Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger rolled into Manassas on Wednesday for a feel-good stop on paid leave (which is costing Virginians even more), just days after a 16-year-old girl was killed in the crossfire of a downtown shootout at a packed First Friday event.
Nick Minock was waiting with the obvious questions: Did the justice system fail that teenager? Why were people with criminal records out on the street?
Staff promised a few minutes.
Then the governor kept walking.
No, wait. She didn't walk. She ran.

We know we've said this before but MAN, she is just awful.

Even the local paper wrote about it.
Not good, Abi.
Of course she did. Her record as Governor is indefensible. 🤦♂️

She's the most unpopular Virginia governor in modern history.
Keep asking Nick! pic.twitter.com/7WdpETXIwy

Sadly, she'll just keep running.
2 suspects were out "on bond" - came back armed an ended up killing an innocent girl... Spanberger and her lefty cohorts could have prevented this.https://t.co/ty9vvqHCsP

2 more suspects arrested for shootout that killed 16-year-old girl in Manassas
Virginia Democrats certainly love their felons. Wonder if these two were any of the felons she gave voting privileges back to.
Nothing is a coincidence.

Dead babies. Dead teens. Dead adults.
All at the hands of criminals and illegals protected by two chummy gals.
It’s all planned. pic.twitter.com/yt6yZ4XMCm
They are besties.
Shocking She got what she wanted she didn’t even respond to questions in the debate. Well thank you for trying. Keep it up

Gov Smirks doesn’t care what happens to anyone below the upper middle class. This is true of most politicians. She’s just openly more Hunger Games about it.

Running away is one of the few things Spanberger is good at.

Sad but very, very true.
