You’d have thought she said there was no Santa Claus.
A veteran North Carolina Republican is catching fire from media outlets this week over a reply she sent to a 10-year-old boy who wanted her to support a rebate for electric vehicle purchases.
Telling the truth to children, apparently, is not what liberals want to see in their lawmakers.

Rep. Virginia Foxx is being blasted in news reports, innewspaper opinion columns, on liberal websites, and even in the normally conservativeNew York Postfor not only shooting down the EV rebate idea, but also suggesting he’s getting an indoctrination instead of an education from the adults who are paid to teach him.
The brouhaha began in April, according toWGHP-TVin High Point, when a fourth-grade class at a private school in Greensboro was assigned to write an essay to an influential individual advocating a policy of some kind.
Christian Mango decided to write his congresswoman about EV promotion.
“We should have a $5,000 tax rebate. For electric cars, because they’re better than normal cars. They’re better for the environment. They pay less. And there’s no gas,” the boy told WGHP.
(If that sounds like a childish explanation of the benefits of EVs, while ignoring theirmanifold problems, it’s not much worse than the average liberal’s. And remember, Christian is only 10.)
