Spoken by a woman that just got elected to Virginia's government. She was photographed flipping off a Trump motorcade while bicycling. I agree she was well within her RIGHTS. Free speech isn't a privilege. Somehow this woman managed to get elected. A woman who has no knowledge at all of what the bill of rights is. That bothers me. A lot.

And, the constitution doesn't grant any rights. Rights don't come from governments. The constitution lists a bunch of rights the government can't take away because they naturally belong to everyone.

What just happened in Va is a disaster for those of us who live here and believe in the Constitution. However, I don't know how you conclude this woman doesn't have any knowledge of the BoR. Her right to free speech is guaranteed by the Constitution, of which the BoR is a part. Her action was disrespectful, but she has the right to express herself in that manner.

VA conservatives didn't take the time to get out and vote so now they are a democrat controlled state. Prepare for babies that survive abortion being left to die on the table, high taxes, and extra burden placed on those who work to support those who live off of .gov. Good luck.

Looks to me like she needs a little more bike time.

When I moved here 4 years ago the Republicans held a strong majority in the house of delegates, but that all changed in 2016. Now the Republicans have lost the majority in both houses and we have a Dem (idiot) governor. I'm sure wishing I had found a home in NE Tenn. I love the area but hate where the state is going.

Redistricting lines in Va. pretty much ensure you won't ever have another republican controlled government in that state, good luck.

NFL referees adhere more strictly to the rules of a football game than our elected officials do our constitution. Keep it between the lines.

Problem I see with the right to free speech which I too believe we all have.. People who complain about being punished. They think there should never be repercussions for what they said..or where they say it.

More gun restrictions are coming to Virginia.

It goes to show the type of people we are electing to represents us. Not all but the majority that voted, if you did not vote suck it up! JMO

I agree Mac but flipping off the president is definitely a right. No one is harmed. Pretty effective communication also. I am confident no one in that motorcade thought she was happy with Trump's policies.

I am worried about an elected state lawmaker saying what she did was a privilege. Privileges can be taken away.

She's my new hero.

And that is the demon rat end game nationally. Flood the zone with immigrants in red states like TX and GA flip the electoral in just one or two of those and it's game over.

Republicans and democrats alike gerrymander, and it's nasty stuff coming from either side of the isle.

I'd like to see gerrymandering in all states. In MN, if we had it Trump would have won most of the electoral votes. It's the left- leaningTwin Cities that determine who wins the way it is now.

Even though I voted for the guy, I be tempted to the same.
I would not do it out of respect for the office more than the one holding it right now. And I don't think any American politician should show such a lack of respect for the office, being withing her rights or not.

Interesting perspective......win elections by drawing funny-shaped district boundaries instead of winning by convincing people that you're the better candidate?

You have to know how to play the game, there is more than one way to skin a cat!

Another problem in Va. was the R's are milk toast R's at best, they get elected then run things like they're a D whizzing off their base to
the point the base doesn't show up and they lose the election to a D!

Not all R's are the same, be nice if the idiot's would figure out what is going on and watch our President!

Majority is tired of being over taxed, talked down to and having their vote taken for granted!
