Last week, the Queen of England Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee stole another passenger’s first-class seat aboard a United Airlines flight. After the passenger complained and the story was picked up by media, the Congresswoman was quick to immediately play the race card and released this humorously ironic statement:

“Since this was not any fault of mine, the way the individual continued to act appeared to be, upon reflection, because I was an African American woman, seemingly an easy target along with the African American flight attendant who was very, very nice,” the Texas Democrat wrote in a post. “This saddens me, especially at this time of year given all of the things we have to work on to help people.”

Right… because we should all be “working to help” and bend over backward for Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee when Christmas rolls around. Well, if that statement wasn’t stand-alone funny enough, it turns out that the passenger whose seat Jackson Lee stole is a human-rights activist.
