GOP Rep. Kiggans faces resignation calls over 'racist' remark

Representative Jen Kiggans is facing calls for her resignation from Democratic lawmakers after a radio interview where she appeared to agree with a host's racially charged remark about House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The host suggested Jeffries should keep his "cotton-picking hands off of Virginia." Kiggans has since stated she does not condone the language, but Democrats, including the Congressional Black Caucus PAC chair, maintain she should step down. AI
