00:00Do you all know Thomasville, Georgia? Thomas County, just a few miles from the

00:06Florida line, small, rural. Thomasville's never gotten much love from Washington.

00:13There's short health care options, the infrastructure is old, so a couple years

00:17back we allocated federal funds to help them build a new health clinic and

00:21upgrade their sewers. The health clinics and sewers didn't used to be controversial.

00:29But then out of nowhere, the Trump administration canceled the grant for

00:34Thomasville. You all know why? First, because the project had the word justice in it.

00:42And justice is now a forbidden word in Washington. And second, because a tiny

00:50amount of the grant was for electric lawnmowers to maintain the new facilities

00:55and electric vehicles, which were supposed to be Georgia's economic future, are now

01:00considered woke. So no more health clinic, no more sewer upgrades for Thomasville.

01:07See, they're all trapped in this right-wing internet ideology.
