Morgan “Wood Booger” Griffith: Will He Bring Home the Bacon or Leave SWVA Hanging?
Well, folks, it looks like Morgan “Wood Booger” Griffith has another golden opportunity to step up for Southwest Virginia and bring home the bacon—just like Rick Boucher used to do so effortlessly. Earlier this week, Congress unveiled a $100 billion government funding bill packed with disaster relief and recovery money for communities hit hard by Hurricane Helene, including our own here in SWVA.
This bill is a lifeline for disaster victims, offering funding to replenish the Small Business Administration’s recovery loan program, beef up FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, repair national forests, and restore critical habitats. It’s exactly the kind of support our communities need to dig out of the mess Hurricane Helene left behind. But guess what? Morgan “Wood Booger” Griffith is not supporting it.
That’s right—while Appalachian families and small businesses are still struggling to recover, Wood Booger is sitting up on Capitol Hill, sharpening his scissors to vote against the last chance for months to get federal recovery funding. Because why bring help to Southwest Virginia when you can just keep saying “no” and calling it a principle?
This bill doesn’t just offer relief—it invests in our future. It supports the USDA, U.S. Forest Service, and National Park Service to repair our forests and protect local habitats. It shores up programs to help our communities weather the long recovery process. It’s the kind of commonsense legislation that folks like Rick Boucher used to champion for us. But Morgan Griffith? Well, he’s acting like a Wood Booger—staying hidden while Southwest Virginia is left holding the bag.
So here’s the question: Will Morgan Griffith step up, pull a Rick Boucher, and actually deliver for Southwest Virginia? Or will he leave us high and dry again? If you’re tired of waiting for the Wood Booger to show up, make your voice heard. Call, email, or holler from the holler—whatever it takes to urge him to support this end-of-year funding package.
The stakes are high, and Southwest Virginia deserves better than a disappearing act. It’s time for Morgan Griffith to bring home the bacon—or get out of the kitchen.
