Rep. Virginia Foxx becomes 5th House member fined for failing to pass through metal detectors
Fox News
North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx on Tuesday became the latest Republican to be slapped with a $5,000 for evading the House metal detectors erected following the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.
The 77-year old Republican then "ran through the magnetometer" and "threw her bag underneath the table" next to the metal detectors and "loudly stated she was late for a vote and not slowing down." Two officers then raised their hands and said "Ma’am" in an attempt to stop Foxx. She reportedly ignored the officers and entered the House floor.More Related News
