Virginia’s Republican nominee for lieutenant governor is accusing Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s political advisers of extortion and says they’re trying to force him to end his campaign.

The candidate alleged that he is being targeted over his sexuality after Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin called for him to drop out of the race.

Conservative radio host John Reid vowed to continue his bid for lieutenant governor of Virginia amid allegations that he shared explicit images of naked men on Tumblr.
