I remember when, during the Obama administration, the Justice Department issued warnings about violent right-wing extremists, conservatives assumed they were talking about them.
We were stuck with her as our representative for YEARS and YEARS and YEARS. We finally got rid of her when we got redistricted and somehow got lucky enough to have Kathy Manning until the Rs gerrymandered our district. Now we are stuck without even having a D to run because no one would spend the time/effort/money because they knew there is no way a Democrat can win in this heavily gerrymandered NC district 6. We may have worse now with Addison McDowell who is young enough that now we will be stuck with him until he's old and withered like Virginia Foxx.
In my observation, only one party currently: engages in voter suppression, gerrymandering, dog whistling, gaslighting, race-baiting, and generally trying anything to undermine fair elections. Your predicament is emblematic of that party of crooked shitbags. Sorry for you, the state of Virginia, and our nation.
She's straight from Central casting. I'm pretty sure I've seen her in every photo of white bigots yelling at Black children trying to go to school in the 1950s.
When someone says something pejorative but non-specific, and you immediately assume they were talking about you, maybe you need to rethink your life choices.
Reminds me of the great scene in Dune (unfortunately not in the movie, though I heard that they did film it, but it got cut due to time considerations). During a fancy dinner party, young Paul remarks about merchants taking unconscionable advantage of the poor. One merchant takes great offense, at the edge of calling the teen out (yes, that society did duels). Paul's mother says something to the effect of "My son presents a garment and you claim it is tailored to fit you."
Guess what got this perpetual harpy so het up was the cultural appropriation aspect. After all, Rep. Casten is from IL, and ‘white folks of low character’ has a decidedly Tennessee Williams lilt to it.
Maybe Meemaw was upset about missing her appointment with her hair dresser, my lord, she looks a fright. I do like the quote which is much classier than white trash or ignorant garbage or ...well we could go on forever. I bet bad hair days have started wars.
You just know Virginia Foxx was one of the ladies screaming epithets at Black students being admitted to her segregated school.
But alas, she, like Three Names, is but a funhouse mirror reflection of the constituents who elect her year after year. She's doing her job there, to hurt American minorities for their benefit by opposing Democratic bills.
Nope - he meant it in the classic pejorative way, which is why he’d been trying to make the Willie Brown story fetch. He knew Prezactly what he was saying; so did she, but didn’t bat an eyelash. Kamala is beyond kewl.
Having served on some borough zoning and planning committees and having attended a number of borough council and school board meetings, I know Virginia Foxx. I've never actually met Virginia Foxx, but, boy, do I know Virginia Foxx. They may go by other names, but they're all Virginia Foxx.

Until the "shut up" moment, I had never heard of this nasty horror.
Virginia Foxx has always been and continues to be a disgrace to my state.
I just want a reporter to ask her if she's closely related to Redd Foxx. Thermonuclear meltdown is guaranteed
And does she share similar views with Mark Robinson? 😎
No doubt. Redd would simply plotz.
She's straight from Central casting. I'm pretty sure I've seen her in every photo of white bigots yelling at Black children trying to go to school in the 1950s.
Because she has Little Rocks in her head.

Translation: she knows she's a white person of low character and she resents being called what she really is.
She heard: 'White Foxx of low character'
Rep. Sean Casten: “...certain white folks of low character...”
Rep. Virginia Foxx: "I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!"
Jamie Foxx is way cooler than Virginia Foxx.
Foxxy Lady!
“I don’t wanna take you home
I want you to do no harm,
Have you been stuck in a coal mine?
Y'all sucks, Foxxy Lady!”
Stay classy, shouty broad.

Foxx looks like someone let the air out of Barbara Bush.
WHAT? She's dead! It's been long enough!
Masterful.

I doubt she ever stopped.
I literally just posted the same thing!;
I heard she gave BJ's to David Duke....
you mean, as in the words of the 45th POTUS, she ‘put out’?! Likelier, her beau would have been Lester Maddox.
Yeah...I think he was trying to say that Harris herself "put out" that she was "Indian" and has been misconstrued...but I'll allow it.

When she retires she will head an HOA to have REAL POWER!
