Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat running for governor of Virginia refuses to give a definitive answer to the question of boys in girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms.
She was asked about this by a reporter last week and gave a Kamala-style word salad answer. Now she has done it again when asked by another reporter.
Republican candidate and current Lieutenant Governor Winsome Sears has been hammering her on this issue and it’s easy to see why. Spanberger can’t answer the question because if she tells the truth, she knows she will turn off a majority of voters.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Abigail Spanberger was asked a yes or no question: Does she support biological boys playing in girls’ sports and using girls’ bathrooms? Instead, the Democratic Virginia gubernatorial hopeful gave a rambling answer before abruptly discussing rising costs.
“Do you support trans women playing in girls’ sports and being in girls’ restrooms?” ABC 13’s Alexia Stanbridge asked Spanberger on Tuesday. The reporter pointed to an ad by Spanberger’s opponent, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, that accuses the Democrat of supporting biological boys in girls’ locker rooms.
“In Virginia, we previously, until very recently, had a process in place where on an individual, one-by-one basis, schools, parents, principals, coaches, were making decisions based on fairness, competitiveness, and safety,” Spanberger said. She spoke about the old policy at length before finally saying she thought that process was “working.”
Then she suddenly pivoted and started attacking Earle-Sears.
“What you don’t see my opponent talking about is her plan to actually lower costs, to address the issues that I am hearing about everywhere I go from families, from parents,” Spanberger said. “How do we ensure that we are lowering costs in health care, housing, and energy,” she added before pivoting to issues regarding Virginia’s academic achievement.

Voters made themselves pretty clear on this issue in the 2024 election, but Democrats do not care. If Spanberger wins, she will ignore public sentiment and forge ahead with the left’s agenda on this.
