Virginia Democratic AG Candidate Arrested in 2023 for Driving 116 MPH on I-64

[Anonymous]

When he actually kills someone, let us know.

I would never vote for a Maga Trump lover.

I don’t think most normal Republicans across the country have understood the gravity of the Virginia situation yet

If the Democrat candidate for Attorney General (@jonesjay) 1) stays in the race and 2) wins

AFTER being exposed for texting about putting “bullets” in the head of his Republican rival, and wishing death on literal kids just because are they have Republican parents…

Then the Democrats know that not only are there no repercussions for their violence and incitement…

But that they will actually be rewarded for it

The fact that the VA Democrats haven’t called on Jay Jones to drop out yet is a true mask drop moment

When Trump got exposed for some “locker room” talk in 2016, almost every major national Republican figure called on him to drop out!

But when a Democrat candidate for state-wide office in a major state is caught fantasizing about murder, and after Charlie Kirk, and they aren’t asked to bow out…

It tells you Democrats are totally on board with political violence. Period. Forever.

If they won’t hold their own accountable (and they won’t) then our only recourse is to beat them at the ballot box again and again.

We must crush the Left—before they kill us.

And own it if you are ok with MAGA. No one is forcing you. There is a better option.

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.

What tone do you need to not think these texts are horrific?

He could get arrested, convicted and be in prison, and dems will still elect him. This party celebrates violence. I actually expect him to move up in the polls.

I voted for miyares four years ago and will be voting for jones. I don’t care for all the sucking up to trump that miyares is doing, and while I think the texts were in poor taste, I understand the difference between a tasteless joke in a private text and actually perpetrating political violence like what happened on January 6.

This is 100% what I came here to say. And my diehard Republican dad has finally seen the light also - regrets his R votes, including and especially for Trump, and has said he won’t for another R at any level until all MAGA are out of office and they’ve “come to their senses”. Penciling in the bubble next to Jones is the first step. Don’t waste it.

Well I am going to waste it, on a republican. I can understand jokes in poor taste, but come on, what he said about killing a child too? How is that ever a joke? What the heck do people need to see that a person like this should never hold any sort of public office. I feel like anyone who would vote for him after all this condones violence and that is NOT the world I want to promote, especially in VA where my family is. If someone made a joke like that about one of my kids, they should be arrested or have some sort of consequences. It is not a joke.

Justify it however you want. We know the truth.

I just find these fantasy Dems in the heads of Rs hysterical, as they are in no way based in reality.

We watched you elect a Felon and adjudicated rapist President - gtfo with your nonsense about accountability

Dems cancelled Franken for a dang picture.

Many of us out here are hoping a solution is found here quickly. I now don’t want to vote for Jones, but Miyares has to go. If that means voting for Jones with the understanding he steps down, so be it.

And, please remember what "triggered" Jones to say all of this:

Todd Gilbert had given a nice eulogy to a Democrat. This was the trigger that caused Jones to go after him with such vitriol.

Troubling.

Dems see nothing wrong with this. That’s why they’re doubling down on him. Sadly, violence has become not only acceptable but welcome if it achieves their objectives. Don’t waste your breath trying to appeal to morality.

Shooting people twice in the head is not a normal thing people fantasize about doing, and posting it on social media.

Jay Jones needs to withdraw from the race for Virginia AG, since he’s proven himself unfit to serve. He clearly has issue, going way beyond his extreme reckless driving conviction.

+1. I can't take another four years of Miyares obsessing about what bathrooms people use. Really regret voting for him the first time, won't make the mistake again. Jones has my vote.

Republicans see nothing wrong with pedophilia and sexual assault. They doubled down on our current President despite (or because of?) his past here. If you cast your vote for him, that's the shame you need to forever live with. If these texts were from a Republican candidate, the candidate would just call it "fake news" and carry on.

Whataboutism. Cool. I’ll vote for something horrific because you voted for something that was trumped up as horrific, even though never proven, and was a campaign promise to get Trump…but it destroys your argument that you are superior people if you’re only doing something because the people who you call nazi’s did it first. Lol.
