Last week, Virginians across the political spectrum were shocked to read text messagesfromDemocratic attorney general nomineeJayJonesfantasizing about murdering a former Republican colleague and wishing deathonhis children. But this is just the start of Virginia Democrats disturbing embrace of political violence.AsNational Reviewfirstreported, in 2022, just after resigningfromthe House of Delegates,Jonessent a disturbing string of text messages to another legislator stating that if his Republican colleagues died before him, he would "go to their funerals to p---ontheir graves."Jonesthen stated that if he had "two bullets" and was faced with the prospect of shooting Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler and former Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert, "Gilbert gets two bullets to the head."Jonesnext called Gilbert and his wife "evil," stated that they were "breeding little fascists," and wished deathontheir children.Jonesspecifically stated that he hoped Gilberts children would die in their mothers arms.FIVE WAYS THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CAN SAVE THE AMERICAN DREAM AND PREVENT SOCIALISMAll of these comments are repulsive, disgusting and totally disqualifying for anyone who seeks public office.JayJoneswants Virginians to trust him to protect them as the commonwealths top cop, but it is abundantly clear that he harbors intense, violent malice toward anyone who disagrees with him. There can be no doubt thatJoneswould weaponize his office against his political opponents. There would be no fair and unbiased pursuit of justice under an Attorney GeneralJayJones.When pressedonhis past remarks,Jonesoutrageouslyclaimedthathewas the real victim, accusing Attorney General Jason Miyares of "dropping smears through Trump-controlled media organizations." No remorse. No apology. Just more hatred and vitriol.THE BELTWAY BUBBLE LEADS DEMOCRATS OFF A POLITICAL CLIFFEqually shocking has been the lack of calls forJonesto drop out of the race. In 2019, leading Virginia Democrats, including Abigail Spanberger, Mark Warner, Tim Kaine and Terry McAuliffe, all calledonDemocrat Gov. Ralph Northam to resign over a decades-old yearbook photo showing him in a racist costume.But now Spanbergeronlysaysthat she "spoke frankly" withJonesafter he repeatedly and explicitly wished deathonhis political opponents and their children. She has not rescinded her enthusiastic endorsement ofJones, and she has not calledonhim to drop out of the race.Heres what Virginians want to know: How can Abigail Spanberger claim that she opposes political violence when she tolerates itfromthe candidates she shares a ticket with? Would Spanberger hire someone who has made comments like thoseJonesmade in her administration? How can anyone trust her to lead when she doesnt even have the courage to callonJonesto withdraw?HERE'S HOW WE CAN DELIVER CONSERVATIVE WELFARE REFORMEvery Virginia Democrat should state, clearly, whether they believeJayJonesshould drop out.Unfortunately, Abigail Spanberger is part of Virginia Democrats violence problem. During multiple recent campaign stops, Spanberger calledonher supporters to "let your rage fuel you." When criticized over these comments, Spanberger refused to back down even as multiple Virginia Republicans had faced credible death threats.Just days beforeJones texts became public, a man wasarrestedfor threatening the life of Del. Kim Taylor, a Petersburg Republican. Prior to that, Del. Geary Higgins of Lovettsville wastexteda death threat in which an individual threatened to shoot Higgins at his next rally.These developments also come after the disgusting reactionfrommany Virginia Democrats to the killing of Charlie Kirk last month.PORTLAND'S DYSTOPIA DELUSION COMING TO A CITY NEAR ALL OF USIn the immediate wake of that shooting, Democrat Chesterfield County School BoardChairDot Heffron who has been endorsed by both Spanberger and Democrat lieutenant governor nominee Ghazala Hashmi posted, "Call me old fashioned, but I remember when we used to be ok with shooting Nazis." Jasmine Frye, identified as an employee of Spanbergers campaign,posted"F around and find out" in response to Kirks assassination.Meanwhile, the finance director for a Virginia Democrat PAC wasexposedfor mocking those upset at Kirks death and reposting claims that his killing was "objectively funny." In another case, Katie Pillis, Virginia Democrat Sen. Mark Warners casework operations coordinator,postedmocking remarksonInstagram about Kirk being shot.Spanberger and Virginia Democrats want us to ignore all of these incidents as isolated outbursts. But the pattern is undeniable.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThis is not just aboutJayJones. It is about a Democrat Party in Virginia that has grown comfortable excusing, rationalizing and even promoting political violence and murder. When their candidates joke about killing Republicans, when their operatives laugh at assassinations, when their leaders tell supporters to let "rage" guide them, what they are really doing is laying the groundwork for more threats, more intimidation and more bloodshed.Virginians should not tolerate it. We cannot hand over the keys of government to a party that shrugs at violence against its opponents. If Democrats will not draw a line, then voters must.
