It’s interesting she brings up the looming deficit crisis Republicans love to bring up whenever someone they disagree with talks about government funding helping actual citizens. I’m curious where she stands on the $1.5 trillion budget the Pentagon is asking for.

Also, love seeing “deficit hawks” putting things like climate change in quotes. Subtle.

Damn.

A sitting Congresswoman, the Chair of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, used a formal response to a child to smear the very professionals she is tasked with supporting. Foxx often leans on her history as a former teacher to bolster her credentials. But no educator worth their salt would ever use a child as a proxy to attack their colleagues. It is the height of unprofessionalism to tell a 10-year-old that the person they look up to every morning in the classroom is failing them.

The irony here is thick. Foxx accuses teachers of “indoctrination” while using an official, taxpayer-funded response to push a hyper-partisan narrative to a minor, complete with a list of links to articles she expects him to read.

The teacher must have known that asking a Rep for a tax rebate on electric vehicles would not meet approval (but probably thought a former teacher would reply more professionally). So from that standpoint alone “indoctrination” is BS. Whatever the kid learned for the future, that was very much up to Foxx’ response; I have a feeling she lost one future and several current voters with it.

I’d seen headlines about this, but damn, U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx of North Carolina really showed her own buttocks. She ain’t some nice lady.
