Abigail Spanberger’s Brief and Genial Response to SOTU

Even if you persevered through the longest State of the Union address in history, you may have missed Governor Spanberger’s reply.  She asked us to reflect on three questions:

Is the President working to make life more affordable for you and your family? Most Americans have been hit by high costs, partly because of the President’s tariffs (which have increased costs by $1700 for the average family) and additional health care costs caused by the “Big, Beautiful Bill.” 

Is the President working to keep America safe both at home and abroad?  Governor Spanberger served for years as a law-enforcement and then an undercover agent for the CIA. The violence of ICE agents doesn’t make us feel safer. The President’s cozy relationship with dictators and last year’s rapid-fire decimation of the U.S. international aid program “have endangered our nation’s long and storied history as a force for good,” Spanberger said in her response.

Is the President working for you?  He is clearly enriching himself, his family, and friends. 

Spanberger’s speech is 17 smiling minutes. I recommend it:
