[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-10-29 October 30, 2023 Representative Virginia Foxx 2462 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Phone: 202 225 2071 – FAX: 202-225-2995 Representative Foxx; You were truly impressive last week when you stood before the nation and, in no uncertain terms, put ABC News Reporter Rachel Scott in her place by shouting at her to “shut up” when she tried to ask Mike Johnson about his involvement in attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. How dare Rachel Scott question the new Speaker of the House, the person whose job title says he’s responsible for promoting and passing legislation to strengthen our democracy and also makes him second in line for the presidency, about his involvement in the attempt to overturn an election to keep a Republican president in office for at least one more term? So what if Mike Johnson urged House Republicans to sign on to an amicus brief to overturn millions of Democratic votes in swing states, joined you and 145 other Republican House members in voting to nullify the collective will of 81,283,361 Americans who voted to dismiss Trump, phoned President Trump after the vote had been called for the Democrat, and encouraged him to continue the fight to overturn the election, and voted against a commission to investigate and then report the names and actions of members of Congress who participated in the attempt to keep Trump in power at all costs? I mean, really, who does Rachel Scott think she is? It sounds like she’s just one more member of the press who would agree with Thomas Jefferson, who once said, “Our liberty depends on the freedom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” With your history of yelling at reporters, Virginia, I’d be willing to bet you’d have glared at Jefferson and shouted, “SHUT UP!” Right? Regards to you and yours, Davy Z Jones Note to the staff member who pulls this message from the FAX machine: Please take a moment to go into Virginia’s office and put this letter on her desk, where she can’t miss it. After all, constituents who trusted Representative Foxx with their votes and pay her way every day know very well that she can’t do her job effectively without knowing what we really think ----- can she? Thank you.
