Spanberger ripped after taking credit for billions in investments secured under GOP predecessor: 'Pathetic'
However, Spanberger's signature was effectively just a formality, as the deals she touted were part of previous Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin's broader push to spur economic development as governor of Virginia, which included a record of $156 billion in total CEO commitments during his term. As he was exiting office, the former GOP governor garnered more than the previous six gubernatorial administrations combined, according to a press release from Youngkin's team.
I agree that it's pathetic but youngkin and hannity complaining about it is hugely hypocritical when:
- they say nothing when trump does it which is just as pathetic.
- they're complaining about her efforts on redistricting but say nothing about texastine, Missouri, etc.

You might make bobsqat jealous if you did it but I think he'd understand and actually wish to be there for a ménage à trois.

Declining marriages and broken families are crippling predominantly blue states, while red states thrive with better economic mobility, education and lower crime, according to a 2026 Family Structure Index released Tuesday by the Ohio-based Center for Christian Virtue.

No amount of paid family leave, childcare subsidies, or social experimentation will rebuild the foundation that families provide," he said. "If those policies were enough, states like California and New York would be leading the way. The data show otherwise. If we’re serious about reducing poverty and expanding opportunity, we need to strengthen the institutions that have always made America strong: faith, family, and economic freedom."

What specifically has Trump taken credit for like Spanberger was trying to do?

Is it now Youngkins job to sit back and let Spanberger take credit for his efforts?

Trump’s Economy is Bleeding Jobs, So Instead He’s Taking Credit Democrats’ Infrastructure Wins That He Railed Against
Instead of changing course and supporting job creation, the Trump administration is plastering signs with Donald Trump’s name at the sites of infrastructure projects funded by President Biden’s historic 2021 Infrastructure Law — which Trump railed against and once called “a loser for the U.S.A.”
How Trump Is Taking Credit For Biden’s Biggest Achievements
Just hours after taking office in January, President Trump boasted about attracting $3 trillion worth of corporate investments to the U.S. Since then, Trump has claimed that number has swelled to over $14 trillion - Nearly half of the country’s entire annual GDP.

The White House set up a website to track these investments, which it has labelled “The Trump Effect.” But a study from Reuters has revealed that of the $2.6 trillion in investments listed on the site—already significantly below Trump’s vastly inflated estimate—nearly half of them originate from deals and initiatives put into place by Joe Biden.
...
When asked about taking credit for Biden-era deals and policies, a White House spokesperson claimed the final decisions were undertaken during Trump’s tenure, and that the president’s economic policies were responsible for triggering investment.
That defense/justification at the end sounds similar to spanberger's.

You're the MAQA yahoo on this board most likely to give trump a little criticism, why is it so hard to admit that trump has also been guilty of what spanberger is currently doing? Taking credit for someone else's accomplishments is pathetic regardless of party or movement.

No it's not youngkin's job but it would be nice if talking heads (on both sides) weren't hypocrites, quick to criticize the words/behavior of those they disagree with while conveniently overlooking the same or similar words/behavior by those they agree with.

I respect people with scruples who at least try to be consistent, I have little respect for hypocrites/people with double standards.

If youngkin is going to complain about spanberger doing it (which he did with hannity) after saying nothing when trump does it then youngkin is also a hypocrite.

MAQA yahoo's fear of upsetting trump is their problem and doesn't excuse their hypocrisy/double standards.

Real tDS:
- tDS Type I: what trump did is pathetic, what spanberger didn isn't.
- tDS Type II: what spanberger did is pathetic, what trump did isn't.

What spanberger and trump did is pathetic.

“Mamdani last week released a 375-page "Preliminary Racial Equity Plan" that argues systemic racism is a key driver of those disparities, with White households holding more than $200,000 in median wealth compared to less than $20,000 for Black households.”

If the idiot would just take a look around he would notice that there’s barely any white people left in New York City… Staten Island and pockets of Manhattan…

Thank you for confirming your tDS Type II diagnosis.

What trump has taken credit for is well documented as shown by the articles I linked to and quoted. They don't even get into all the bullshit things trump and his minions are still trying to blame on biden.
