Shocking Revelations from the Spanberger Campaign: Laughing at Tragedy?
In a stunning display of insensitivity, a campaign organizer for Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger has been caught on hidden camera laughing about the murder of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. This shocking behavior raises questions about the values of those who seek to lead our great Commonwealth of Virginia.
Maame Ama Deegbe, while speaking to an undercover reporter, dismissed Kirk’s tragic death with a flippant attitude, even implying that he was not a “good person.” This is not merely careless—it reflects a troubling mindset within the Democratic Party, where political violence becomes a running joke rather than a serious issue.
When asked about the atmosphere in Virginia following Kirk’s assassination, Deegbe responded, “I can’t legally talk about the Charlie thing but if you want to talk about the Charlie thing, I have all the ears for you in the world.” Such cavalier remarks trivialize a real tragedy in our political landscape.
Her laughter continued as she refrained from expressing any true condolences, saying, “I would be sad if you had died… I’ll leave it there.” What does that say about the character of those in the Spanberger camp? If they can’t show respect for life and the gravity of political violence, how can they gain the trust of Virginia voters?
Deegbe’s careless comments come in the wake of numerous scandals plaguing Spanberger’s campaign, including her team’s blatant disdain for opponents. In another leaked video, Deegbe disparages Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, calling her a “Black woman who thinks that slavery should be brought back.” This kind of rhetoric is not only offensive but indicative of a campaign desperate to score points rather than engage in serious, constructive dialogue.
Furthermore, Spanberger’s campaign has struggled against the backdrop of its own controversies, including its support for a candidate who made chilling remarks about violence against Republicans. With each misstep, it becomes clearer: Virginia deserves leadership that prioritizes respect and integrity.
As we approach the November 4 polling day, Virginians must ask themselves—can we trust a candidate and her team that revel in disrespect and disregard for human life? The answer is a resounding no. Spanberger’s narrow lead only underscores the pressing need for a principled leader like Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, who stands ready to lead with honor and respect for every Virginian.
