What the liberal elite think of the people
May 13^th, 2017 at 12:08pm

A Democrat from California told a committee last week just how much she despised ‘middle America’ when she referred to it as “Podunk USA”…

The Washington Free Beacon reported:

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.

The moment occurred when Eshoo pushed back against Pai when he was discussing expanding broadband access to rural areas.

Pai said that eliminating Title II net neutrality rules would benefit places he has traveled to, such as Parsons, Kan., Elverson, Pa., and Cadillac, Mich.

Sources inside the meeting told the Free Beacon that Eshoo was frustrated with Pai’s comments. She wished out loud that Pai would stop talking about “Podunk, USA” and instead be more concerned about the venture capitalists on Sand Hill Road in her district near Palo Alto, according to the sources.

Many in the room reacted negatively to Eshoo’s remarks, sources said. A member who represents a flyover state did not appreciate the term “Podunk,” which means a small, unimportant town, and said districts in Middle America are just as important as those in Silicon Valley.

Eshoo’s office declined to comment.

Democrats hate middle America because it is made up of hard working, God loving, law abiding citizens!

Know the enemies of a civil society by their public behaviour, by their fraudulent claim to be liberal-progressive, by their propensity to lie and, above all, by their attachment to authoritarianism.

And yet they won the popular vote by a huge margin... How dumb are you?
