BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, was recently heard on recorded audio going off on one of her staff members in a profanity-laced tirade in which she said he and another staff member had no brains and are “f- -k-ups.”
In audio obtained by Texas newspaper Current Revolt and published on Saturday Jackson Lee is heard speaking with a male staff member when she asked, “You took a piece of paper from that woman regarding something that was owned by Duncantell. Where is it? What date was it?”
The man answered by telling the representative he gave the piece of paper to Jerome, who took it upstairs. The staff member then tells Jackson Lee he has to call Jerome, before being cut off.
“I don’t want you to do a [expletive] thing,” she said. “I want you to have a [expletive] brain. I want you to have read it. I want you to say, ‘Congresswoman, it was such and such a date. That’s what I want. That’s the kind of staff that I want to have.”
“When I called Jerome, he only sits up there like a fat [expletive], just talking about what the [expletive] he doesn’t know,” she said. “Both of y’all are [expletive]-ups…This is the worst [expletive] that I could’ve ever had put together. Two [expletive] big [expletive] children. [expletive] idiots. Serve no [expletive] purpose.
“Nobody’s respecting him, nobody gives a [expletive] about what you’re doing. And you ain’t doing [expletive]. And this is an example of it. I gave it to Jerome. This is not child’s work, ok,” Jackson Lee said.
When question about her tirade, she viewed it differently from everyone that heard it.
“There are many leaders that rally their troops using different methods. I use vulgarity, rage, and belittling. People can criticize me, but this is my version of a motivational speech.”
