Virginia Democrat AG Candidate Faces Backlash Over Violent Texts
Democratic Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones has come under fire after leaked 2022 text messages revealed him fantasizing about killing Republican politician Todd Gilbert and wishing harm on Gilbert's children. Jones apologized for the remarks, calling them disturbing and taking full responsibility, but refused to drop out of the race against incumbent Republican Jason Miyares. The controversy has drawn condemnation from Republican figures, including Vice President J.D. Vance, who labeled Jones "very deranged" and urged his withdrawal. Jones's past actions also include calling for the termination of a police officer who supported Kyle Rittenhouse, further fueling criticism. The incident has sparked debate about political rhetoric and violence, with Republicans blaming left-leaning activists for escalating tensions, while Democrats point to President Donald Trump and Republicans as contributing factors. Meanwhile, some commentators have noted a perceived media double standard in the coverage of such inflammatory statements depending on the political affiliation of the individual involved.
