Virginia Foxx

From RationalWiki

Virginia Foxx is a batshit looney Republican member of the American House of Representatives from North Carolina. She has recently decided that the House needed another crazy ranting woman to join Michele Bachmann, and has stepped up to the task. Her seat, however, is utterly safe, as it is one of the most conservative in the country.

There was a scandal involving her taking a small donation from a gay rights group during one of her early runs, but she has since said that she will never take gay money again.

Recently, she said that Matthew Shepard was killed in a robbery, not because he was gay. She did not say why he was tortured and crucified as well, however. She has also said that universal health care is more threatening than terrorists.

She has also claimed that the Republican Party passed the Civil Rights Act, with almost no help from the Democratic Party, despite the fact that Lyndon Johnson pushed it through Congress with the help of mostly Democrats and some northern Republicans. The Democrats who did oppose it later became Republicans.
