Rep. Kiggans Faces Backlash Over Racist Remark

Republican Congresswoman Jen Kiggans from Virginias second district is under fire from Democrats for agreeing with a radio host who used a racially charged phrase towards House Democrat Hakeem Jeffries. The host suggested Jeffries stay out of Virginia politics, and Kiggans agreed, though she later clarified she didnt endorse the wording. Democrats are demanding her resignation, citing her districts large African American community and the ongoing fight over Virginias congressional maps. The interview clip was removed from the stations podcast archive, and Kiggans faces re-election against Democrat Elaine Luria in a race that could sway voters as redistricting battles heat up.
