Republican Candidate Cannot Answer Basic Abortion Question: 'I Would Say, Yes, Abortion Policy'
So the moderator repeated herself. Again: “Would you vote to restrict abortion in any way in Minnesota?” Adding, for a fourth time, “Please state clearly yes or no and then explain your answer in one minute.”Instead, Knecht fell deeper into the hole he’d dug for himself. “If this comes up, my abortion...I-I will vote,” he stumbled to say before bizarrely repeating words to himself again. “We need more nuance in this, the discussion. I would say yes, abortion policy.
After a back-and-forth with an audience member, who is difficult to hear because they didn’t have a mic, Knecht finally stuck the landing. But if you’re an abortion-loving Minnesotan, the complete sentence he managed to get out is still stupid and incomprehensible. “Abortion policy should be safe, legal, and we should ensure there are limits on post-viability procedures, so I would vote yes, we should have limits on post-viability procedures.
Honestly, I cannot imagine getting an easier question as a candidate, especially in our current political climate. If you’re anti-abortion, you say yes. If you’re pro-abortion, you say no. Knecht managed to say neither. As funny as it may be to watch Republicans scramble now that being anti-abortiontheir seat, it’s no less infuriating that they’re the ones who cried, whined, and screamed “MAGA” until our rights were rolled back in the first place.
“We can’t let the loudest and most extreme views, on either side of the aisle, silence the reasonable middle,” says Knecht’s campaign website. But if he’s the “reasonable middle,” then he’s doing a great job silencing himself.
