Virginia’s new Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger was chosen to deliver the Democrat rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s Stat of the Union address.
The White House blasted Spanberger in a statement, saying, “Spanberger, like the rest of the Radical Left lunatics in her party, is fully against President Trump’s agenda of lowering costs, bringing back manufacturing, and securing our borders — instead favoring a return to the Biden-era carnage she was “proud” to support.”
“Spanberger has a long history of supporting open borders, soft-on-crime policies, reckless spending, tax hikes, radical climate mandates, extreme gender ideology, and woke DEI initiatives — positions that endanger American families and underscore the catastrophe Democrats will once again unleash if given the chance,” the statement continues.
In her rebuttal Tuesday night, Spanberger wildly claimed Americans didn’t hear the truth from President Trump, and declared that Trump isn’t working for the American people.
Following Spanberger’s speech, the White House Rapid Response team fired back with the following blistering statement:
Abigail Spanberger can spare us the sanctimonious bullshit.
For Spanberger, criminal illegals > Americans.
FACT: Weeks after becoming Governor, she swiftly terminated Virginia’s agreement with ICE, halting state law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration enforcement — giving criminal illegal alien killers, rapists, and gangbangers a pass.
FACT: During her time in Congress, she repeatedly undermined border security by voting againstthe Secure the Border Act, supporting a pathway to citizenship for more than two million illegal aliens, co-sponsoring an amnesty bill for millions of illegals, and twice voting to terminate President Trump’s national emergency declaration at the southern border.
FACT: Spanberger refused to condemn an extreme D.C. crime bill that reduced penalties for violent criminals and put millions of citizens and visitors to the nation’s capital at risk.
FACT: Spanberger has consistently supported defunding the police efforts, accepting tens of thousands in campaign contributions from groups advocating defunding and marching with a group that claimed “law enforcement doesn’t protect or save our lives.”
