That’s not a dog whistle that’s a horn

so it's ok to use "cotton-picking hands" about a black congressman, but it's not ok to spell out 8647 with sea shells. It's always been about race and power.

The racist moron speaking is Rich Herrera. He works for News Radio WRVA in Richmond. If anyone would like to call in, the number is 833-804-1140. The dumb c*nt is, of course, Jen Kiggans.

What an ignorant hosebag. It speaks volumes about the hate that lives inside the person who said that, and also about the people who raised them. Shameless evil. I don’t know how someone could write such a thing, it made me wince and feel horrible inside when I read that.

Racism is alive and well in the Republican Party. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/05/i-re...

This racist language continues to go mainstream as the Trump Regime and 6 SCOTUS justices have given it their full and complete approval.

Disgusting is what they are.

My racist grandma used to use that term all the time and I finally picked up on it when I was around 12 years old dancing on the sidewalk and she screamed at me to shut off that "cotton picking music" and stop my "n-word boppin". That was the day the dam broke and I saw her for who she was.

Their solution seems to be just gerrymander out Black votes. And SCOTUS green-lit that. So they don't even have to try appealing to all voters.

Velvet Vixen ♡8

That comment is incredibly offensive. How can anyone think that's okay to say? 🤦‍♀️

DedicatedToDemocracy7

OMG. They don't even try to hide their racism. Disgusting.

The Rednecks in Virginia are insufferable. Fortunately, most voters there have evolved - which is why there's an issue with Districts. Jefferson Davis wannabes visit his gravesite regularly. We have much work to do as a nation. Let's beat the #GOP at the polls in #VA in spite of this setback.

I'm glad they're getting comfortable letting everyone know what kind of people they really are.

BlueDotBubba@LesDepew.bsky.social5

When racism is the common thread that holds them together, the only plan is subjugate them or get rid of them, right clucker?

Milo Smith5

Can we finally call them white supremacists and white nationalists, already.

Bonnie Schwertner5

That’s reaching really deep into the box of crackers.

Bernadette DeMesme-Anders5

Some of us have always known what we were dealing with. It’s just loud enough for all to hear again.

Sharing on all sites related to Virginia.

It will be hilarious when our own “cotton pickin’ hands” vote all their racist a$$es out.

Diane4

Racism is a choice. Kiggans was a US Navy helicopter pilot for 10 years. I wonder how she treated her Black shipmates.

mindyx3.bsky.social4

Disrespect from republicans is par for the course. Hakeem Jefferies is the minority leader of the House Democrats. He certainly can speak out about Virginia’s Supreme Court decision.

I’m not really a cat3

Wish I could say what I really feel about these Nazi assholes

Dee-Dee3

He knew exactly what he was saying! 🤬🤬

Janet3

Wow! Just wow. In the open with it all now.

Liberty and Justice For All3

Such unbelievable racist fucking crap. I can't even imagine how Black people feel... my heart breaks every fucking day these days

Seems the KKK is making a return of its racist beliefs.

Aquadiver3

And just like that I realized I heard people say that as a child. I had forgotten all about it and as a kid never realized what it meant. Going to sit here with my horror.

This post just taught me what that phrase really means & I feel so ignorant for not making that connection before. I’ve heard people say it but no POC were ever involved. Thank you for helping me learn that. 🙏🏻

He just said the "N" word for the leader of the congressional Democrats.

MAGA Racism on full display!

I wonder how the Candace Owen’s Blexit folks are feeling these days?

They don't even bother hiding the racism anymore

If they can cancel Stephen Colbert for jokes? Then this asshole can use a to be fired and put into the unemployment line!!!?

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social this bitch is a Nazi . Open an investigation

Wow fuck that bitch! She’s a Nazi

EmmyEm 🇺🇸+🇬🇧💙2

Vile racists. Just the worst people.

dcspointilleux.bsky.social2

She just handed one - or all - of the Democrats running for her seat a very useful ad.

Jerry Edwards11

They're really just going for it. Bringing back the Jim Crow rhetoric with the Jim Crow maps.

Nathan Kalmoe (he/him)11

“A racial remark” is an example of how center left media fail the assignment.

Steve T PhD6

I don't think it will matter to the justices, but it is bracing to watch people follow up the "gerrymandering is okay if partisan" decision with a deluge of crude and vile racism (instead of partisanism).

hemantoysinmyass3

If this bitch is this brave on a radio show. The casual abhorrent shit that comes out of this wet dog's mouth in the safety of her home and car. All these clowns were dealing with today is because we went soft af on these traders back in the CW.

Ha, you can't get Republicans to resign over pedophilia, I doubt you'd get one to resign if she used the N word

plus, saying ditto to a right-wing radio host is a second cultural dogwhistle in its own right!

We need to outlaw racism ‼️

The epitome of white trash. Too uneducated and uncivilized to discuss a topic without hurling insults. Truly trashy

"Cotton picking"? That's beyond the pale. 😠 What a vile thing to say.

VOTE her out VOTE 🔵 VOTE Democrat

Alex T2

Megyn Kelly is making her an award, as we speak.

LAMJ2

Supreme Court said there's no more racism.

beege2

Please please don't overlook that she is a RN/NP who gutted healthcare for her own constituents. Let's stop asking for apologies from people who are not sorry. Something she'll understand -- go for the jugular. Elaine Luria is hopefully on this big time. In a just world, she would lose her licenses.

cateatdog2

Still no coverage in the Virginian Pilot about Kiggans racist remarks. It's almost like private equity destroyed journalism.

Happy Puppy5

Yeah.. and the gop claims there is not a racial issue in the US

Donna3

This lady can f the f right off

soberjon2

YOU NEED ACCOUNTABILITY 1ST. DC DOESN'T HAVE THAT RIGHT NOW

Tyler Savage2

Sometimes you think stupid has a bottom, then people like Kiggans say, “hold my burning cross.”

Tinman3

What did you think Republicans meant when they talked about “black jobs” 🤷‍♂️

Ryan2

Believe the description of what she’s selling is “gutter racism”
