Democrat Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee represents Houston, which has one of the largest Vietnamese American populations in the US, and sits on Foreign Affairs and Homeland Security committees. She is highly educated, earning a B.A. in Political Science from Yale University with honors and a J.D. from the University of Virginia Law School. She has befriended and spoken at various Vietnamese American community events in Houston and elsewhere, many times as keynote speaker.
Yet, listen to her House floor speech about the Vietnam War, the "two Vietnams," peace, and human rights.
We demand an apology from Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
We also recommends to the congresswoman a quick review of U.S. history, especially the history of Vietnam War, US-Vietnam relations, and current human rights situation in Vietnam to save herself from making further embarrassing and offensive comments the next time she addresses these topics again.
