“There’s just a lot of people in this country that don’t want to work, period,” Rep. Virginia Foxx said during a hearing about people who work too much.

House Republicans held a hearing Wednesday throwing cold water on President Joe Biden’s plan to give more workers overtime protections.

Even though the hearing was about employees who work long hours, the GOP chair of the House Committee on Education & the Workforce took a moment to argue that too many Americans don’t want to work at all.

“There’s just a lot of people in this country that don’t want to work, period … and want other people to take care of them,” said Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.).

    Yeah, but see: she worked incredibly hard to

    • defeat hate crimes prevention legislation
    • prevent extending disaster aid to Kathrina victims
    • prevent the expansion of the Voting Rights Act
    • prevent the Armenian genocide from being declared a “genocide”

    and she firmly stood her ground in telling everyone that Obamacare was a danger to the nation bigger than any terrorist attack on America ever could be.

    That’s a lot of hard work, you see?
