“Machado said the experience shook his faith in Trump's immigration enforcement efforts.

“I was a Trump supporter,” he said. “I voted for Trump last election."

Machado said he thought the Trump administration would "just go against criminals, not every Hispanic looking, like, that they will assume that we are all illegals.”

Did you even read the article? They were looking for someone who had given his address as their home. They let him go. It seems the two people with him were taken into custody.

Yes, did you? The guy is a legal resident and they detained him simply because he looked Hispanic. He even offered to show his ID.

They had no right to detain him.

MAGA is perfectly fine throwing away the rights of citizens and legal residents.

You said the same thing when we were staring at the Biden v. Trump choice. At some point how are Democrats not learning to put up better candidates instead of berating voters about casting a ballot for their terrible candidate or else MAGA. Do better. This is why the party is so unpopular even in the era of Trump.

So to “teach” Democrats a lesson you’re going to fck us all over.

So irrational.

Grow TF up.

Nope, the Dems f*cked us all over by putting up Jay Jones for AG. I am not voting for Jay Jones because he is completely unfit for the job that he is running for. I am not going to eat a sh!t sandwich to cover for the Dems inability to run a qualified person for AG. And I’m not the only one with this perspective, but keep screaming into the void. *Shrug*

Go nuts. At least admit that you think MAGA is an acceptable outcome.

And Jay Jones is?

Yes. He got a speeding ticket and sent a text. It wasn’t an actual threat, just bad taste.

Get a grip.

It wasn’t a threat he wanted to shoot
Someone and their kids? How far will you go to rationalize that this person is not fit to be AG?

Was he actually threatening to shoot anyone? Hitler? No, it was obviously a hypothetical.

Poor taste but not an actual threat.

Here is some of the texts you think aren't so bad:

Jones then mused about a scenario in which he had two bullets and could choose to fire them at Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot — the brutal Cambodian dictator — or then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R).

“Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones wrote, according to the screenshot.

The text conversation continued after the call ended. In those further texts, Coyner suggested that Jones had also talked about Gilbert’s children dying in the arms of their mother, Jennifer.

“You weren’t trying to understand,” Coyner texted. “You were talking about hopping [sic] jennifer Gilbert’s children would die”
“Yes, I’ve told you this before,” Jones replied. “Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”

If a Republican said this about any Democrat you would be screaming to high heavens. The fact you think this isn't so bad says more about you are your willingness to excuse this.

I am guessing his point was around gun violence. Would it take having their own kids shot to convince Rs to support common sense gun control?

We don’t know exactly what was said or the context.

Speeding and bad taste texts? I’d still take him over MAGA.

The bar is truly so low now thanks to the Republicans that he honestly still has a lot of leeway.

The texts were posted. They were exactly what was said. There’s no context this is acceptable. The fact you are trying to downplay this is just ridiculous.

No we don’t know what was said in the conversation. We don’t have the full context.

This guy drove too fast and wrote some poor taste texts.

I’ll take that any day over someone willing to throw away our rights.

Exactly what context are we missing when this guy wrote he wanted to put 2 bullets in the head of his opponent, anted his kids to die in their mother’s arms and then double down on the comments?

The entire phone call is missing. You don’t know what was said or even what led up to the conversation. You don’t know the tone.

Are you purposely ignoring the texts? And I might add that jones has not denied anything that was written about the phone call.

Are you purposely ignoring the fact that there were circumstances that lead up to that exchange?

Are you purposely ignoring the fact that there was an entire phone call that we didn’t hear?

We don’t have the context for the texts, period. We don’t know the intent or tone.

He could easily have been joking. Something that was in poor taste and still warranted an apology.

Anyway, my entire point was we don’t have the context to make a fully informed judgement.

Content aside. Any adult that would memorialize these comments in text messages show incredibly poor judgement and should not be rewarded with elective office.

Aside from the expressed thoughts, the lack of judgement is also a deal breaker.
Add that to going 116 miles an hour and going three miles before stopping for the police.
Then, doing "community service" for your own PAC (and incidentally being signed off by someone on his payroll.)

You would think that anyone running for attorney general would know better than to express himself in writing. But, I guess I'm glad he did. He just revealed himself to Virginia. And, yet, there are still people on this forum who support him. Very, very troubling.

This is an opportunity for Democrats to show they’ve not completely lost their minds. So far, they seem to be doing this opposite.

The ballots have been printed. Many people have voted already. What exactly are they supposed to do?

Suck it up and vote for the guy who isn’t perfect but will protect Virginians from Trump.

The guy who wants to put 2 bullets in someone’s head???


Are you kidding.

If he wins, Democrats will lose VA next election and have no creditability.

The guy who is passionate about our rights and maybe went a little overboard. It wasn’t a real threat. It was a hyperbolic hypothetical with Hitler, etc.

If he wins, we will have a chance to fight back against Trump.

If he doesn’t win, Miyares will support Trump’s next Big Lie. You might be ok enabling MAGA but most of us aren’t.

You are posting within your own echo chamber. The fact that you are justifying what Jones said as just a “little hyperbolic” and a “little overboard” is every bit as disgusting as the MAGAs you abhor.

BoTh sIDeS

F u

That’s all you got crazy lady? If the shoe fits…you and the MAGAs you hate so much are different sides of the same coin. You’re all pathetic and the reason this country is a dumpster fire.

Good grief. You are twisting yourself to make excuses for this idiot.

He has not denied any of it. Because everything written is accurate.

DP. The predictable partisanship has come out from both sides, but the bottom line is that Jay Jones lacks the judgment and character to be elected as AG.

I'm planning to split my ticket and hoping this dope and the Democrats who come to his aid for reasons that are easily understood yet also indefensible aren't going to tank the campaigns of Spanberger and Hashmi.

Most of the volunteers out there no longer want to vote for him after this, but we are somewhat stuck by the process.

And this is how we have Trump.

Grow TF up and eject MAGA.

Look, I will do whatever I can to get rid of miyares. He isn’t an option to me. Not voting is not an option to me. But the Dems have got to do whatever we can to dump Jones. I don’t think dropping from the ticket this late in the game is feasible. We have to find a strategy and find it fast. That was the closest primary, correct?

Jones is anything but perfect, and the lack of adequate vetting of potential candidates by the Democrats is a real problem. You should be lucky Miyares is the only GOP candidate I’ll support this cycle given some of the pathetic circling of the wagons we’re seeing.

This thread is very disheartening. This man wished two bullets in the head of his political opponent and hoped that his children might die in their mother's arms because "Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy." There is no context. He admitted that he said these things and apologized in a televised interview. But apology aside, we know now that is what he believes. He is a morally bankrupt person and has zero judgement. He cannot be the AG.

I don't see how any good person can cast a vote for Jay Jones after knowing this about him. Irrespective of his opponent. We can't support advocates of political assassination because we don't like Trump.
