Virginia Foxx, a member of the U.S. Congress representing North Carolina’s 5th district, has recently expressed her views on various topics on her social media profile. Foxx, who replaced Richard Burr in Congress in 2005 and has served since, is known for her active participation in political discourse. Here are three of her latest statements posted on April 23 and 24, 2025.

On April 23, 2025, Virginia Foxx shared a terse comment, saying “Expulsion better be in their futures.” This statement potentially points to her views on a particular group or individuals’ conduct warranting expulsion, although the specific context remains unclear from her brief comment.

Later, on the same day, she expressed her opinion regarding another public figure. At 02:29:30 UTC, Foxx tweeted “Fact: Randi Weingarten is a shill for the status quo.” This statement reflects Foxx’s perspective on Randi Weingarten, suggesting her belief that Weingarten is a representative of conventional or traditional policies.

Foxx also shared a moment of empathy and condolence on April 24, 2025. She acknowledged the profound emotional impact of losing a child, stating “The loss of a child, no matter the age, is one of the greatest heartbreaks imaginable. Ranking Member @RepMcGovern and his entire family remain in my thoughts and prayers. In this difficult time of loss, may they find continued comfort, peace, and strength from their faith.” This message demonstrates Foxx’s support and compassion towards her colleagues, in this instance, directed at Representative Jim McGovern.

Virginia Foxx, originally from New York City and currently residing in Banner Elk, is an alumna of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, from which she graduated in 1968.
