EP69 - Virginia GOP Ignores the Insanity of Donald Trump, Whines About Gov. Spanberger

About this episode

The episode discusses the Virginia GOP's criticism of Gov. Abigail Spanberger amidst Donald Trump's erratic behavior and the political landscape in Virginia.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again,” Donald Trump wrote in his latest insane communication on April 7, 2026 EP68: TARGETING GOV. SPANBERGER WHILE IGNORING THE ROLLING CRAZINESS OF DONALD TRUMP. On episode 69 of the Black Virginia News podcast, Dr. Fergie Reid, Jr. and Lauren Burke discuss the negative coverage of Gov. Abigail Spanberger. The attacks come mostly from the political right — and they come at a time when President Donald Trump is exhibiting unhinged behavior that has some in open conversation another 25th Amendment of the Constitution. Only five months after Democrats in Virginia, led by Speaker Don Scott and Del. Dan Helmer, scored a historic electoral beatdown that has them enjoying a 60+ seat majority in the Virginia House and all statewide offices, the GOP in Virginia is attempting to position Gov. Spanberger as a crazed leftist as Donald Trump trashes the U.S. economy and conducts a $2 billion a day war of choice. As usual: Republicans in Virginia never miss an opportunity to feature race as part of their PR game. Thank you for listening and thanks to all of our subscribers.
