During a Virginia state Senate floor debate on gerrymandering, Democrat Lamont Bagby decided to flex his deep understanding of rural America ... by explaining that he picked it all up from watching the 1980s TV classic The Dukes of Hazzard.
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.

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.

I watched the Dukes of Hazard also.
I must be an expert on General Lee
Nothing about that picture surprises me ... Even Jefferson Davis “Boss” Hogg is aghast at the man’s arrogant, corrupt stupidity.
At least he didn’t say because he watched Deliverance. I think that’s what most east coast types picture
Stupid commie jerk. He should have watched Andy Griffin, Green Acres also, to get a real good feelin’ how we Southern folk know whuts happen down hier.
Lamont, get you a pair of Daisy Duke’s (aka Sadie Hawkins), some RC Cola, and some moon pies, and go cruising around rural Virginia for a few days.
That’ll make you as authentic as Hillary! carrying hot sauce in her purse, and “ain’t bein’ nowheres tarred”.
Idiot.
Bbbllllack [emphasis on the “lack” part] supremacy/privilege.
Hilarious photo! I literally laughed out loud.
Works for me. 🇺🇸
What an ignorant, brain dead thing to say in a serious manner. I would expect to hear that line spoken by somebody like Gov. Timmy (Knuckle-Head) Walz of Minnesota.
This idiot makes Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane look like Einstein
Did he watch “The Beverley Hillbillies”?
I’ve read 1984 so I know all about this kind of politician.
Lamont, ya big dummy!
See, I watched sitcoms, too.
That almost as racist as me saying I know all about the black community, I watched fat albert!
LMAO
Not even a good useful idiot.
I can’t tell you how many jumps over fences and cars and rivers I did with my old B John Deer tractor. Then I got the A Deer and it could nearly fly. My old 8N Ford not so much. WTF? /s
I remember seeing “Amos and Andy” on TV when I was a kid, so I know all about Negroes.
Wow, Lamont. You really could screw up a two-piece Lego set
