Democrat Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger just got served a massive dose of reality after trying to steal credit for thousands of jobs that were actually secured by her Republican predecessor. The rookie governor thought she could pull a fast one on Virginia voters by claiming her administration brought 3,250 new jobs and $7.1 billion in investment to the state. Wrong move, Governor.
According to The Western Journal, reporter Nick Minock from WJLA quickly fact-checked Spanberger’s bogus claims and exposed the truth that left Democrats scrambling. Every single company Spanberger mentioned in her victory lap announcement had actually committed to investing in Virginia under former Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin’s leadership. Talk about getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
The embarrassment gets even worse for Spanberger. While her phony celebration post barely scraped together 400 likes, Minock’s fact-check exposing her deception exploded to over 5,700 likes in just two days. Virginia voters clearly aren’t buying what this Democrat is selling. Screenshots don’t lie, and they show Hitachi Energy, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, and Avio USA all made their investment announcements with Youngkin’s name plastered all over the press releases.
This isn’t just political spin gone wrong. It’s a perfect example of how Democrats operate when they think nobody’s watching. Spanberger signed some meaningless paperwork authorizing incentives for deals that were already done and decided to take a victory lap like she closed the deals herself. Meanwhile, her approval ratings are tanking below every Virginia governor who came before her, including a Democrat who got caught up in a blackface scandal.
Virginia deserves leaders who deliver real results, not politicians who steal credit for someone else’s hard work. Spanberger’s shameless attempt to rewrite history shows exactly why voters are losing faith in her administration. When the facts come out, the truth always wins.
