From Fox News: Texas Democrat Jolanda Jones rejected former first lady Michelle Obama’s famous mantra, “when they go low, we go high,” during a CNN interview Wednesday, vowing to fight hard against foes by going “across your neck.”
“If you hit me in my face, I’m not going to punch you back in your face. I’m going to go across your neck,” Jones said on “OutFront,” making a slashing motion across her neck.
“We can go back-and-forth, fighting each other’s faces. You’ve got to hit hard enough where they won’t come back,” she continued.
Jones, a state representative running to fill a U.S. House seat in Houston left vacant after the death this year of Rep. Sylvester Turner, had caught host Erin Burnett’s attention when she told Axios this week that when Republicans go low, “I’m going to the gutter.”
When Burnett brought up Michelle Obama’s former statement “when they go low, we go high,” Jones retorted, “I’ve never subscribed to that,” and touted that she came from the “hood.”

Turning Point USA spokesperson Andrew Kolvet fired back, “Could you imagine if Jolanda Jones’ words were a leaked YR group chat instead of a CNN interview? The media would lose their minds!”
