Virginia's Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger is running scared from defending her own redistricting scheme, refusing to debate former Republican Governor George Allen over the controversial April 21 referendum that could hand Democrats four more House seats through gerrymandering.
Former Governor Allen publicly challenged Spanberger to a debate on Friday, calling on her to defend the redistricting push to Virginia voters. Spanberger's response? Complete silence and refusal to engage.
The cowardice hasn't gone unnoticed by Virginia patriots. Political commentator Shayne hammered Spanberger on social media, posting: "Gov. Abigail Spanberger just ducked a debate on her own election map. Former Gov. George Allen challenged her to defend Virginia's new redistricting referendum in public. She said no. The same people who shout 'protect democracy' won't spend 60 minutes answering questions."
This is the classic Democrat playbook - scream about "protecting democracy" while refusing to actually participate in democratic debate when it comes to their own power grabs. Spanberger knows she can't defend this blatant gerrymandering scheme in the light of day.
Democrats' Redistricting Power Grab Exposed
The April 21 special election represents a naked attempt by Virginia Democrats to redraw district lines in their favor, potentially flipping four House seats from red to blue. It's exactly the kind of election manipulation Democrats have perfected while accusing Republicans of the same tactics.
Virginia conservatives aren't backing down from this fight. One Twitter user identified as Thomas Jefferson supporter posted: "Good for Governor Allen for challenging Abigail Spanberger to a debate. It will never happen, as communist Spanberger is keeping her head down and continuing spewing lies, propaganda and hate against hardworking Virginia citizens, capitalism and President Trump. VOTE NO."
Spanberger's refusal to debate exposes the weakness of the Democrats' position. If this redistricting plan was truly about fairness and representation, why won't she defend it publicly? The answer is simple: because it's an indefensible power grab that benefits Democrat elites at the expense of Virginia voters.
Virginia patriots must turn out on April 21 and vote NO on this Democrat redistricting scam. When politicians won't defend their actions in public, you know they're up to no good.
