The MSM is so fixed towards liberals. Nothing about her was trailblazing.

[cyzuri]

She has done nothing while there that helped Texans.

[minigirl]

I'm so thankful she's gone and can no longer have a say in what goes on in my state! She was horrible for Texas.

[pjroyse]

I almost choked when I saw that TRAILBLAZER…..she was a criminal !!

[billybudapest]

This woman was such a hypocrite. Her behavior during the Congressional hearings on the WACO incident was despicable. She had no core principles or morals, rather whatever Democrats did was good and morally justified, while whatever Republicans did was bad and immoral. And whatever was good for Sheila Jackson needed to be done ASAP. Let's hope she gets replaced with someone who is actually interested in serving the public good.

she did absolutely nothing for anyone other than herself may god be merciful.

I’ll never celebrate someone dying, but she was not a good person. Very racist, did more harm than good. Maybe she was a decent family member, but for sure was an awful politician.

[georgew]

So sad--NOT! Just kidding. Good to see her district is finally free of her.

[lavonnekelly]

I don't like to say bad things about the dead(I am not a democrat), but really...We all saw how she is all I ever heard from her...May she rest in peace...

[wlh]

She had one year of experience 29 times as with her it was always just about race, race race. The same thing over and over again year after years.

[fstbr]

Honestly, she was terrible at her job and its hard to cry over someone that did not even like her own supporters. She was very well protected or she would have been voted out of Congress decades ago. We can only hope Texas can finally elect someone better.

[mariocarrillo]

May she rest in peace...if she can....

[MacheteMambi]

Pro baby murder and disordered lifestyles. I hope she received confession and sacraments. This is a lesson that we must all be right with God. May our Lord have mercy on her soul. 🙏

Congress Lifer .. held the 18th district HOSTAGE and is now free from this horrible woman.

[MsBamaMom]

I have never agreed with her agenda, but she is a human being and I pray for her and her family.

[jimfalls]

Trailblazing on how not to conduct your life and treat others.

[CherlyAutry]

May Congress Lady Sheila Jackson Lee rest peacefully. No more tears and fears of the unknown journey of death. Thanks.

[John-jv]

She was no trailblazer, she did her best to tear this country down.

[mrsmc]

Pray for her soul. I'm sure she needs prayers. She was not "a great American." She was devisive, and did her best to divide and destroy this country. May God have mercy on her soul.

Just because you spent 30 years in congress doesn’t mean you did anything right and always divided people not unify but rip
