Virginia\u2019s<\/a> Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger was widely panned by conservatives on social media over her rebuttal to President Donald Trump\u2019s State of the Union, with many calling out the governor for labeling herself as a “moderate” during the campaign but changing her tune.<\/p>\n

Spanberger\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Her overall speech quickly drew heat from conservatives online over her policies and her tone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This Spanberger speech can basically be summed up as \u2018I AM A DEMOCRAT WHO IS MODERATE AND NORMAL. PLEASE BELIEVE I AM MODERATE AND NORMAL,\u2019”\u00a0Mark Hemingway, senior writer for Real Clear Investigations,\u00a0posted on X.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

WHO IS ABIGAIL SPANBERGER, AND WHY DID DEMOCRATS CHOOSE HER FOR THEIR STATE OF THE UNION RESPONSE?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Abigail Spanberger comes off like the radical psychopath she is,” Matthew Boyle, Washington Bureau Chief for Breitbart News,\u00a0posted on X<\/u>.<\/a> “Anyone who claims she is a \u2018moderate\u2019 is a liar. Plain and simple.”<\/p>\n

“Abigail Spanberger campaigned as a moderate but governs as a left-wing activist,” GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn\u00a0posted on X<\/u>.<\/a> “There is no room for moderates in today\u2019s Democrat party.”<\/p>\n

“It’s despicable to hear Abigail Spanberger speak so plainly like a supposed moderate when she’s governing with a legislature that’s more akin to Gavin Newsom in California or, say, Maura Healy in Massachusetts,” Newsbusters managing editor Curtis Houck\u00a0posted on X.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

TRUMP’S ‘HOME RUN’ SOTU SPEECH SPARKS PRAISE FROM CONSERVATIVES ONLINE WHILE LEAVING DEMOCRATS SEETHING<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Spanberger passed exactly one test,” Ruthless podcast co-host Josh Holmes\u00a0posted on X<\/u><\/a>. “A year from now you\u2019ll have absolutely no idea who gave the Democrat response.”<\/p>\n

“Abigail Spanberger tanks,”\u00a0Trump-Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell\u00a0posted on X<\/u><\/a>. “She\u2019s so nervous. It\u2019s like she didn\u2019t practice the actual speech.”<\/p>\n

“The focus of Abigail Spanberger’s rebuttal is \u2018affordability\u2019 as her party proposes sweeping tax hikes on nearly every sector of the Virginia economy,” Daily Caller senior editor Amber Duke\u00a0posted on X.<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Spanberger\u2019s office for comment.<\/p>\n

A top Republican\u00a0told Fox News Digital<\/u><\/a> earlier this week that Spanberger would never have been given airtime in the Democrats\u2019 official response to Trump\u2019s State of the Union if it weren\u2019t for her support of the commonwealth\u2019s controversial redistricting and adherence to the party line.<\/p>\n

“Our president has sent poorly trained federal agents into our cities, where they have arrested and detained American citizens and people who aspire to be Americans,” Spanberger said during her speech. “They have done it without a warrant. They have ripped nursing mothers away from their babies. They have sent children \u2014 a little boy in a blue bunny hat \u2014 to far-off detention centers, and they have killed American citizens in our streets.<\/p>\n

“And they have done it all with their faces masked from accountability,” she continued. “Every minute spent sowing fear is a minute not spent investigating murders, crimes against children or the criminals defrauding seniors of their life savings.”<\/p>\n

At one point in her speech, Spanberger appeared to briefly lose her place on the teleprompter:<\/p>\n

“But as the President spoke of his perceived successes tonight, he continues to cede economic power and technological strength to Russia … bow down to … China …to bow down to a Russian dictator, and make plans for war with Iran,” she said, as her prepared remarks cited China as the technological rival.<\/p>\n
