Last Wednesday, as Congress faced looming deadlines to pass several major legislative priorities, including a government funding bill, before breaking for the holidays, Republican Congresswoman Virginia Foxx of North Carolina decided to divert attention to the respective difficulty of Santa Claus’ upcoming annual trek. “Hoisting heavy sacks of gifts up and down the chimney is no easy task,” Foxx declared, before suggesting that Santa Claus needs whole milk, as opposed to soy or oat or skim, in order “to travel the whole globe in one night.”
She continued: “We want only the most nutritional option for Santa. Whole milk is the unsung hero of his Christmas journey.”
