Florida lawmaker's trolling backfires. |
The American voter (I meant, partisan gerrymandering) gave the Republicans control of the House of Representatives. They have a ten seat majority and the party won on the noise of inflation, crime and border security. So as we approach January, we are reminded that the talk about the border has decreased on Fox. Crime is still happening in the country. Mass shootings are everywhere. Inflation is slowly declining.
Today’s rescue mission: saving Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s American flag from the garbage can. @JacksonLeeTX18, anytime you’d like a lesson on flag etiquette, let me know. It’s one of the first things we’re taught in basic training. pic.twitter.com/dZljLi41GA

As you voted against certifying the 2020 election results *after* January 6th, it is not surprising that you would take to Twitter to parrot yet another big lie. Let’s talk about it:

If the only information you had at the time was the view of a flag in a bin labeled “trash”, this was a mistake by the house movers that should have been kindly pointed out to them to be corrected.

Instead of handling the matter with the appropriate authorities, you walked by this flag and did nothing.

So, when I saw your tweet, I reached out to the AOC directly to figure out what was going on. This was their response: pic.twitter.com/0oRlhgoMjC

I am grateful for the men and women of the AOC who do the heavy lifting to move members to new office spaces in a matter of days. They are hard working people and deserve the utmost respect.

In fact, I’ve called your office to no avail to discuss this. I have yet to receive a return call.

If you are interested in a solution, a solution of actual substance, I look forward to engaging with you to develop proper flag etiquette with the AOC to prevent this from happening to any flag in our Capitol in the future.

She also called out his hypocrisy. He was one of 121 members who voted against the certification of Joe Biden for president hours after the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
