Democratic gubernatorial nominee Terry McAuliffe released a new ad Wednesday morning highlighting hidden video footage of his opponent discussing abortion in Virginia. Glenn Youngkin, the Republican nominee responded with his own video.
“Glenn Youngkin’s been caught, caught on video admitting his far-right agenda,” the narrator says.
Youngkin then responded with a new ad and statement from his campaign.
“Terry McAuliffe said he’s proud to be endorsed by radical groups that support taxpayer-funded abortions up until the moment of birth,” said a spokesperson for Youngkin. “The majority of Virginians do not support McAuliffe’s extreme pro-abortion agenda. Glenn Youngkin supports funding for women’s health centers, believes that fewer abortions is a good thing, and supports exceptions for rape, incest, and when the life of the mother is in danger.”
