I told yall I saw SJL there.....
 
HOUSTON -
It turns out the red carpet for the Grammys isn’t reserved for celebrities, the uber wealthy and the Hollywood elite.
 
Texas Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee was spotted at the awards ceremony in Los Angeles on Sunday rubbing shoulders with some of the industry’s heaviest hitters.
 
Her attendance with Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz has reportedly created quite a stir on social media and is raising questions over who foot the bill. A staff member from Jackson Lee’s, Washington D.C., office tells KPRC2 the congresswoman paid for the trip out of her own pocket.
 
KPRC2 caught up with Jackson Lee who was back in Houston Monday, talking about the importance of the measles vaccination. When asked about the trip, she wouldn’t directly answer the question.
 
"I let my staff, they handle all of my information, and I let my staff handle it, and I will address the question," she said.
 
KPRC2 attempted to follow up with another question regarding the reported social media backlash. Some have sharply criticized the public elected officials, who are known as big proponents for income equality.
 
Glenn Rushing, Jackson Lee’s chief of staff, said politicians are invited every year to the Grammys by the event organizers, but this was Jackson Lee’s first time attending. He reiterated that Jackson Lee paid for the trip with her own money.

Nawh, don't lock it @elguapo. I think the funding for that trip should be explored. There was zero business going on there. It was all cameras and party. 4951

We can use her response for her trip to Michael Jackson's funeral for this also:
 
"Who paid for that trip for you to go to the Grammy's?" a reporter asked Jackson Lee.
 
"Well, uh...that umm..those resources are resources that I have and, therefore, they are in a way that does not interfere with anything that has to do with serving the United States Congress," answered Jackson Lee.
 
"Understood," the reporter replied. "So, public funds?"
 
"Those resources are resources that I have," said Jackson Lee. 4951

I got the pleasure of handing out free turkeys at Thanksgiving time to her constituents. By order of the mayors office. It was several years ago but I'm sure that kind of crap is still going on. Why do I feel that they would throw my *** in jail If I were a politician bribing voters. Anyway you look at it, that's what it is "bribery" but somehow some politicians get away with it. 4951

No. Even in a very subtle color, she would still be salivating over a camera that was in air. She wouldn't have been able to resist getting in front of it, to camera-ho it up. Looks like this time, her camera hungry fetish is going to get her in a ton of hot water.
 
The visual just isn't good....she represents the poorest disenfranchised neglected and overlooked people in Houston. Now, pan over to her, likely using taxpayer money, to go party with Hollywood's elite and famous. 4951
