Democratic gubernatorial candidate: Let your rage fuel you!
The Republicans have discovered a clip showing Abigail Spanberger telling her audience to let their rage fuel them. In the face of violence against conservatives, including Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the video was not welcomed news to the Democratic gubernatorial campaign. Winsome Earle-Sears, the incumbent Lt. Gov. for Virginia, and Republican candidate for governor, showcased the statement. Spanberger insisted that she was taken out of context. She explained that the advice “Let your rage fuel you,” was her mother’s response to Spanberger’s complaining about politics.
From Fox News:
Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears shared the clip shortly after a gunman opened fire on an ICE facility in Dallas — showing Democratic gubernatorial opponent former Rep. Abigail Spanberger offering an adage about “let[ing] your rage fuel you” during a June political event.
“Rage. That’s what Abigail Spanberger is calling for,” Earle-Sears wrote on X.
“We’ve seen it with racist signs, cruel jeers, even cheering a father’s assassination for daring to disagree,” she added, appearing to refer to Charlie Kirk.
Earlier this month, a protester at an Arlington event who was upset with Earle-Sears’ opposition to transgender bathroom policies in Washington, D.C., suburbs held up a sign that said if people cannot choose their own bathrooms, Earle-Sears, who is Black, cannot share their water fountains.
“I’m asking for love,” Earle-Sears said.
“Love for our neighbors and our Commonwealth. Because ‘Virginia is for lovers’ — not rage,” she added, name-checking the commonwealth’s iconic tourism slogan of 56 years.
Spanberger, however, suggested her words were taken out of context.
“Abigail has and will continue to condemn comments that attempt to make light of or justify violence of any kind — full stop,” a Spanberger spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Cmon now. Blaming your MOTHER for the comment? That’s pretty low indeed.
Isn’t it true that these demonrats would sell their own parents if it means gaining power?
Well, it’s seems so here.
Rage… :
You are making me angry, you will like me even less when I am angry.
2 faces of AWFL (AWLF?) right there. Either way, it seems to me conservative women are generally better looking.
Fair to say I’ve never seen a conservative woman looking like the first one and the bottom one only once, when she surprise found out her hubby had gone to a gentleman’s club for a bachelor party.
Honestly honey, I don’t know how those strippers got in here.
I concur.
Has anyone ever identified this individual? Just looking at the photo, Hack Stone would wager a 1980’s vintage Jaguar trunkload of Red Hat Software that she probably earned a degree in Women’s Studies and owes well north of $120K in school loans.

These assholes are always “taken out of context” whenever their asinine comments are publicized.
“My mom made me do it” is a new one.
Maybe that will become a classic excuse, like “Honest teacher, my dog ate my homework.”
