MAGA lashes out at Trump’s newest rival

Numerous MAGA figures, including the official White House account, lashed out against new Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger Tuesday night, after she attacked Donald Trump for his economic failures and for sending "poorly trained federal agents into our cities" during her State of the Union rebuttal, per The Daily Beast.

It is tradition that the party in opposition to the president delivers a response, or "rebuttal," speech following each year's State of the Union, typically given by someone that party leaders see as a rising star. Spanberger was recently elected the first female governor of Virginia and has wasted little time making herself an enemy of Trump, notably by rescinding a prior order forcing local law enforcement to help federal immigration officers and backing a plan to gerrymander the state's congressional map in favor of Democrats.

“Is the president working to make life more affordable for you and your family?” Spanberger said in her address. “We all know the answer is no... Our president has sent poorly trained federal agents into our cities, where they have arrested and detained American citizens and people who aspire to be Americans. And they have done it without a warrant.”

The White House did not wait for Spanberger's rebuttal to air, publishing a takedown of her policies and positions early.

"Spanberger, like the rest of the Radical Left lunatics in her party, is fully against President Trump’s agenda of lowering costs, bringing back manufacturing, and securing our borders — instead favoring a return to the Biden-era carnage she was 'proud' to support," the pre-emptive release read.

"Abigail Spanberger can spare us the sanctimonious bulls——," the White House's Rapid Response X account posted after Spanberger's address. "For Spanberger, criminal illegals > Americans."

The official House GOP X account joined in on the attacks, posting, "FACT CHECK: The brave men and women of ICE are keeping us safe by removing DANGEROUS criminals from our country. Why are Democrats like @GovernorVA Abigail Spanberger trying to stop this?”

Richard Grenell, Trump's interim Kennedy Center president, also took to X to attack Spanberger's delivery, as well as her history in the CIA.

“Abigail Spanberger didn’t practice her speech enough — her pace is like a staccato song. Fast and then too slow,” Grenell posted. “Her articulation is terribly off.”

Later, he claimed that Spanberger was considered a "failure" in the CIA, and claimed that "she was frustrated by the mission of the CIA and the demand to keep politics out of the job — ultimately she left to be an open Democrat activist."
