Lawmaker Says He Understands “Rural People” Because He Watches “Dukes of Hazzard”

About this episode

Virginia State Senator Lamont Bagby claims to understand rural life through watching The Dukes of Hazzard.

Virginia State Senator Lamont Bagby has figured out all of you country folks. Senator Bagby says he’s understands all of those country boys and girls getting down on the farm because he watches The Dukes of Hazzard. For Senator Bagby to suggest that he knows about country living because he’s watched The Dukes of Hazzard makes about as much sense as me saying I know about urban living because I watched Sanford and Son.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
