Before education became the hot-button issue, Youngkin ran a moderate campaign,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBX1DDGs22E&t=2700s</ref> airing an advertisement seeming to imply that white supremacists were responsible for rising crime<ref>https://tv.gab.com/channel/nationalfile/view/trump-offers-master-class-in-terrible-613a6590f8a8477a1c06fa60</ref> and refraining from a strong condemnation of [[abortion]] during a debate.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj_JQLaThi8&t=1776s</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laWfBJe42e8&t=1907s</ref> Youngkin also supported the removal of a [[Robert E.
