Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) chose April 15 — better known to most American adults as Tax Day — to play defense for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and her efforts backfired in spectacular fashion.
Spanberger, who is currently facing Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears (R-VA) in the 2025 gubernatorial race, took to X to post her &#8220;Happy Tax Day&#8221; message attacking President Donald Trump and his administration.
&#8220;Just a reminder that while Virginians are filing their taxes, the Trump administration is cutting IRS staff and making it harder for people across the Commonwealth to get the help they need,&#8221; she posted.

Sears was among those who responded to Spanberger&#8217;s post, saying, &#8220;You just can’t make this up. Only a DC politician like @SpanbergerforVA would defend the IRS on Tax Day AFTER voting to hire 87,000 agents to wring every dollar out of you.&#8221;

&#8220;I’ve been filing taxes for 38 years and never once had a IRS staff member assist me, on, after, or prior to tax day,&#8221; another pointed out.

&#8220;How does the IRS staff help citizens of Virginia in need?&#8221; Scottie Nell Hughes asked. &#8220;The IRS doesn&#8217;t prepare or file taxes. It does target small businesses with expensive and time-wasting audits. I think you meant to say the Social Security Administration, but facts don&#8217;t matter as long as you are trying to demonize Trump, right?&#8221;
