Rep. Jackson Lee: ‘Are You Calling Me A Liar?’
Texas Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee (D) and Pete Sessions (R) engaged in a fierce debate over the economy on the House floor Wednesday afternoon.
After Sessions disputed Jackson Lee’s claim that the country is in a recession, Jackson Lee responded, “Are you calling me a liar?”
Sessions and Jackson Lee talked over each other until order was restored, but not before Jackson Lee called on Sessions’s comments to “be taken down.”
Her initial call for a parliamentary inquiry was denied and she walked away from the well of the House.
Later, she revisited the issue and made her case again on the state of the economy.
