🚨🚨NEW: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH: Virginia's Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger TAKES CREDIT & OMITS the person and political party who deserve it: President Trump & Republicans In Abingdon on Thursday, Spanberger announced a Rural Health Transformation award of $127,500 to Virginia Highlands Community College. The grant is the first portion of the $189,544,888 that Virginia has received as a result of the single-vote passage of the Republicans' One Big Beautiful Bill Act (also called the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, H.R. 1, or Public Law 119-21), which created the Rural Health Transformation Program & Fund. Thus, she has tens of millions in additional funds to dole out across the state during the election season. At the same time, Spanberger is also BLAMING the federal law that created the program, calculating that most voters won't know the TRUE origin of the federal funding. She can claim that Democrats -- all of whom voted AGAINST the law -- are the "affordability" party that cares about rural Virginians through "their" insightful programs, while the cold-hearted Republicans (& TRUMP!!) do not. But nothing could be further from the truth. Verbatim from Spanberger's news release: “As the so-called ‘One Big Beautiful Bill’ threatens rural healthcare providers and Virginians’ access to care, I will continue bringing providers, patients, and local leaders to the table as we chart our path forward. Amid the uncertainty out of Washington, we are working together to build stronger local systems and a more connected healthcare network.” This is disturbing for many reasons, but here are just a few: 1) During last year's gubernatorial campaign, Spanberger (without rebuttal) stoked voter fears about rural health care calamities & blamed H.R. 1 -- even though the law had already been signed on July 4 & Va. Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin was already applying for the federal funds. He solicited input from stakeholders on Sept. 3, and Virginia was awarded the $189.5+ million on Dec. 29 -- BEFORE Spanberger took office. This is only the first-year allocation, and Virginia will receive much more in subsequent years. 2) The federal RHT website states that the program was "authorized by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act," while the Virginia site OMITS the program's authorization, stating only that it is "a nationwide, five-year, $50 billion federal initiative..." Notice who does NOT receive credit? 3) It continues Spanberger's pattern of obscuring (distorting? manipulating?) facts, blaming the President and Republicans, taking undeserved credit for Democrats, and relying on her record of getting away with it to tarnish the GOP brand and candidates ahead of the upcoming elections. However, the Virginia Republican congressional incumbents whom Spanberger will campaign against this fall are the very members who conceived of, passed, and funded a program that provides proactive grants to strengthen and modernize rural Virginia healthcare. If the Democrats' NO votes had prevailed, Spanberger would have had NO cash to dole out and curry the voters' favor. Can we hold her and Democrats accountable THIS time by sharing the truth widely & giving credit where it RIGHTFULLY belongs? Receipts and votes:
