Bad Reputation
Sheila Jackson Lee is a typical moonbat with a volatile temper that throws outragous verbal bombs that have people scratching their heads "Are you serious?" In June 2011, Rep Peter King held congressional hearing on Muslim radicalization in U.S. prisons. Defending her Muslim campaign contributors, Lee said "that investigators needed to analyze "Christian militants" in America because they too might try to bring down the country.” Other notable statements include "Repealing ObamaCare Violates Constitution." In Defense of NPR, Lee Wants to 'Defund' Fox News, which of course is not funded by the government. Lee asked a guide whether the Mars Pathfinder had taken a photograph of the flag planted on Mars by Neil Armstrong in 1969, Amstrong planted a flag on the moon. Lee spoke at an NAACP meeting (to applause) where she derided the Tea Party movement as a racist phenomenon. Lee said North and South Vietnam had managed to forge a peaceful relationship with one another in the years since the Vietnam War, South Vietnam ceased to exist on July 2, 1976. Lee calls on the government to stop the policy of giving hurricanes “lily white” names, adding that she hoped the weather establishment in the future “would try to be inclusive of African American names” such as “Keisha, Jamal and Deshawn.” Lee has called for improved relations between the United States and Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela.
