A Virginia Republican delegate targeted in a death threat last week is firing back at Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger, pointing to her viral " let your rage fuel you " comments as fueling division.

Former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., has denied her comments had anything to do with a threat against state Del. Kim Taylor of Petersburg , and that they were meant in the context of fueling activism like letter-writing and voter engagement efforts.

But on Monday, Taylor wasn’t buying that explanation:

"[Spanberger] told supporters to ‘let your rage fuel you’ and now she wants to pretend she didn’t mean it. Sorry, Abigail, you don’t get to walk it back," Taylor told Fox News Digital.
