Vice President Harris accidentally called herself “president' on Thursday while delivering a eulogy for late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, before quickly correcting herself.
Vice President Harris suffered a slip of the tongue at a memorial service for late Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, when she seemingly mixed up her own title while delivering Jackson Lee's eulogy. While honoring Jackson for working to make Juneteenth a federal holiday, Harris slipped and gave herself a new title. 'It was Sheila Jackson Lee whose bill made Juneteenth a federal holiday. Which, as a United States senator, I was proud to co-sponsor.
'There was never a trite or trivial conversation with the congresswoman. She was always fighting for the people of Houston and the people of America.' REP SHEILA JACKSON LEE HAS PASSED AWAY AFTER BATTLE WITH PANCREATIC CANCER Harris said she spoke with Jackson Lee days before her death, thanking her for the impact she made on her career. 'You know, a few days before she passed, I called her, and I expressed my sincere and deep gratitude for all she had done.
