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.

Hey, I resemble that remark.

[pa_dweller]

You list the source as “Washington Free Bacon”. Freudian slip?

[ForYourChildren]

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

[Red Badger]

He does that all the time..................

Apparently never been to Ceres, Turlock, Atwater, Livingston, Merced, ...

Hey, I don’t!

The liberal elites at the U of Michigan won’t like that description either, they call their school “The Harvard of the Midwest.”

[FrankR]

Yeah....but "Podunk" sure put Hillary out to pasture...didn't they?!? 😄

[Veto!]

Anna Eshoo is a total primate:

[Seruzawa]

Better Podunk than Pervtown.

Why not ‘Dogpatch?’

I live in one of the Red Counties of West Virginia ...

Little Miss KKKalifornia can grab a piece of Cholla and bugger herself with it.

The same Podunk that every town half her constituents come from that is 1000000x worse else they wouldn’t sneak in by the bagful, amirite?

[OLDCU]

Let me get this straight, we’re deplorable podunks?

“If I were just a private citizen — Joe Six-Pack” President Clinton 1998

Democrats always belittle the commoners. It's deplorable.

The liberal elites at the U of Michigan won’t like that description either, they call their school “The Harvard of the Midwest.”

Same with U of Chicago, where they made a shirt describing Harvard as "The University of Chicago of the Northeast".

[Dr. Sivana]

The lady Reprsentative from California probably gets annoyed when people yell “God Bless You!” when her name is called out.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

She was referring to Hope, Arkansas.

[BilLies]

Her name is pronounced just like as it is spelled.

[Two Kids' Dad]

She’s Assyrian and sure lives up to the first 3 letters of it.
