Two days after Rep. Virgil Goode’s (R-VA) letter to constituents expressing his fear of “many more Muslims in the United States” came to light, he’s finally going to talk to the press.

He’s chosen the friendly environs of Fox News: at 4 P.M. today, he’ll appear on Neil Cavuto’s show to address the swelling controversy.

First reported in Charlottesville’s local C-Ville Weekly, the story is now everywhere: The New York Times, CNN, and the AP all had stories out today. Goode has repeatedly refused to apologize for the letter and has said nothing more than that he stands by what he wrote. So it’ll be interesting to see if he goes anywhere beyond that this afternoon. We’ll be watching.
