Fake moderate Virginia Democrat Abigail Spanberger feels the heat from fed up, impeachment-weary constituents

[AMERICANTHINKER] The first signs of trouble ahead for newly elected so-called moderate representatives in swing districts are being felt here in Virginia's 7th District.

Rep. Abigail Spanberger hopped on the moderate train in 2018, touting her CIA background ad nauseam to the people of the traditionally Republican 7th District. With the help of millions of dollars from pro-~~child sacrifice~~ abortion PACs and Soros-funded outfits, volunteers from Northern Virginia spread out over the western and southwestern suburbs of Richmond to give her a slim margin of victory over Republican Dave Brat. But Spanberger's cover as an across-the-aisle moderate is not holding up well under the pressure of an impeachment hoax and a newly elected majority-Democrat Legislature.

Up until this past weekend, Spanberger's numerous town halls have been generally peaceful Q&As. That all changed during Sunday's gathering at a middle school gym in Spotsylvania County.

The Virginia General Assembly's push for more radical gun control policies coupled with Spanberger's "yes" vote for the impeachment inquiry after she promised to vote "no" came to a head on Sunday. If many of her constituents weren't paying attention to Spanberger's flip-flop before the hearings began last week, they are now.

The mask is slipping, and the lady is no moderate. In one exchange with a member of the audience, Spanberger, the CIA officer, apparently didn't understand that here in the United States we are innocent until proven guilty.

"No one has dispelled or attempted to dispel or provide evidence that would exonerate the president," she said.

"Did you really say that? You have to prove you're innocent?" someone else responded.

Spanberger then insisted President Trump's conduct with Ukraine jeopardized national security.

#1 Not weary of impeachment. The correct word is outraged.

#2 There are no more "moderates" wearing the (D). The only "moderates" to be found wear (R) instead, much to our chagrin.

#3 Congressman: "No one has dispelled or attempted to dispel or provide evidence that would exonerate the president."

Citizen: "Did you really say that? You have to prove you're innocent?"

The above is yet another example illustrating why the vulgar term, Shitshow, is really the only term that fits the current political class and its antics.

In this example we have a college-educated former intelligence officer, now a Representative in Congress, showing for all the world to see that she doesn't have the faintest understanding of the foundational principle of our system of justice. Unbelievable.

This is Elmer Fudd territory: the farmer as moron, not knowing which end of the gun is the business end. Or Mr. Bean/Rowan Atkinson as pastor at the wedding, nattering on about the "Holy S-S-Spigot" and asking the groom if he will "take this woman to be your awful wedded wife."

What the hell has happened to this country?

How did we arrive at so many millions of educated fools not knowing the most basic facts about the presumption of innocence, or due process, or the foreign policy-making process, or basic facts about contemporary Russia?

This woman especially has no excuse.

Who the f--- are these morons?

How and why have they been foisted upon us?

#4 How and why have they been foisted upon us?

Wasn't morons one of the Biblical plagues of Egypt? Or maybe it was frogs. I forget. Jeez, there sure are a lot of them, though.

#5 I get that Pharaoh had it coming. But what did we do to deserve The Shitshow?

#6 This is the woman who defeated conservative Dave Brat with the help of the courts changing his district?

#9 Only then do they feel like they will lose something, Dron.

I also don't think the left realizes how close they are to bullet box territory.

#10 I believe four or five Republicans are fighting each other for the privilege of taking the district back from her.

#11 Yep. Final paragraph of the essay:

Spanberger's support of the impeachment fiasco has come back to bite her, and with at least four Republicans now vying for the chance to unseat her in 2020, the suburban, wine-swilling soccer moms may not be enough to save her.
