The Shadow
FINCASTLE, VA – Rep. Ben Cline (VA-06) today issued the following statement regarding President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address and Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s response on behalf of the Democrats in Congress:
“President Trump’s first year in office was a tremendous success, and he laid out the many reasons in his speech tonight. America is back. The economy is in high gear, inflation is down, wages are up, and mortgage rates are below 6% for the first time in four years. Our southern border is secure, the flow of illegal immigrants has been stopped, and crime is down all over, setting 100-year lows in some places. By any objective measure, the first year of his second term has been fantastic.
“Abigail Spanberger, sadly, was involved in the night’s festivities for different reasons. She came to root against the United States, because good things happening to Americans is bad news for Democrats. They are unable to admit that something is good, for the sole reason that it was Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who did it.
“Spanberger was chosen for this plum speaking assignment because she’s a model for how two-faced Democrats need their candidates to be. If she told the truth on the campaign trail, she would never have been elected, so she concealed her true leftist agenda, as well as her plans to gerrymander Virginia’s Congressional map, until after she had taken office. Now she’s attempting to steal four Republican Congressional seats, and this little speech was her reward.”
