Video shows GOP candidate admitting he hides anti-abortion views to win over voters

Video has emerged of the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia saying he avoids voicing his anti-abortion views in front of voters.

The footage, released by the political journalist Lauren Windsor, shows the GOP candidate, Glenn Youngkin, speaking at a campaign stop last month. Mr Youngkin tells Windsor he’s “staunchly, unabashedly pro-life,” and another person asks him if he’ll “take it to the abortionists.”

The Republican’s answer is surprisingly candid.

Video has emerged of the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia saying he avoids voicing his anti-abortion views in front of voters.

The footage, released by the political journalist Lauren Windsor, shows the GOP candidate, Glenn Youngkin, speaking at a campaign stop last month. Mr Youngkin tells Windsor he’s “staunchly, unabashedly pro-life,” and another person asks him if he’ll “take it to the abortionists.”

The Republican’s answer is surprisingly candid.

I’m going to be really honest with you,” Mr Youngkin says. “The short answer is in this campaign, I can’t. When I’m governor and I have a majority in the House, we can start going on offense. But as a campaign topic, sadly, that in fact won’t win my independent votes that I have to get.”

Mr Youngkin’s opponent, former Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe, blasted the response.

“After last night’s revelations, it’s clear Glenn Youngkin is trying to hide his right-wing agenda from Virginians,” the Democrat tweeted. “No wonder he’s been dodging the debates!”
