"Hillary-endorsed Houston mayoral candidate Sheila Jackson Lee's profanity-laced tirade shocks staff"

Sheila Jackson Lee, a Democratic congresswoman endorsed by Hillary Clinton, was caught on recorded audio berating one of her staff members in a profanity-laced tirade. Known for her reputation as one of the "meanest" members of Congress, Jackson Lee has represented Houston, Texas for over 28 years. She is currently running for mayor of Houston. This incident is not the first time she has mistreated her staff, as previous reports have highlighted her use of demeaning language and long working hours. Jackson Lee was also forced to resign as chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation in 2019 due to a lawsuit alleging retaliation for planned legal action related to an alleged rape by a supervisor.
