Congresswoman Jennifer McClellan, representing Virginia's 4th district, shared her views on recent political events through a series of tweets. Her comments addressed issues related to civil rights and reactions to a presidential address.
On March 6, 2025, Congresswoman McClellan expressed her stance on the ongoing struggle against Jim Crow laws and their lingering impacts. She stated that those who have fought against these injustices "won’t sit idly by as the President and Congress work to dismantle progress towards 'liberty and justice for all'." She also mentioned Representative Al Green's right to express his displeasure, noting her own decision: "I voted against his censure."
Later that day, McClellan commented on former President Trump's address. She expressed disappointment after hoping for a message prioritizing people over politics but instead hearing "divisive half-truths and outright lies." McClellan joined the BBC to discuss her reaction further: "I sat down for Trump’s address hoping to hear him put people over politics." The full interview is available online: "Watch my full interview here."
