Virginia GOP Candidate Youngkin Pushes Back On Allegations He’s Hiding Radical Pro-Life Stances

“Glenn Youngkin wants to defund Planned Parenthood and ban abortion in Virginia,” McAuliffe told WaPo. “Glenn knows he is completely out of step with Virginians, and he’s now admitted to hiding his real agenda just to get elected. Virginians cannot trust a word that comes out of his mouth.”

Youngkin’s reference to radical abortion policy harkens back to Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s January 2019 comments endorsing infanticide.

“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen,” Northam said in an interview. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”

Youngkin, the former CEO of the private equity giant Carlyle Group, won the Republican nomination for Virginia governor in May. The Virginia election will be one of only two state elections choosing governors in 2021.

Former President Donald Trump endorsed Youngkin in a May statement that called McAuliffe Bill Clinton’s “bagman.” (RELATED: Trump Calls Democratic VA Candidate Terry McAuliffe Bill Clinton’s ‘Bagman’ In Youngkin Endorsement)

“Congratulations to Glenn Youngkin for winning the Republican nomination for Governor of Virginia,” the former president said. “Glenn is pro-Business, pro-Second Amendment, pro-Veterans, pro-America, he knows how to make Virginia’s economy rip-roaring, and he has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”

“Glenn is running against Bill Clinton’s longtime enabler, Terry McAuliffe,” Trump continued. “Terry McAuliffe was the Clintons’ bagman in more ways than one, from the cover-ups to the get-rich-quick schemes, and his deals with Communist China look suspicious. He was responsible for many of the problems Virginia currently has. Virginia doesn’t need the Clintons or the Communist Chinese running the state, so say no to Terry McAuliffe, and yes to Patriot Glenn Youngkin.”
