A Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate’s campaign is doomed after leaked texts exposed his alarming calls for violence against Republicans.
The “tolerant” Left’s seemingly never-ending supply of violent rhetoric has continued to play out at every level over the past year, and especially over the past month.
According to Fox News, Virginia Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones once made a shocking remark involving shooting the state’s GOP House speaker.
The disturbing texts were revealed this week and were obtained by Fox News Digital.
They show that the “politics of rage” is a real thing on the Left, and it’s not only dangerous, but life-threatening.
The texts, which were between Jones and Del. Carrie Coyner (R-Chester), were referencing the death of Del. Joe Johnson (D-Bristol) at age 90.
Jones’s texts were absolutely disgusting and disrespectful.
Fox News noted:
“At the time, several House Republicans — including leadership — offered eulogizing words for Johnson, who had been known as an aisle-crossing, friendly moderate.
“One of those who had kind words for Johnson was then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah.”
Jones apparently wasn’t happy with the late Democrat delegate’s ability to cross the political aisle and actually do what’s right for the people of the state.
He told Coyner in a text that Johnson “leaked everything to your [Republican] caucus.
“It’s why Gilbert gave him such a glowing tribute.”
“If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves,” Jones continued.
“Send them out awash in something.”
Fox News added that Coyner appeared to attempt to rein in the conversation, texting, “Jay Jones.”
However, Jones continued the rant, adding:
“Three people, two bullets.
“Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”
“Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones continued.
Coyner had tried to get Jones to stop with the rhetoric several times, finally texting back, “Jay. Please stop.”
According to the outlet, it was then that Jones made a phone call to Coyner, reportedly to lighten the mood after the nasty texts regarding putting bullets in the men he referenced.
Coyner’s spokesperson confirmed the texts and clearly knew to distance themselves from Jones as a result.
“Jay Jones wished violence on the children of a colleague and joked about shooting Todd Gilbert,” the spokesperson said.
“It’s disgusting and unbecoming of any public official.”
