Democrats ignored years of vile texts, threats, and reckless behavior — all to protect one of their own. Virginians deserve better.
Jay Jones, the Democrats' nominee for Virginia attorney general, has become a general travesty. Disqualified by his own words and actions, he keeps running while Democrats refuse to call him off. Apparently, they still think he deserves the office.

On Aug. 8, 2022, Jones, who had recently resigned from the Virginia House of Delegates after representing Norfolk, texted Republican state delegate Carrie Coyner about tributes to former legislator Joe Johnson Jr. One tribute came from then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert. Jones dismissed Johnson's centrism and Gilbert's praise with crude contempt. His texts quickly turned menacing.

Jones called Gilbert "that POS." He wrote, "If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves." He added that if he could shoot Hitler, Pol Pot, and Gilbert but had only two bullets, Gilbert would get "two bullets to the head" — "every time," he said.

He accused Gilbert and his wife, Jennifer, of "breeding little fascists" and wished that Gilbert's children would "die in their mother's arms." Coyner urged him to stop. He should have heeded her advice.

The left in the US are so intolerant and violent.
