WATCH: Judy Shepard: Rep. Foxx Didn’t Apologize for ‘Her Ignorance’

Rep. Virginia Foxx was J/K when she said that Matthew Shepard was not murdered for being gay. She was just relying on stories from the lying news media! That, um, didn’t sit so well with Matthew’s mom Judy, who was sitting in the House gallery when Foxx spoke, and has been campaigning for the past 10 years to pass federal hate crime legislation. Judy told Rachel Maddow last night: “It’s apologizing for semantics, not for her sentiment or actually what she said, her insensitivity or her ignorance.”
