Have not seen an attack on Congresswoman Virginia Foxx before that's quite as hard as this one
This popped up on Facebook -- no indication of who produced it. It has the earmarks of an independent expenditure, but it might also be a purely homegrown expression of contempt for Virginia Foxx. Doubt it. The level of professional polish here suggests money. First time I've seen this. If it's showing up in other vtenues, with or without a "Paid for by" declaration, I'd like to hear about it. Anybody?
The attack does not even mention Democrat Chuck Hubbard, nor does it say anything about an election. The display is meant to lower Foxx's favorables, not explicitly boost Hubbard's.
Is the attack effective? It's all about her age, which is fair, and tying her to Trump policies, which notoriously can cut both ways in the 5th District. She's done what she can to make sure there's no air between her arms and Donald Jethro Trump, and this attack supports that. Many people in the 5th like her precisely for that. The strangest call-out: "She was 26 years old when Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon." A strange slap again at her advanced age, but baroquely obscure compared to the visual trainwreck of the photograph.
