This Democrat Congresswoman’s Office Used The IRS As A Threat Against Someone Who Called In To Ask A Question

When Dwayne Horner called Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee’s office to ask a question, he probably didn’t think he would be treated rudely. But that’s precisely what happened.

In a speech on the House floor, Jackson Lee said that Democrats did not try to impeach President Bush when he was in office. That is false – in fact, she was a cosponsor of a 2008 bill that tried to do just that!

Horner called her office, asking her to explain the blatant contradiction. First, he got an admission of guilt. “We are aware that the congresswoman has made contradicting statements in her remarks on the floor,” the person who answered the phone said. Then, Horner spoke to another staffer.

“Oh look it here, we have one of those right wing, tea-bagger nut jobs on the phone taking his cues from FOX News,” said staffer told Horner. After Horner reminded him that he was a taxpayer, and that taxpayer dollars fund her office, he replied, “I doubt you even pay taxes and the IRS will find you soon enough.” 

Using the IRS – in light of the IRS scandal – to threaten a caller? Congresswoman Jackson Lee, call your office. Actually, don’t, because if that’s how they treat taxpayers, I’m not sure you’ll want to.

From PJ Media: 

That was startling. I asked to speak to someone in the office to register my thoughts on a congresswoman lying on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. From there, it got crazy but not as crazy, and then a little crazier.

I was transferred to a gentleman on Lee’s staff. When I again asked him about the contradiction and stated that perhaps I was confused, the man said “Oh look it here, we have one of those right wing, tea-bagger nut jobs on the phone taking his cues from FOX News.” 

He then accused me of being un-American, raising his voice at me while asking me to calm down, and telling me that I am just on some mission to destroy our country. When I calmly asked for his name, he said “I don’t have to give it to you because I don’t want to show up on some right wing blog and be on your Twitter account.” Keep in mind, I never said who I was – he just made assumptions and attacked me. When I reminded him that he gets paid by our tax dollars, he said “I doubt you even pay taxes and the IRS will find you soon enough,” and hung up on me.
