I just spoke with over 10 Democratic Senators in the past 2 hours. Not one of them would acknowledge @GovernorVA's comments on late-term abortion. Everyone of them denied ever hearing them.
Sen. Widen on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

"I haven't haven't seen them."

Me: "It was about late-term abortion."

He walked away...
Sen. Manchin on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

"I haven’t seen anything. I’ve been in retreats. Obviously I just got out of a meeting."

Kept walking...
Sen. Markey on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

"I don't know what he said. I don't know what he said."

Walked away.
Sen. Leahy on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

"I have no idea what he said. I have no idea what happened there. I do follow the Governor of Vermont though, all the time."
Sen. Reed on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

"I know what it is about. I have not listened."

Me: So no comment?

No response...
Sen. Menendez on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

Claims he has not heard them.

"No," he said in response to my question.

Capitol subway door then closed.
Sen. Coons on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

"I'm literally mid sentence talking to staff about the vote I have to take right now. Happy to talk to you soon."

Me: So you haven't heard them?

Coons: "I've been in a caucus retreat for two days."
Sen. Bernie Sanders on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

Staffer: "He doesn't have time for this right now."

Me: We have plenty of time on this escalator right now.

Sanders & his staffer walk into elevator...
Sen. Chris Murphy on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

Denied hearing comments.

"I mean I'm pro-choice. I support Connecticut's laws regarding choice. Connecticut is not talking about changing it's laws."

Wouldn't say if he supported abortion up till the 9th month.
Sen. Van Hollen on @GovernorVA's late-term abortion comments:

"I have not heard them actually. I have not."

Me: Ok. You can't say if you support late-term abortion or not?

Van Hollen: "I support Roe v. Wade. Ok. That's the holding that I support."
Sen. Kaine on @GovernorVA:

“I’m not going to comment about comments. I’ll just tell you the existing Virginia law, I think, is the right law, and it’s consistent with Roe versus Wade, where the state is able to impose meaningful regulations of a third trimester of pregnancy.”
Sen. Jones on his support for partial birth abortions:

"I support the law as it stands right now and that's what we're going to stick with, and I just think that we all need to speak a little bit together and talk about how we can do to…"
