 Democrat Refers to Middle America as ‘Podunk, USA’
Posted By Elizabeth Harrington On May 11, 2017 @ 3:00 pm In Politics | No Comments

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.

I've had family in Podunk for 150 years.


And I mean that literally... Podunk, NY...the place that originated the expression.   

Great people in Podunk.  I'm not offended by the term.

I'd rather live in Podunk than The People's Republic of Californistan.

They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

This is they way they think of us, so it's not at all surprising.
