On Friday, a number of Twitter users reported that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee essentially made a fool of herself while disrupting the Electoral College count and certification. Reports coming from Twitter users observing the count indicate that she’s objected to every single state count so far.

Maybe not every one, but she did object quite a bit.
According to The Hill:
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

According to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Jackson Lee was cut off when she started mentioning the alleged Russian hacks:
Rep Sheila Jackson Lee objecting to the Wisconsin count "… the Russian intrusion into the" and then cut off.

Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., also objected:

It seems Vice President Joe Biden is one of the few adults in the room…
#VPBiden shutting down Sheila Jackson Lee and friends who want to debate during Electoral College certification. "There will be no debate".

Maddow added:
Sheila Jackson Lee objecting to Mississippi electoral certification "We are seeking a United States Senator…"

Raul Grijalva & Sheila Jackson Lee both object to certification of results from North Carolina. No Senator joins the objection, and it dies.

This is significant — House members can object all they want, but those objections are meaningless unless they can get support from a member of the Senate.
"I object to the vote from South Carolina because of Russian intrusion into the election…" Sheila Jackson Lee objects, gets shouted at…

Here’s video of Jackson Lee raising an objection:
Indeed, an embarrassment to the Lone Star State…

Just want to point out for the record that I've never voted for Sheila Jackson Lee. But I'm about to call her office.

Jackson Lee, by the way, was once dubbed the “Congressional boss from Hell” in a series of articles by the Daily Caller — and with good reason.
Marxist rabble rouser Sheila Jackson Lee has yapped her dumb angry mouth for decades & accomplished nothing. Her constituents deserve better
— TedX Cruzsader (@TEDX_Cruz) January 6, 2017
Frankly, the entire country deserves better…
This is a breaking report, no doubt there’ll be much more to come. Stay tuned and break out the popcorn…
