Derogatory comment made during discussion of rural broadband access!

A Democratic lawmaker from California referred to Middle America as "Podunk, USA," during a committee meeting last week, several sources inside the meeting told the Washington Free Beacon.

Remarks by Rep. Anna Eshoo (D., Calif.) during a closed-door Energy and Commerce Committee meeting with Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai raised eyebrows from those present.

The lady Reprsentative from California”

Lady?? what you smokin? she/he/it/trans... might genetically be a female, but I can assure you it is NOT a Lady. What it let slip out was nothing more than what the Demonrat Party, the News Media, and almost the Entire Entertainment Industry as a whole thinks of the average American.

It's Congress-speak; even Rosa DeLauro can be called the Gentle Lady from Connecticut. It is diplomatic fiction, like calling ANY of them "honorable". For the record, I don't smoke, and I never even tried marijuana or anything like that.

She is talking about all of these people that live in the red areas. That's a lot of people that she is dissing.

And half of her own state, California.

To the people who live in Podunk, it is not necessarily a derogatory term. Keith Anderson even wrote a nice song about the place.

In this context it does show ignorance about who lives in “Podunk” or “the boonies”, but in a way it’s good that these elites misunderestimate us.

You mean Challah?

If ISIS threw her off a tall building, or cut off her head, or burned her alive, or stoned her to death, or drowned her in a cage, somehow, I would be OK with that.

Funny how ISIS isn’t so horrible when you imagine their victims are stupid democrat subhumans.

Very curious indeed.

Unfortunately I don’t consider anyone in congress to be either a gentleman or a lady, I refer to them as congress person and try not to hurl obscenities at the same time. As far as I am concerned we could fix CONgress overnight with 20 feet of Rope.

I give her credit for being honest, all of them think that, but say otherwise. Some days I would welcome a complete collapse, so that these liberal idiots starve to death, since they have no marketable skills.

A Democratic lawmaker from California referred to Middle America as "Podunk, USA,"

Is ANYONE surprised that a Kalifornian would refer to flyover country as PODUNK?

There actually is a place named Podunk located in Central Massachusetts. Not much there now, but it used to be small town at one time.
