Way to go, Virginia.
Virginians elected Democrat Jay Jones as attorney general Tuesday, despite the release of text messages in which he fantasized about murdering Republican lawmakers and their children.
Those messages were not enough to dissuade Virginians from tapping Jones as the commonwealth’s top cop.
Decision Desk HQ projected Jones had defeated incumbent Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares just over an hour after the polls closed.
In the August 2022 texts, Jones wrote about hypothetically shooting then–Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert in messages to Republican state delegate Carrie Coyner.
“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot,” Jones wrote, National Review first reported. “Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”
Coyner replied, “Jay. Please stop.”
The texts also included a line in which Jones said the children of his political rivals should die.
Jones never denied sending the texts, and he declined to apologize.
His messages surfaced just weeks after the political assassination of Charlie Kirk.
At one point, he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views, prompting Coyner to hang up the phone in disgust.
No one does hate like the left.
The Left engages in some of the worst hate speech, violence, and threats on record.
