Because nothing says ‘I get country folks’ quite like a big-city pol citing a show about moonshiners and car chases to justify redrawing district lines that would dilute conservative voices in the Old Dominion.
You just can’t make this level of tone-deaf arrogance up. Actually, considering what Democrats just did to half the state of Virginia, we don’t have to make this up.
It actually happened. Watch:

Can you imagine if a Republican said they knew all about urban living because watch Good Times? Or The Jeffersons? Buildings would be on fire and the state senator would have been forced to resign already.

Well, I watched every episode of ‘Good Times’ – does that make me an expert on black families?
