A campaign organizer for Abigail Spanberger, the Democratic candidate for governor in Virginia, was filmed laughing and rolling her eyes when asked about the murder of Charlie Kirk.
Maam Ama Diegbe implied to an undercover reporter that Kirk, who was 31, wasn’t a “good person.” The footage captured Diegbe responding to a question from someone posing as a voter regarding the atmosphere in Virginia after Kirk’s assassination.
This video was recorded on September 16, just six days after Kirk was killed during an event at Utah Valley University.
The man who asked her about Kirk noted that Virginia was “a bit of a hot spot” politically, and that things felt “crazy right now.” Diegbe replied, “I can’t legally talk about Charlie, but if you want to discuss him, I’m all ears.”
When pressed for her thoughts, she responded, “I would be sad if you were dead. I don’t think so – I’ll leave it at that. You seem like a good person,” then laughed and shook her head.
She further added, “Can I say the same to Charlie? I’ll leave it at that,” while rolling her eyes again.
Diegbe mentioned that their stance on Kirk’s death was to condemn political violence. “We are far from it,” she stated.
This video surfaced just days after another leaked video revealed Diegbe criticizing her own candidates and bragging about her salary. In that clip, she mentioned Spanberger in a dismissive way, calling her “literally a CIA agent.” Another staffer from Spanberger’s campaign described their situation as being in “the darkest timeline.”
Diegbe also disparaged Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle Sears, saying she was “a black woman who thinks we should bring back slavery.” Following these controversies, she deleted her LinkedIn account, calling political campaigns “really big pyramid schemes” and claiming they pay “really good money.”
Spanberger’s campaign has been riddled with scandals, notably her continued support for AG candidate Jay Jones, despite troubling allegations against him. Currently, Spanberger maintains a slight lead ahead of the November 4 election, with polls indicating a tight race.
Her campaign has not provided any comments on these recent events.
