"Herrera said, adding: You can represent us. If not, get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia. That's right. Ditto. Yes. Yes to that, replied Kiggans, who represents a swing district that voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and narrowly for Donald Trump in 2024. Thank you very much, ma'am. I appreciate you joining us here on the program and we will catch up with you again soon, Herrera said, ending the interview."
"Kiggans joined Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera, and as the lengthy interview wound down, Herrera thanked Kiggans and added, Representative Kiggans, I appreciate you joining us. You're going to be in for the fight of your life over this. Like you said, it's a revenge seat. You and Rob Whitman are going to get peppered and they're going to throw in so much dark money from out of state."
"Herrera said, adding: if Hakeem Jeffries wants to be involved in Virginia politics, then I suggest he does what a bunch of New Yorkers are doing. Leave New York, move down here to Virginia, run for office down here. Herrera said, adding: You can represent us. If not, get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia."
"The interview was quickly clipped and went viral online. American Bridge 21st Century, a pro-Democratic Party Super Pac, posted the clip and wrote, WOW. Jen Kiggans agrees with the host after he says Hakeem Jeffries has cotton-picking' hands. "Get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia." "Yes to that." WOW. Jen Kiggans agrees with the host after he says Hakeem Jeffries has "cotton-picking" hands. #VA02"
Rep. Jen Kiggans joined a Richmond radio interview with Rich Herrera. Herrera warned that Kiggans and Rob Whitman would face heavy outside spending and intense opposition in a “revenge seat” race. Herrera then told Jeffries to stay out of Virginia politics, saying, “Leave New York, move down here to Virginia, run for office down here,” and added, “If not, get your cotton-picking hands off of Virginia.” Kiggans replied, “Ditto. Yes to that,” and thanked Herrera. The interview clip was quickly cut and circulated online by American Bridge 21st Century, a pro-Democratic Super PAC, drawing attention to the exchange.
