Congresswoman Caught Between MJ and Murray
Originally posted 11 minutes ago by TMZ Staff
Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee is in a tough spot ... she's showing up for a Dr. Conrad Murray support rally on Monday, a year after she eulogized Michael Jackson at his memorial in L.A..
The Congresswoman spoke at the Staples Center memorial in L.A. on July 7, 2009, praising Jackson for his humanitarian deeds. She even tried unsuccessfully to get Congress to pass a resolution praising Jackson.
Now fast forward to Monday. Sources tell us the pastors who organized the Murray rally invited the Congresswoman -- their church is in her district. She accepted, we're told because Dr. Murray has done an enormous amount for the community and it's bad politics for her to turn her back on Murray who many of her constituents call "a local hero."
We called Congresswoman Lee's office and the staff was in meltdown. The Chief of Staff says he's only been on the job for 30 days so he didn't know anything. When we requested that he call the Congresswoman and ask her, he hung up on us.
Her Constituents call Murray a 'local Hero"??? For killing the KOP?? I Can't believe this statement! Where is an MK ULtra Loony with a High Powered Rifle when we really need one <!-- s:?: -->:?:<!-- s:?: -->
