It centers on a viral exchange involving Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans of virginia and radio host Rich Herrera. The article claims that Herrera told Kiggans to stop telling people to keep troubles out of Virginia, including the phrase \u201ccottonpickin\u2019,\u201d which the piece says Democrats and their allies interpreted as racist \u201cdog whistles,\u201d sparking calls for Kiggans to apologize and resign.<\/p>\n<p>It then connects this dispute to Virginia\u2019s redistricting controversy: the article describes how Virginia voters initially narrowly approved a new congressional map, after which courts-including the state Supreme Court-struck the map down as unconstitutional. It further claims that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was involved in discussions about potentially replacing Supreme Court justices by changing mandatory retirement rules. The author portrays Kiggans\u2019 initial response as affirming the sentiment of staying out of Virginia while criticizing Democrats, but argues that she ultimately walked back her position by saying she did not condone herrera\u2019s language.<\/p>\n<p>it cites additional Democratic lawmakers who called for Kiggans\u2019 resignation and argues that the \u201ccottonpickin\u2019\u201d term is typically understood as an outdated slang meaning \u201cdamned\/confounded,\u201d not a reference to slavery-while concluding that Republicans should not amplify such accusations even when Democrats attempt to weaponize them.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Imagine if Democrats spent as much time trying to improve Americans\u2019 lives as they do ginning up <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-attempt-to-bully-house-republican-into-resigning-over-racism-against-hakeem-jeffries\/\" title=\"...
