If she did in fact implement retaliation, she needs to resign.
Shelia Jackson Lee leaves 2 posts after suit claims retribution for staffer reporting sexual assault
Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has stepped down from two of her key posts as she faces a lawsuit that alleges retribution to a staffer who reported sexual assault.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, a New York Democrat, issued a statement Wednesday announcing his support for Jackson Lee's "decision to voluntarily and temporarily step back from the Crime Subcommittee Chair position."

This was the right thing to do. And the Dems pressuring her out was also the right thing to do.
I wish the Republicans would handle theirs the same way. Allegations against Jim Jordan, yet they ignore it. And remember that creepy guy in Texas? They turned the other way there.
Man, I never thought I'd say this, but the Democrats look like a party of integrity, and the Republicans look bad.
Other than sexually abusing anyone around them, yeah sure, they're wonderful...:roll:This was the right thing to do. And the Dems pressuring her out was also the right thing to do.

Don't forget Doug Jones, Steve King, Joe Arpaio, and Donald Trump. Any Republican who has any integrity resigned, retired, or died.
Are you seriously deluded enough to believe the Democrats don't have corruption? Why not just wish on a fairy godmother?
Why do you people always jump off that cliff? I never said anything about the Democrats, yet people like you always bring them up to justify the vileness you just can't help but defend.
Since you asked, I am not now nor have I ever been a Democrat. They are just as corrupt as Republicans; and I loathe most national politicians. The point of my post was that since the age of Trump began, the Republican party has completely abandoned everything it ever stood for, most significantly, in my opinion, their "family values".
Because you are making these giant generalizations that are hyperbolic horse****. Bad examples exist on both sides, you are portraying one side one way and the other another way when the truth is both are full of corruption and bad faith actors...a lot like here.
PS "you people" use racist euphemisms much?
I'm not generalizing anything. Don't get touchy with me just because "you people" sold your souls and gutted the entire Republican party in three short years by electing and/or supporting people who sexually assault women, open racists, child molesters, and birthers.
I'm not sure how you turned my clear disgust for both parties into portraying one of them one way and the other a different way, but my words speak for themself no matter how you try to mischaracterize them. You're upset because you can't help yourself from defending the indefensible because you care more about political parties than human decency. I'm not standing with any of those creeps.
Any Republican who has any integrity resigned, retired, or died.

Bold = lie
ANY appears to be a rather wide generalization. Don't overstep with hyperbole and it wont be so easy to make your comments look stupid.
Keep grasping at straws, OC. You don't need me for this predictable rant.
Note: rather than call the accuser a lying hoaxer who is conspiring with conservatives to victimize Democrats.
In other news Pritzker, the guy who had phone discussions with Blago about selling an Illinois Senate seat, was elected governor of Illinois.
Just full of integrity....

Hence the word "If" in my OP.
Maybe I'm misreading what you said right in the last post, but to be clear, I wasn't having a go at you. I bounced off what you said to say another related thing.
The point was, at least the D stepped off the committees vs. the reaction to the mere thought that someone might testify against Kavanaugh.
(See also Franken resigning outright vs. response to Roy Moore vs. response to Harvey Weinstein yadda yadda).
"They" tend to defend any conservative who is accused while attacking any liberal who is accused while also attacking other liberals for not attacking accused liberals in a loud enough fashion, and despite said liberals either getting canned by other liberals or stepping down knowing they probably should be canned. It's another triple-or-quadruple-standard ploy.
There are exceptions, but the pattern has become pretty damn stark.
