As the federal government began to shut down Wednesday, Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears placed the blame for any ill effects on the Old Dominion at the feet of her Democratic opponent, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger and the state’s two U.S. senators.
Republicans balked Thursday at Democratic attempts to insert so-called poison pills in the spending bill, including healthcare provisions for illegal immigrants that led President Donald Trump to post an AI-generated video of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., wearing a sombrero.
Earle-Sears told Fox News Digital that Spanberger spent months attacking federal Republicans for "fighting reckless spending," including through DOGE efforts of Trump and others.
"Now, Abigail is watching as her own party votes to shut down the government because they want to continue that reckless spending," Earle-Sears said.
