radical left VA Governor Spanberger booed off stage at national Fiddlers Convention | Eastern NC Now

Rural voters showed what they think of their new far left Governor Abigail Spanberger when she appeared on stage at the 90th annual Old Fiddlers Convention, the largest even of its kind in America.  The event was held in southwestern Virginia and drew a largely rural crowd.  When Spanberger appeared on stage, there was a very loud chorus of boos and many in the crowd turned their backs to her in a sign of disrespect.  She was unable to continue with her intended remarks.

Spanberger campaigned for office claiming she would be a "common sense moderate", but immediately after taking office has adopted a wide range of far left positions.  Voters do not like being lied to so brazenly by politicians.  Spanberger is probably unelectable to any office again in Virginia, but that is not her goal.  She is term limited to one term as governor so  she has set her sights on running for president, and is thus going hard left to appeal to the national Democrat base.  That makes her toxic with voters in her own state.
