Virginia Dem State Senator Says He Knows All About Rural America Because He Watched Dukes of Hazzard

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.

--snip--

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.

Bagby said that he knows about rural America because he grew up watching "The Waltons" and "Dukes of Hazzard".

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

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.

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.

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.
