Virginia Legislative Candidate's Sex Videos Cause Controversy, Uncertainty Over Party Support
-
Virginia Democrats say controversy over legislative candidate Susanna Gibson's livestreamed sex acts is a distraction from key election issues like abortion rights.
-
Neither state Democrats nor Gibson have publicly said if she'll get party support after the videos emerged showing her requesting payment for sex acts.
-
Gibson denounced release of the videos but hasn't ended her campaign or addressed the issue further.
-
Most VA Republicans have also avoided commenting, except the state party calling her behavior disqualifying.
-
Gibson has much more campaign cash than her GOP opponent and could still get party help, but unclear if she'll retain volunteers.
