| Today, Virginia Congresswoman Jen Kiggans endorsed racist remarks made by an interview host who called on House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries to get his “cotton-picking hands” out of Virginia. Kiggans responded: “That’s right. Ditto. Yes, yes to that.”
Now, Kiggans has chosen to double down on her comments by refusing to apologize and forcefully condemn the racist remarks. Black voters make up roughly 1 out of every 4 voters in Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.
DCCC Spokesperson Eli Cousin:
“Jen Kiggans must immediately apologize for agreeing with openly racist and vile remarks. By refusing to unequivocally apologize for her comments, Kiggans is demonstrating that she is unfit to represent Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District.” |
