Barack Obama formally endorsed Abigail Spanberger last month in a video. It wasn’t exactly a shock, but the media sure made a big deal about it. Her campaign had certainly taken a hit because of the Jay Jones scandal, so the timing made perfect sense in that context. But, when Obama rolled into Virginia Saturday to campaign for Abigail Spanberger, you had to wonder what exactly he was doing there. Spanberger, the Democratic gubernatorial candidate, holds a comfortable lead over Republican Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears in multiple polls, leading by 7.6 points in the RealClearPolitics average.
o why would Obama bother showing up for what looks like a done deal?
The answer is obvious: He’s not there to help Spanberger. He’s there to help salvage what's left of the Democratic ticket, specifically the embattled Jay Jones, who's running for attorney general.
Jones was supposed to be a rising star in Virginia Democratic politics, but then came the scandal. Old text messages from 2022 surfaced showing Jones writing that then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, should get "two bullets to the head." There were also messages discussing killing Gilbert's children. Jones offered a lame apology for being caught, but the damage was done. What had been a slight lead for Jones over Republican incumbent Jason Miyares evaporated practically overnight. Miyares has a +3.5 lead in the RealClearPolitics average.
Do you really think Obama was there to help Spanberger or Jay Jones? At Saturday's event, Jones showed up and spoke even though he wasn't originally scheduled to appear. More than 7,000 people packed the venue, and there was Jones, right alongside the headliners, getting his moment in front of Obama's crowd.

The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
And will we never be rid of this grifter?!
If you put him on the schedule, protesters might show up.
Obama was there to pretend that he still matters. Democrats use him the same way that they would use Biden: name recognition, but no real impact.
Down Lo’ Duo!
Any Virginian who votes for Spanberger is giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
Indeed he never even qualified to be a has been only a token.
Obama just wanted to go to the sex stables in the VA horse country.
What is the Obama price tag??
Deport JugEars to Kenya.
“...will we never be rid of this grifter?!...”
Not till his big daddy in hell calls him home. Spit.
The evil SOB belongs in a cell at GITMO to face treason charges in front of a military tribunal.
And Spamburger, Hashmi, and 0bama ALL fully support that. (Sue me. Go ahead.)
Obama was in Va to save the bruised political hide of AG wannabe Jay Jones:
<><> text messages from 2022 were shocking
<><>Jones writing that then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert should get “two bullets to the head.”
<><>There were also disturbing messages discussing killing Speaker Gilbert’s children.
Spamburger and 0bama never uttered a discouraging word.
Dems apparently fully support wrongdoing,
If you can’t decide whether you’re voting for Sears or Spanberger, you ain’t black.
“If you can’t decide whether you’re voting for Sears or Spanberger, you ain’t black.”
