It looks like this Democrat just landed in hot water as a newly leaked audio has revealed abusive and vulgar language she shares with her staffers. The audio of Texas Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was obtained and published by Current Revolt on October 21.
The clip features an aggressive minute-and-a-half long tirade from the Democratic congresswoman who has served as Texas’ 18th Congressional District since 1995.
Jackson Lee announced in March that she is retiring from Congress to run for Houston Mayor ahead of the upcoming election – but this new development puts a dark cloud over her campaign.
Leaked audio obtained by @CurrentRevolt shows Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee berating a staffer: "F**king idiots serve no goddamn purpose … Nobody gives a shit about what you're doing and you ain't doing shit!"

The release of this audio feed brings attention to a larger problem within politics – one that allows powerful figures to think they can get away with such behavior without any repercussions. It’s a culture of disrespect that sends a clear message: if you’re in power, you don’t have to abide by basic standards of decency or respect other humans around you.
Current Revolt provided a partial transcript of the vulgar audio:
“Sheila Jackson Lee • 0:01 – 0:09
Uh, you took a piece of paper from that woman, uh, regarding, uh, something that was owned by Ducantell. Where is it? What, what date was it?
Staffer • 0:09 – 0:16
Oh, from Jerome took it upstairs. I’ll have to call to pick it up when I switched out the papers. I’ll call him.
Sheila Jackson Lee • 0:17 – 1:02
I don’t want you to do a goddamn thing. I want you to have a f*cking brain. I want you to have read it. I want you to say, Congresswoman, with such and such date. That’s what I want. That’s the kind of staff that I want to have. So some stupid other motherf*cker did it. And, and I don’t have the information. Nobody sent me the information. I need to, uh, ensure my, um, schedule and, uh, you know, if, if Boo Boo did it, shit a** did it, f*ck face did it. And nobody knows a goddamn thing in my office. Okay? Nothing. I gave it to you. Your job was to get it on the calendar, imprint it in your brain, or send me the information back saying, “Congresswoman, I made sure that the Ovide Ducantell event that you gave me, uh, for a so-and-so date at seven is on the f*cking calendar.” Not to, oh, Jerome has it.
Sheila Jackson Lee • 1:02 – 1:33
Okay. So when I called Jerome, he only sitting up there like a fat a** stupid idiot talking about, uh, what the f*ck? He doesn’t know. Okay? Both of y’all are f*ck ups [inaudible]. It’s the worst sh*t that I could have ever had put together. Two g*ddamn big a** children f*cking idiots serve no goddamn purpose. Ain’t managing nobody. Nobody’s respecting them. Nobody gives a sh*t about what you’re doing and you ain’t doing sh*t. And this is an example of it. I gave it to Jerome. This is not child’s work.”

This incident highlights the need for increased scrutiny when it comes to electing people into office – especially those running for higher positions like mayor or governor.
