Original Note:
This is not a real quote and is in fact satire. The quote attributed to Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas about "homicide" being "the leading cause of murder" originated with a now-defunct satire site called The Habanero of Texas. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-democrat-politician-quotes/false-claim-sheila-jackson-joe-biden-elizabeth-warren-and-alexandra-ocasio-cortez-made-the-statements-in-this-social-media-post-idUSKBN20T146 https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sheila-jackson-lee-homicide/
