Former Virginia Republican congressman Denver Riggleman is going to bat for Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D) in her competitive reelection bid in Virginia’s 7th District, appearing in a new TV ad urging voters to back the congresswoman for her willingness to work across the aisle.
“This is not a typical political ad,” Riggleman says in the opening frame. “I’m a Republican congressman saying nice things about a Democrat.”
Indeed, it’s pretty unusual for a former Republican congressman to campaign for a sitting Democrat, a la Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) supporting Democrats in Arizona over the election-denying Republican candidates for governor and secretary of state. But Riggleman is pretty unusual in that he was part of the vocal minority of Republicans to break ties with the GOP over former president Donald Trump’s stolen-election lies, telling The Washington Post in interviews last year he no longer identified as a Republican. Riggleman had also railed against what he called GOP purity tests he said he didn’t fit into.

If I remember correctly, Spannberger is “former” CIA, and I think Riggleman may have been involved in the intel community. I know he was/is Mormon.
He’s butt hurt because we made him a one and done Congress critter. He was an NSA contractor and has a whiskey distillery.
Stolen election lies , bwahahahaha, if you think 2020 was fair , your certainly a player in someone else’s game. Hope you wake up soon.
“Denver Riggleman previously served in the U.S. Congress ... and as Senior Technical Adviser to the January 6 th Select Committee ... Denver was posted to the National Security Agency in 2003 ...”

Rigglemen turned out to be a POS.
Trump exposed the pretenders.
Politicians, for the most part, have no core values, they are actors, acting in the way they think will get them elected.
The outing of the Bushwood Republicans continue.
To state the obvious, party affiliation means nothing compared to loyalty to the Deep State. “Working across the aisle” means they both supported anything that increased the power of the military-industrial-intelligence complex over their constituents.
No surprise since Riggleman was heartily endorsed by arch scumbag and perv Jerry Falwell Jr.
Spanberger has an ad featuring a former US marshal who says 5 cops died because of Jan. 6. I no longer think the Marshal’s Service is better than the FBI.
Spanberger’s opponent, “ Yesli Vega, a military wife, mother, and law enforcement officer, is the embodiment of the American Dream. Born in Houston, Texas to Salvadoran immigrants fleeing civil war…”
The white, lib females in northern Virginia will vote for the white, lib Spanberger.
