While Kiggans has stated she did not condone the language and was only agreeing that Jeffries should stay out of Virginia, Democrats argue her response was inappropriate and indicative of a desire to return to discriminatory practices. The controversy arises as Kiggans faces a competitive reelection campaign in her district. AI
