Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger claimed she helped bring thousands of jobs to her state — even though the companies she listed all invested in Virginia when her Republican predecessor was still in office.
The governor took a victory lap Monday for a package of four bipartisan bills she signed that day, with both an X post from her government account and a news release from her office claiming the legislation brought about 3,250 new jobs and $7.1 billion in investment to her state.
Reporter Nick Minock of Washington-based ABC affiliate WJLA, however, noted in a Wednesday morning X post that the four companies specifically mentioned in the release all announced they would be investing in Virginia during former Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s tenure.
“Attracting new companies and jobs to communities across our Commonwealth is a core focus of my administration,” Spanberger wrote in her Monday afternoon X post.
The news release named aerospace company Avio USA, electrification technology company Hitachi Energy, as well as pharmaceutical giants Eli Lilly and Company and AstraZeneca as the four companies investing large sums in Virginia. The release appeared to attribute each of the four investments to a different bill introduced by two Democratic state legislators and signed by Spanberger on Monday.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Minock’s X post pointing out the discrepancy had received over 5,700 likes compared to the governor’s post from two days earlier, which had received just shy of 400.
Spanberger’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
In a subsequent X post, Minock provided screenshots of news releases and news coverage showing that each of the respective investments in the four companies were made under Youngkin’s administration.

No conscience or moral grounding=no humiliation. Lacking in both is spamburger.
These people don’t have the emotional integrity to be able to be humiliated.
Dims lie and take credit for things they didn’t do, shocked I am😎
humiliated? LOL I doubt it ... they are never responsible for their idiotic ways ...
She is moderate disaster only until her policies are implemented. Then she becomes a california disaster. Crazy that we now get to use a once beautiful State as adjective.
Abigail Spanberger. What a name.
Should be “Abig Hamburger.”
We call her “Spermburger”
her constant lies gave her that giant Pinocchio schnozz!!! always extended - this is why.
Spanberger and Mamdani should get together and share their great ideas ,LOL
Anything is ethical if it advances the March of the left. (Marx)
humiliation is an emotion democrats or CIA rarely feel and never show
It’s not humiliating because the people of VA would elect her anyway. She’s a communist, but she wears the blue jersey, that’s all they need.
Love “Spamburger”
Abigail Spanberger claimed - D eceiver
“berger” huh...
No humiliation.
People like her just pick up the paper while eating breakfast, read it, say "Huh. Where is my coffee?" and then move on as if it never happened. No thoughts. No explanations. No regrets. No fear.
They just slither seamlessly on to the next thing.
With every passing news cycle, the echo of "humiliating news" gets weaker and weaker until it disappears entirely.
They understand that dynamic completely.
They could hold a zoom call with Seattle mayor, she is tanking that city too.
Perfect!
Humiliated? She’s still in power and will remain there. That’s all the rats care about.
