In the heated race for Virginia’s governorship, a disturbing display of anti-American sentiment has emerged from the campaign of Democrat Abigail Spanberger. Her running mate, Ghazala Hashmi, was recently captured on video delivering a speech in front of symbols that can only be described as a deliberate desecration of the nation’s most sacred emblems. This is not a case of mere political disagreement; it is a blatant act of contempt for the very foundations of the United States, a performance that would be unthinkable for any candidate who truly respects this country and its citizens.
During this campaign stop, Hashmi chose to speak before a distressed American flag hung in the internationally recognized sign of distress—upside down. Adjacent to this disrespected flag stood a makeshift tombstone that chillingly read, “RIP Constitution.” It is an appalling scene that reveals the radical soul of the Democratic ticket in Virginia. While the liberal media often downplays such unpatriotic acts, this visual evidence is undeniable. Hashmi’s own words, captured in a transcript from the event, confirm the defiant and divisive spirit of the gathering. She shouted to her supporters, “We have to fight. We are not going to concede this democracy to the efforts of tyranny,” she declared. “We are not going to concede the rights that we have in this country to protect every single citizen. We are going to fight. This is an act of civil disobedience that we are going to keep up and make sure that your voices continue throughout Virginia, all throughout the country.”
This rhetoric, framed as a fight against so-called “tyranny,” is in fact a direct assault on American values and institutions. The notion that the Constitution is dead is a dangerous far-left fantasy, one that stands in stark opposition to the America-First policies of President Donald Trump, who consistently championed the rule of law and the sanctity of our national symbols. While Hashmi engages in this political theater, she ignores the real, hardworking people of Virginia, whom she has a history of disparaging as racists. This pattern of behavior demonstrates that the Spanberger-Hashmi ticket is profoundly out of touch with the patriotism that defines the American heartland. It is no wonder that some Democrats are themselves recoiling at her extremism.
Indeed, a significant crack has appeared within the Virginia Democratic party, with several of its members breaking ranks to endorse Hashmi’s Republican opponent, John Reid. A new coalition, led by Democrat former elected officials, business owners, and community leaders, has been launched to back Reid’s bid for lieutenant governor. Former Democrat state Sen. Joe Morrissey, one of the coalition leaders, declared his support for Reid, saying in a powerful statement, “This isn’t about party; it’s about Virginia’s future.” Morrissey, who served alongside Hashmi in the Virginia Senate, delivered a stunning indictment of his former colleague, stating, “Ghazala Hashmi has sided with Richmond insiders time and again. John Reid is willing to stand up for working families, first responders, and taxpayers.”
🚨AFTER The Polls tightened in VIRGINIA, the Democrats panicked and released their “October Surprise” smearing Lt. Governor Candidate John Reid.
Unsurprisingly, it’s a bunch of laughably absurd lies.

Hashmi’s flippant response to this bipartisan rejection, posting on social media, “I’m proud to have not received this endorsement for our campaign today,” only further underscores her arrogance and disconnect. This internal rebellion signals a growing recognition that the radicalism embodied by Hashmi and, by extension, Abigail Spanberger, is a losing and destructive path for the Commonwealth. As the Democrat ticket spirals into unpatriotic displays and internal party chaos, the Republican ticket stands as a pillar of stability and American values. Spanberger’s opponent is the steadfast Winsome Sears, the current Republican Lieutenant Governor. While Sears started the race with a polling disadvantage, the race has become extremely tight in recent weeks, a clear indication that Virginians are waking up to the dangerous and un-American agenda of the Democrat candidates.
