Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (sorry, PolitiBunny) gave her inaugural address on Saturday, and one of her biggest applause lines was when she pledged to stand by Virginia's "hard-working, law-abiding immigrant neighbors." We can get behind that, as long as what we consider to be "law-abiding immigrants" is the same thing Spanberger does. We doubt it, though. "We mean them too," she said when talking about citizens' neighbors.
No one is after Virginia or any other state's hard-working, law-abiding immigrant neighbors … it's the law-breaking, illegal aliens we're concerned with.
We all know what she meant.
The most passionate Spanberger got during her inaugural address was when she used a lot of liberal buzzwords to essentially say that she's going to fight the Trump admin to stop deportations. pic.twitter.com/wXZGT7MIhT

She. Sucks. So. Much.

They love the word neighbor because it circumvents the legality issue

Ahhh, the use of 'immigrant' so as to not distinguish illegal from legal. Oldest trick in the book.

So what she's saying is that once ICE is done in Minnesota they need to head straight to Virginia.

I hate every person who voted for her

That's understandable.
Liberal women are the absolute worst.

That's what they paid for. FAFO

So many Democratic governors want illegal alien criminals in their states.

They don't want any illegal immigrants detained and deported, regardless of their rap sheet. They're just reflexively anti-ICE.
She is going to be horrible

RIP to Virginia

Always disheartening to see one of these cosplaying narcissists when their fantasy is realized. Of course it will end as an epic failure with blatant corruption, but for now she is high on her self-importance. Yuck.

She’s going to turn Virginia into Minnesota.

Can she possibly be worse than Gov. Tim Walz? We'll find out soon enough.
