Tone Deaf Virginia Foxx Says Americans Don't Work Hard Enough!
Republican women.
I work two jobs. I don't take joy in working these two jobs. I missed working at my previous job. The checks that I get from these two jobs are not enough. I am really hoping for a better 2024 when it comes to jobs.
I literally work more hours and it still not enough. Mainly if I ran for Congress, I get a federal wage of $14,579 a month, trips to foreign countries, staffers, meet and greets with constituents, dealing with protesters, having the luxury of a title and getting lobbyist money would be awesome. Getting a second residence in Washington, DC, working four days a week, having long government breaks, drafting laws, voting on laws, joining caucuses and committees, damn I would have it made. The downside, elections, primaries and of course the junk food media looking to catch you slip.
Some have all the luck.
I am back to dehumanizing this people again. An old, out of touch politician named Virginia Foxx resides in Banner Elk, North Carolina. She has been in office since 2005 and represents Western North Carolina to the Triad [Winston-Salem/Greensboro/High Point] suburbs. The 5th Congressional District is a Republican stronghold.
Once Republicans in state legislature get their gerrymandered map passed, it will be even more Republican strongholds with Democratic leaning cities blended with Republican districts.
Foxx is as old as President Joe Biden. No one is criticizing her age, her cognitive abilities and her rhetoric. I mean she talks like she was a former Klan leader. She probably was.
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) was a former educator turned politician. She was a member of North Carolina's state senate before getting elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
She is infamous for spreading the Barack Obama birther conspiracy. She supported Donald J. Trump and his Muslim ban, his immigration separation policies and his fight to overturn the 2020 presidential election. She is one of the leading figures in trying to impeach Biden.
Foxx is what Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is going turn out to be.
A bitter old racist woman.
Foxx was in the news earlier this year when she told ABC reporter Rachel Scott to shut up twice when she legitimately questioned House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-NC) attempt to back Trump delegitimizing of the election. Scott is a Black woman.
New: Two weeks after GOP Rep. Virginia Foxx demanded @MaxwellFrostFL's comments remarks challenging GOP logic about student debt be removed, Foxx interrupted @JamaalBowmanNY and forced him to suspend his comments about racism.https://t.co/RpO8C1Nyay
GOP rep. Bob Good posed stripping federal $$ from public schools that shelter undocumented people.
This prompted Bowman to detail how essential federal funding is for NYC (given the history of racist gov't redlining policies leaving schools underfunded).https://t.co/RpO8C1Nyay
…And here's how Rep. Foxx similarly interrupted Rep. Frost two weeks ago, as he took on GOP logic about student debt relief.
*Foxx is the top House recipient of cash from the for-profit education industry (>$665,000) and student loan companies ($86,000):https://t.co/I78TjveSOY
Rep. Virginia Foxx and other members of Congress get paid $174,000 per year to work an average of 4 days per week, and qualify for a pension after working just 5 years. https://t.co/9O9Q3PBQhM
Foxx called for Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) to be removed after the controversial lawmaker stated that many Republicans have harbored racism and dehumanizing rhetoric towards human beings.
Foxx angrily banged the gavel nine times to stop Bowman from talking.
Old farts.
Worker exhaustion is becoming a real issue. Folks are getting burned out from working and it is leading to a revolt. Foxx, upon her mighty seat as a U.S. Representative said the following:
“There’s just a lot of people in this country that don’t want to work, period … and want other people to take care of them. That’s not what this country is all about. We have great opportunities in this country for people to be successful, if they want to work hard.”
Even though the hearing was about employees who work long hours, the GOP chair of the House Committee on Education & the Workforce took a moment to argue that too many Americans don’t want to work at all.
The lawmaker’s statement came in response to testimony from Democratic witness Judy Conti, the director of government affairs for the National Employment Law Project, who’d said that many workers won’t put up with forced overtime these days.
“We see that workers are increasingly willing to — especially younger workers — are willing to leave jobs where they have to do mandatory overtime, especially where it’s uncompensated,” Conti had said.
Republicans have long fought against worker rights. Managers who are salaried won't get extra pay despite working longer than 40 hours. When there's a worker shortage or a day off for workers, management must cover the Black. Many workers can't take a vacation or enjoy a weekend due to constant demands from employers. Also, corporations are pulling in more money while raising costs.
Capitalism is losing support. Israel is long support. House Republicans are losing support. Donald J. Trump is losing support. Joe Biden is losing support. The junk food media is losing support. And of course, they double down on the stupidity.
Virginia Foxx will be hard to beat. She might as well die in office which I get the feeling she may experience in 2024. Hate ruins the soul.
