Order Robert Spencer’s new book, Holy Hell: Islam’s Abuse of Women and the Infidels Who Enable It: HERE.
On Tuesday evening, President Donald Trump will deliver his State of the Union address. The Democrats have tabbed Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger to give their response from the dark side, and the choice is highly significant. Spanberger has been Virginia’s governor for just over a month, and in that time she has hit the ground running with a raft of far-left, authoritarian policies that will make the people of Virginia more unsafe, poorer, and less able to do anything about it by voting her and her henchmen out of office. The national Democrat Party, in giving her this platform, has endorsed what Spanberger has done, and in so doing, given us a clear indication yet again of what it really stands for.
The party comrades do all they can to obscure that reality. Spanberger will be engaging in that deception when she delivers her speech, as she plans to give it from Colonial Williamsburg, a place that symbolizes essentially the opposite of what today’s Democrat Party is all about, and that’s likely why it was chosen: to throw people off the scent.
Spanberger’s explanation for her speech’s locale is a masterpiece of deflection and deception: “Since the people of the Virginia Colony first gathered to take on the extraordinary task of governing themselves,” she said, “Williamsburg has served as a testament to the power of ordinary citizens to shape the future of our nation, demand better from our government, and pursue a more perfect union for all. On Tuesday, I look forward to joining Virginians in this historic place to lay out the next chapter of our story — a clear vision for a stronger, safer, and more affordable future for every American who calls our nation home.”
The grim reality for Virginians is that Spanberger has already made it clear that she is not in the least interested in making them safer or their lives more affordable. On the contrary: Virginia’s WJLA reported on Jan. 30 that “despite campaigning on making life more affordable for Virginians, Democratic lawmakers in Richmond introduced more than 50 new taxes and tax increases this month during the General Assembly session. Taxes on concerts, counseling, electric leaf blowers, Amazon deliveries, Door Dash, Uber Eats, and guns and ammunition are among a flood of proposals the Democratic majority in the Virginia General Assembly introduced.”
Safer? No, not that either. The New York Post reported on Jan. 24 that “within days of Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger being sworn in, members of her party introduced a flurry of amendments looking to end mandatory minimum sentences for various crimes within the state. According to Jason Miyares, the former Republican attorney general, House Bill 863 includes proposals to effectively eliminate minimum sentencing for manslaughter, rape, possession and distribution of child pornography, assaulting a law enforcement officer and other repeat violent felonies. Additionally, Democrats are also looking to remove the mandatory five-day minimum sentence for certain first-time DUI offenders.” What could possibly go wrong?
In addition to all that, of course, as The Hill reported on Feb. 5, “state agencies in Virginia will no longer enter cooperation agreements with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to an executive order from Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D).”
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said it: “A Communist system can be recognized by the fact that it spares the criminals and criminalizes the political opponent.” On this, the Democrats’ record of trying to frame President Trump for a multitude of crimes speaks for itself, and in Virginia, the situation is even worse. Jay Jones, the new attorney general of Virginia, was revealed during his campaign to have written that he wished a House Republican colleague would get “two bullets to the head,” and that the same colleague’s wife would watch their child die in her arms, for “only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”
Instead of condemning Jones and dropping him as a candidate, Virginia Democrats lined up to reaffirm their support for him, and he won a comfortable victory over his Republican rival. Abigail Spanberger, who ran successfully for the Virginia gubernatorial office at the same time, remained stubbornly mum as her Republican challenger, Winsome Earle-Sears, repeatedly asked her to repudiate Jones.
And now Spanberger has been chosen to deliver the Democrats’ response to Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night. The Democrats have thus made it clear: they’re Communists, sparing the criminals, criminalizing (or worse) their opposition, and rewarding those who, such as Spanberger, make their sinister policies a reality. She could conceivably be their vice presidential or even presidential candidate in 2028. Dark days are ahead indeed.
