel-gazer Land, liberals must be allowed to be as self-absorbed and self-deluded as they choose to be, and everyone else has to adjust the atmosphere so that liberals are never offended or have to think about anyone besides themselves.

Again - not political with me... she's just mean.

Have fun with your head in the sand. You are not taking up anymore of my time with this.
