Then again, what doesn’t offend Jackson Lee?
(The Hill) — Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said Tuesday evening that she is “insulted” and “offended” by Republicans who said today that a deal on the debt ceiling is impossible to reach as long as President Obama is in the White House.
“If we are negotiating the debt ceiling, we should not have leaders in the room that make the statement that we’ll have no resolution because Barack Obama is president,” Jackson Lee said on the floor. “I’m insulted, offended, and it is not becoming as adults.”
Jackson Lee was apparently referring to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who said there is “little question that as long as this president is in the Oval Office, a real solution is unattainable.”
