Rep. Jackson Lee’s Past Comes Back to Haunt: ‘I Demand to be Treated Like a Queen’

Former employees compare her to a “master” on a “slave plantation.”

Perhaps it’s time to start referring to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) as Diva Jackson Lee because apparently, she demands to be treated like royalty everywhere she goes.

As we reported earlier this week, a woman was kicked out of first-class on a United Airlines flight to Washington D.C. and her seat given to the congresswoman. The infuriated passenger was moved to Economy Plus and launched a complaint against the airline. Jackson Lee said the only reason the woman filed a complaint was because she is a racist, even though the passenger didn’t know a black woman had taken her seat. Luckily, the woman was seated next to another Texas congressman who said Jackson Lee is known to be a traveling nightmare. And now, even more sources have come to light that indicate this is the norm not the exception.

According to a 1998 report in the Houston Press, Jackson Lee, who was voted into office four years earlier, was incensed that a white congressman was driven to a civil rights re-enactment while she didn’t get the same VIP treatment. She reportedly yelled at a staffer, “You don’t understand. I am a queen, and I demand to be treated like a queen.”

She also proved to be trouble for Continental Airlines back in her early years in office. Once, she found out the flight menu didn’t include a seafood meal for her and she lost it.

“She screamed at the top of her lungs at least a minute,” a Continental employee said at the time. “She embarrassed the flight attendants and the passengers in first class. And she embarrassed herself.”

Jackson Lee was quoted as saying, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. Where is my seafood meal? I know it was ordered!”

According to the congresswoman’s former staffer, Jackson Lee always demanded three first-class reservations that she would decide at the last minute which to use. Continental was “fed up with the arrangement” and downgraded her reservations to coach class. As you might guess, that didn’t go over well.
