A video released by the Democratic PAC American Bridge on Thursday apparently shows excerpts of a decades-old interview with Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Schuette.

The group released a video of Schuette on Twitter, saying it was from 1989 but providing no other context. In it, he makes several comments, apparently to somebody behind the camera.

He is asked to move closer to a lamp and obliges, saying "I'll do anything you want, some things I may not let you run the camera on."

We obtained this footage of @SchuetteOnDuty, dated from 1989. It seems... interesting. Can anyone give us more information about this video and who the woman is behind the camera? #migov pic.twitter.com/1ErYoodZZV — American Bridge (@American_Bridge) October 11, 2018

Schuette has no recollection of the apparent interview, according to his campaign, but released a statement based on viewing it in the present day.

"That apparently was my poor attempt to be humorous 30 years ago. The video, which appears to be edited with only one short portion shown, has been in the public domain for some time," Schuette said.

"It's fortunate for me that Cynthia came into my life and let me know that I am not a very funny guy, but this is no less embarrassing to me today and I regret it."

American Bridge is a PAC that bills itself as "holding Republicans accountable."

Schuette is running for governor against Democrat Gretchen Whitmer, who released a statement about the video on Twitter.

I imagine everyone who’s watched it had the same uncomfortable look on our faces. But even more troubling is the fact that Schuette has spent the past 33 years in office attacking the rights of women and working to take away our access to contraception and health care. https://t.co/3msr79qEIV — Governor Gretchen Whitmer (@gretchenwhitmer) October 11, 2018

Schuette and Whitmer are set to debate each other for the first time on Friday.

The election takes place Nov. 6.
