弗吉尼亚州民主党州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格在弗吉尼亚州加拉克斯举办的年度老提琴手大会最后一天短暂登台时，遭到了全场嘘声。

民主党州长阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格因到访弗吉尼亚州西南部有着近百年历史的提琴手大会而遭抨击，该地区的州议员将她与总统竞选失败者希拉里·罗德姆·克林顿相提并论。
2016年，希拉里·克林顿在做客纽约《早餐俱乐部》广播节目时称自己经常在包里带辣酱，此言一出令主持人意外。批评人士称，这一言论效仿了碧昂丝·诺尔斯，是在2016年竞选时任商人、真人秀明星唐纳德·特朗普期间，为讨好南方选民和黑人选民而作的政治秀。
代表加拉克斯的共和党议员雷恩·威廉姆斯在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示，他为选民们和平但强烈地表达对州长的不满感到自豪。本次第90届年度老提琴手大会正是在加拉克斯举办。

威廉姆斯称，在场所有人都清楚，斯潘伯格正试图“讨好”乡村居民，而这些居民此前已多次反对州长的多项政策，包括被司法叫停的选区重划计划，以及里士满共和党领导人所称的一系列“糟糕法案”。
“这就像希拉里·克林顿和她的辣酱事件——没人买账，”威廉姆斯说。

上周末，在公共安全主管斯坦利·米多尔介绍州长登场后，斯潘伯格和米多尔遭到了观众的嘘声。米多尔是加拉克斯本地人，此前曾在“反天主教备忘录”争议事件期间担任联邦调查局里士满分局特别主管，该事件曾引发国会审查。
威廉姆斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，加拉克斯和周边卡罗尔县的民众——地处蓝岭山脉顶部，与安迪·格里菲斯剧中“芒特派勒特”所在的北卡罗来纳州仅一步之遥——感觉自己被斯潘伯格忽视了，他们的反应是合理的。

“这些是我的选民，也是那些被她解除武装、试图强行塞进一个单一国会选区、完全符合他们政治立场的选民，她在一路撒谎的同时，还在为获得民主党全国提名、冲击首位女性总统之位而奔走，”威廉姆斯说。他还提到了斯潘伯格与克林顿之间的另一个相似之处。
加拉克斯目前由弗吉尼亚州共和党众议员摩根·格里菲斯代表。根据里士满民主党人提出的10席国会选区划分方案，加拉克斯将位于仅剩的共和党掌控选区的边缘，但该方案今年早些时候被弗吉尼亚州最高法院的两党法官小组否决。
弗吉尼亚州共和党高层——其选区距离斯潘伯格遭嘘的地点不远——告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，这一事件向州长证明，她的政策与当地民众对里士满的期望背道而驰：
“西南弗吉尼亚人从不羞于捍卫自己的价值观和生活方式，”来自盖特城的众议院少数党领袖特里·基尔戈尔说。
“当你试图剥夺他们在国会的发言权、侵犯他们的第二修正案权利、并提高他们的电费来支付他们既不想要也负担不起的绿色能源议程时，民众会让你知道他们的感受，”他说。

前司法部长杰森·米亚雷斯是反对斯潘伯格选区重划计划的“投反对票”联盟的核心人物，他在一份声明中表示，民众的反应在意料之中。
“斯潘伯格州长在加拉克斯遭嘘。事实证明，当你违背竞选承诺、试图通过左翼权力攫取、推行违宪的选区操纵计划以压制弗吉尼亚乡村地区的声音，再加上大规模增税，必然会迎来冷淡的接待，”米亚雷斯说。

“斯潘伯格终于不得不直面后果，”另一位弗吉尼亚州用户在X平台上写道。
其他批评人士将民主党在北弗吉尼亚州的优势与斯潘伯格在该州更多农村地区遭遇的反对形成对比。
“这些发出嘘声的民众展现了我们大多数弗吉尼亚人的心声……不是那些华盛顿特区蓝领郊区的共产主义者，”黛安·奇斯伯勒在X平台上写道。
“她该走人了，还要带上蒂姆·凯恩、马克·华纳和尤金·温德曼。”

电台主持人斯科特·亚当斯补充称，乡村选民“不会忘记”选区重划争议。
“西南弗吉尼亚人刚刚当面传达了这个信息，”他说。
“弗吉尼亚人受够她了，”前佛罗里达州共和党众议员马特·盖兹补充道。
不过，一些观察人士称赞斯潘伯格不顾该地区微弱的选举支持率，依然前往加拉克斯和卡罗尔县。

“阿比盖尔·斯潘伯格以68比32的差距输掉了加拉克斯独立市，但她还是来了，”民主党策略师马特·罗耶尔说。

“如果是共和党人，在自己失利的地区举办活动时早就夹着尾巴躲起来了，就像杰森昨天那样。她以15个百分点的优势赢得弗吉尼亚州，却依然去了一个会嘘她的地方。这才是履职的表现。”

Spanberger’s rough rural reception draws Hillary Clinton parallels
August 12, 2026 9:00am EDT / Fox News
State delegate compares governor’s visit to Hillary Clinton’s hot sauce moment, calling it pandering to rural constituents
By Charles Creitz, Eric Mack, Fox News
Virginia Democrat Gov. Abigail Spanberger was met with loud boos in a brief appearance on stage on the final day of the annual Old Fiddlers’ Convention in Galax, Virginia.
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger was roasted for her visit to a nearly century-old fiddling convention in southwestern Virginia, with the area’s state delegate comparing her unfavorably to failed presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Clinton famously surprised the hosts of New York’s “Breakfast Club” radio program in 2016 when she said she regularly carries hot sauce in her purse — a remark critics said echoed Beyoncé Knowles and amounted to political pandering to Southern and Black voters during her 2016 race against then-businessman and reality TV star Donald Trump.
Del. Wren Williams, a Republican who represents Galax, where the 90th Annual Old Fiddlers’ Convention took place, told Fox News Digital he was proud of constituents who made their feelings about the governor known peacefully but strongly.

Williams said it was clear to those assembled that Spanberger was trying to “pander” to rural residents, who have pushed back on several of the governor’s priorities, including the judicially halted redistricting effort and a slew of what Richmond Republican leaders have called “the bad bills.”
“[It was] about like Hillary Clinton and her hot sauce – nobody was buying it,” Williams said.

Over the weekend, Spanberger and her public safety chief, Galax native Stanley Meador, were booed after Meador introduced the governor. Meador previously served as special agent in charge of the FBI’s Richmond Field Office during the “anti-Catholic memo” controversy that drew congressional scrutiny.
Williams told Fox News Digital that people in Galax and surrounding Carroll County — atop the Blue Ridge and just over the border from Andy Griffith’s “Mount Pilot” area of North Carolina — have felt ignored by Spanberger and said their reaction was justified.

“These are my constituents, the same ones that she just disarmed, tried to force into one single congressional district that represented their political views, and lied every step of the way while jockeying for the national Democratic Party nod for her shot at first female president,” Williams said, referring to another parallel between Spanberger and Clinton.
Galax, currently represented in Congress by Rep. Morgan Griffith, R-Va., would have sat at the edge of the only remaining Republican-held district under Richmond Democrats’ proposed 10-1 congressional map, which a bipartisan group of Virginia Supreme Court justices blocked earlier this year.
Virginia’s top state Republican — whose district is not far west of where Spanberger got booed — told Fox News Digital the incident proved to the governor that her policies run counter to what his neighbors want from Richmond:
“Southwest Virginians have never been shy about standing up for their values and their way of life,” said House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore of Gate City.
“When you try to take away their voice in Congress, go after their Second Amendment rights, and drive up their power bills to pay for a green energy agenda they don’t want and can’t afford, folks are going to let you know how they feel,” he said.

Former Attorney General Jason Miyares, a top figure in the “Vote No” coalition opposing Spanberger’s redistricting effort, said in a statement that the crowd’s response was predictable.
“Governor Spanberger booed in Galax. Turns out when you break your campaign promise, attempt a leftist power grab pushing an unconstitutional gerrymandering effort in order to silence rural Virginia voices, coupled with massive tax increases, it results in a frosty reception,” Miyares said.

“Spanberger finally had to face the music,” another Virginia user wrote on X.
Other critics contrasted Democrats’ strength in Northern Virginia with opposition to Spanberger in more rural parts of the state.
“These folks booing are showing how the vast majority of those of us in Virginia feel… not those communists in the blue suburbs of DC,” Diane Cheesbrough wrote on X.
“She needs to go and take Tim Kaine and Mark Warner and Eugene Vindman with her.”

Radio host Scott Adams added that rural voters “are not forgetting” the redistricting controversy.
“Southwest Virginia just delivered the message in person,” he said.
“Virginians are done with her,” added former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla.
Some observers, however, credited Spanberger with going to Galax and Carroll County despite her weak electoral support in the area.

“Abigail Spanberger lost the independent city of Galax 68 to 32 and showed up anyway,” said Democratic strategist Matt Royer.

“A Republican would have tucked tail and stayed at home when it comes to events in places they lost, like Jason was yesterday. She won Virginia by 15 and still went to one place that booed her. That is the job.”
