Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s PAC is going up on television this week with a new $1.4 million ad buy and a spot focused on the issue of abortion, looking to boost Republican hopes in the November legislative elections. The ad, which was shared first with NBC News, hits Virginia Democrats for calling the GOP position on abortion a “ban” and is filled with the sounds of a baby cooing and an ultrasound heartbeat audible throughout the 30-second ad. “It’s disinformation,” the ad begins.
“We’re not going to let progressive liberal left lie to win an election,” Dave Rexrode, chairman of Spirit of Virginia, said to NBC News. In response to the advertisement, Democrats in the state say Republicans are the ones avoiding the truth. “They’re trying to hide their true plan to enact as many bans and restrictions as they possibly can,” Virginia Democratic Party chair Susan Swecker told NBC News.
