A United passenger whose first-class seat on a recent flight from
Houston to D.C. was given to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is firing back at
the Democratic congresswoman’s accusations of racism – while challenging
the airline’s account of the incident.
Jean-Marie Simon, an attorney and private school teacher, became the
latest face of airline passenger woes when she detailed on Facebook and
later to the news media how she lost her seat to the Texas lawmaker.
But despite a statement from United seeking to explain the
switch-out, she’s not giving up the fight. And the congresswoman’s
response – essentially claiming Simon made a scene because Jackson Lee,
as an African-American woman, is an “easy target” – did not calm the
waters.
