Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) made several gaffes during an interview on CNN with Alisyn Camerota about the effects of Hurricane Harvey and what help Texans needed from the federal government.
Camerota was pressuring the representative on why she skipped the vote to fund relief efforts for the destruction following upon Hurricane Sandy on the east coast in 2012 and 2013.
“But just so that everybody’s clear,” Camerota said, “we’re talking about superstorm Sandy, that’s what we’re talking about in 2012 and 2013, and just so that we’re clear, since you’re saying that you voted along with Democrats to give the maximum amount, why did you skip that vote, the House, the HR152 [legislation]?”
