Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (Texas) took a knee on the House floor Monday evening in solidarity with NFL players who do the same during the national anthem.
President Donald Trump touched off a firestorm in the NFL when he said Friday that owners should fire players who refuse to stand for the national anthem, remarking "get that son of a bitch off the field."
Jackson Lee slammed Trump's invective against the players during her House floor speech.
"That is racism. You cannot deny it, you cannot run for it, and I kneel in honor of them," she said, dropping to her knees. "I kneel in honor of the First Amendment. I kneel because the flag is a symbol for freedom. I kneel because I'm going to stand against racism."

"I kneel because I will stand with those young men, and I'll stand with our soldiers, and I'll stand with America, because I kneel," she concluded
What?
-
Forget it. She's rolling.
-
What?
Very typical SLJ eloquence in her verbiage.
-
What an embarrassment.
-
She makes Maxine Waters, seem intelligent on some days.

Well the silver lining is.... all of these anti-American leftist dimwits are exposing themselves for what they truly are, what they've always been, and what they always will be. The downside is.... we will probably have to put up with their moronic BS for quite a lot longer.

It does seem appropriate that the likes of SJ Lee should act submissive to her superiors.
She is too dumb to understand the image she projects.

I often though a Sheila Jackson Lee-Maxine Waters ticket would have been hilarious to watch.
Thank goodness, they would't have a chance in Hades of winning, but it would be entertaining.

It would be interesting. I thought in 2004 when Al Sharpton was on the Democrat primary tour it was a comedy act.
