Jay Jones once texted that he hoped someone would put two bullets into head of then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert. Jones then said he would piss on Gilbert’s grave. In a separate text he wanted Gilbert’s children to be killed in front of their mother. He called the children little fascists.
Jones is the Democratic nominee for attorney general in Virginia. And many are horrified over his private musings about political assassinations. However, not a single Democrat has called for Jones to pull out of the race.
Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, who is running for governor, condemned the Democrats for their silent endorsement of Jones.
Earle-Sears wrote on X Friday that the texts “should be wholly disqualifying of someone running for an office that protects the people of Virginia.”
“Jay Jones’ horrific comments are a symptom of the entire Democratic Party and his running mate, Abigail Spanberger, needs to call on him to drop out,” she said.
Current Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin also blasted Democrats.
“There is no ‘gosh, I’m sorry’ here,” Youngkin said in a post Saturday. “Jones doesn’t have the morality or character to drop out of this race, and his running mates Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi, and every elected Democrat in Virginia don’t have the courage to call on him to step away from this campaign in disgrace.”
Mark Rozell, dean of the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University, told the Washington Post the texts will shake the contest.
“Just the messages on their face: Those were really horrible things to communicate about a political opponent,” Rozell said. “There’s no explanation in this world that would excuse it, that could justify it. Republicans are going to have a day with it, as they should.”
President Trump issued a statement through Truth. Social calling for Jones to step aside in the race.
It has just come out that the Radical Left Lunatic, Jay Jones, who is running against Jason Miyares, the GREAT Attorney General in Virginia, made SICK and DEMENTED jokes, if they were jokes at all, which were not funny, and that he wrote down and sent around to people, concerning the murdering of a Republican Legislator, his wife, and their children. Abigail Spanberger, who is running for Governor, is weak and ineffective, and refuses to acknowledge what this Lunatic has done. Even Democrats are saying it is “RESIGNATION FROM CAMPAIGN” TERRITORY. Democrat Jay Jones should drop out of the Race, IMMEDIATELY, and the People of Virginia must continue to have a GREAT Attorney General in Jason Miyares who, by the way, has my Complete and Total Endorsement — JASON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!
But over the weekend Democrat lawmaker stood in the pulpit of a black church and justified the vile threats made in text messages written by Jones. It was reprehensible. Why won’t Democrats condemn political violence?
The reason why the DNC has not called on Jay Jones to withdraw from the race is very simple. They, too, wish they could kill Republicans, piss on their graves and then force Republican mothers to watch as their children are slaughtered.
The cancel culture movement has given way to the assassination culture movement. That’s why so many Democrats across the country celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk and why so many were disappointed when President Trump survived not one, but two attempts on his life.
The Democrat Party has become the Party of Satan.
