Virginia’s Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger was widely panned by conservatives on social media over her rebuttal to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union, with many calling out the governor for labeling herself as a "moderate" during the campaign but changing her tune.
Spanberger’s speech contained several examples of supporting far-left causes that drew criticism online, including school walkouts over ICE, touting "affordability" despite pushing to raise taxes and slamming Trump.
Her overall speech quickly drew heat from conservatives online over her policies and her tone.
"This Spanberger speech can basically be summed up as ‘I AM A DEMOCRAT WHO IS MODERATE AND NORMAL. PLEASE BELIEVE I AM MODERATE AND NORMAL,’" Mark Hemingway, senior writer for Real Clear Investigations, posted on X.
"Abigail Spanberger comes off like the radical psychopath she is," Matthew Boyle, Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart News, posted on X. "Anyone who claims she is a ‘moderate’ is a liar. Plain and simple."
"Abigail Spanberger campaigned as a moderate but governs as a left-wing activist," GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn posted on X. "There is no room for moderates in today’s Democrat party."

It is like the left has rabies and do not realize they are sick.
Moderate my behind
Pretty standard playbook for the Left — Joseph Stalin is a kind hearted Moderate. Leon Trotsky is a Far-Right Extremist. Everyone to the right of comrade Stalin is a Far-Right Extremist. Stick with the Moderates. Stick with Stalin.
The Virginia governor is a CIA Trojan Horse, the same as what they engineered with Obozo.
During her recent campaign for Governor, Spanberger said she “had no plans” to implement redistricting in Virginia. Now, she is pushing a plan that will reduce the number of Republican held congressional seats from five to only one, leaving the Democrats with 10 out of 11 seats.
Listened to a couple minutes of the skank’s rebuttal, sounded just like any other libtard we hear every day. Nothing new here, click.
Plus....she is QUITE UGLY ON THE OUTSIDE TOO!!
“..widely panned by conservatives on social media..”
What, the RINOS/GOPe/uniparty types have nothing to say on social media?
Nah, they are trying to blame Trump for Spamburger being a retard.
Rising star?
Only Faux News and PMS NOW believe that.
‘I AM A DEMOCRAT WHO IS MODERATE AND NORMAL. PLEASE BELIEVE I AM MODERATE AND NORMAL,’
That is exactly what the Democrats wanted to say. ‘Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears. Believe us’
Abigail Rodham Spanberger is just the latest in a long line of “competent Democrat women” being pushed on the public by the government/media/IC complex. Fortunately, she isn’t any more likable than the rest of them.
from her Wikipedia entry— weird:
“ In the early 2000s, Spanberger taught English literature as a substitute teacher at the Islamic Saudi Academy in Northern Virginia”
She’s only moderately psychotic until she stop s taking her med’s.
Perino should know better. Democrats routinely run fake moderate candidates who once elected govern hard left. Biden was supposed to be a moderate. Recall the fake moderates elected in 2008 who then voted for Obamacare and got wiped out in 2010. Moderate Democrats are Lucy with the football.
Anything is ethical if it advances the revolution. (Marxism)
Winsome-Sears, not so wonderful.
The Beltway Bulge that's Fairfax County needs to be incorporated into Washington DC, for just the very reason that the swamp was never supposed to cultivate its own voting block and state.
Was she elected, or did they cheat? If she was elected, what is wrong with those people?
