[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Jones was never vetted? How did he get on the ballot? Has he always been a loose cannon, or is this reckless behavior only recent? [/quote]
He won a really close primary over the Commonwealth’s Attorney for Henrico County who clearly needed better oppo research. The texts wouldn’t have leaked - clearly the Republican who received them was more interested in waiting until the last minute to help Miyares - but the reckless driving was out there. Jones is a young nepo baby who has no experience as a prosecutor.

Reminds me of Andrew Gillum winning over Gwen Graham. [/quote]

The description of Jones as a nepo baby is spot on.  He's the spoiled child of two well connected Black judges in Tidewater.  He's had everything handed to him on a silver platter, and he's behaved like a teenager his entire life.

He doesn't really wish harm on Todd Gilbert or his family; it's just how an immature brat who spends too much time online talks.  It's not that he's violent so much as that he's completely and utterly unqualified for AG.  The people who defend him know this; they simply don't want to offend his parents and other Black Democratic leaders from the Hampton Roads area.

Unfortunately for the VA Democrats, people are watching and unless the Democrats cut him loose this cycle they are going to flip their votes for other races to punish the Democrats for their indulgence of Jones. Yes, it's going to help Miyares run for Governor in 2029, but Jones is simply unfit. [/quote]
