A Democratic gubernatorial candidate in Virginia supports the anti-Israel boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement, he said during a debate.

As part of a virtual event for the Virginia People's Debates series Tuesday, the candidates were asked whether they would support laws limiting the BDS movement, which puts pressure on the government and companies to financially separate themselves from Israel. Del. Lee Carter is not only against criminalizing the movement but also a supporter of it, he said.
