Abigail Spanberger claims she opposes political violence – so why is she tolerating members of her own staff supporting it?
Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears asked this very question over the weekend as it was revealed that Jasmine Frye, whose Facebook profile says she works for Abigail Spanberger, posted “F around and find out” in response to the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Abigail Spanberger has refused to offer any comment or condemnation of this disgusting post. If she truly opposes political violence, she would fire this individual for promoting it.
Even more damningly, this is not the only case of one of Spanberger’s operatives celebrating Kirk’s murder. Chesterfield County School Board Member Dot Heffron, who has endorsed Spanberger for governor, justified Kirk’s assassination by saying it is “ok to shoot Nazis.”
More than 18 hours later, Spanberger had not said a word about Heffron’s comments or taken down her endorsement.
Virginia Democrats have revealed their true colors in the wake of Kirk’s murder. Just see these disgusting comments:
The overwhelming majority of Americans – left, right, and center – condemned Kirk’s murder and all political violence. But that common decency is apparently too much for these Virginia Democrats.
Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi, and Jay Jones have a responsibility to not just condemn violence, but to condemn those in their own party who call for violence. Until they do so, their words are empty.
