...but co-sponsored a 2008 bill to do just that. 
'She misspoke,' said a spokesman for Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee
Ooooh...those pesky facts.
'She misspoke,' said a spokesman for Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee
During a floor speech on Wednesday night, Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee voiced her opposition to the House Republican lawsuit against President Barack Obama and said that Democrats had never moved to impeach former President George W. Bush when he was in office.
“A historical fact that President Bush pushed this nation into a war that had little to do with apprehending terrorists,” Jackson Lee said. “We did not seek an impeachment of President Bush, because as an executive, he had his authority. President Obama has the authority.”
It's an odd thing for Jackson Lee to say, because it was just six years ago that she helped lead a movement to impeach Bush by co-sponsoring a bill accusing him of high crimes and misdemeanors.
Ooooh...those pesky facts.
