People, Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton is fired up.

Norton — who, if you’ll recall, accused the nation’s legislature on Tuesday of “killing” D.C. residents by banning needle exchange funding and treating Washingtonians “like we were slaves” — made an appearance on WTTG/Fox 5 this morning to talk about the negative effects a possible government shutdown would have on the city. Norton wasn’t any more reserved on network television than she was on the floor of the House:

“We are absolutely outraged. This is the functional equivalent of bombing innocent civilians,” she said.

“It’s time that the District of Columbia told the Congress to go straight to hell,” Norton continued after she said a rider attached to a bill that could offer resolution prevented D.C. government from spending its own tax dollars on funds for abortions for low income women.

Something tells us the Delegate is probably ready to dump trash on the steps of the Capitol if that’s what she has to do.
