Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee Forced Out of Leadership Posts by Intern Sex Scandal

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) made a habit of demanding President Trump’s resignation, so this is certainly interesting news:
Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee is reportedly resigning as chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation and as chair of a congressional subcommittee amid allegations she retaliated against a former staffer who claimed she was raped by a foundation supervisor.
Both BuzzFeed and The New York Times report Jackson Lee will leave as chair of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, a non-profit group closely aligned with the Congressional Black Caucus.
She will also leave her position temporarily as chair of a House Judiciary subcommittee.
The Democrat came under pressure last week to resign her posts after she was accused in a Jan. 11 lawsuit of retaliating against a former staffer who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Damien Jones, a former intern supervisor at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation.
The woman, who goes by Jane Doe in the court filings, claims she was raped by Jones in October 2015, when she was an intern at the foundation. . . .
The woman began working in November 2017 as a staffer for Jackson Lee. According to her lawsuit, she asked Jackson Lee’s chief of staff in March 2018 to meet with the lawmaker to discuss her alleged rape. The meeting never occurred, and the woman was fired soon after from Jackson Lee’s office.
Shouldn’t the “believe women” narrative Democrats used against Brett Kavanaugh apply to Jane Doe, who was allegedly raped by a Democrat, and fired when she reported it to the Democrat congresswoman?
