Feb. 25 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump is not working for the American people but enriching himself at their expense, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger said Tuesday in her Democratic response to his State of the Union address, saying Americans this year have an opportunity "to reject the unacceptable and demand more of their government."
Before a small audience in Historic Williamsburg, Va., Spanberger asked the American people to question whether Trump was working to make their lives more affordable, safer at home and abroad and whether he was working for them.
"We all know the answer is no," she said.
Spanberger spoke for about 15 minutes without once stating the president's name following his record 1-hour, 48-minute address to the joint session of Congress where he championed the U.S. economy while attacking his rivals as he declared that the United States was "back, bigger, better, richer and stronger than ever before."
To the American people, Spanberger, the first woman elected governor of Virginia, rejected Trump's assertions, saying he did Tuesday night what he always does: "He lied, he scapegoated and he distracted."
