When discussing the story of a Democratic Virginia attorney general candidate who fantasized about murdering a state GOP leader, we have to understand the reasons why this is happening.
There are these gigantic thought structures that have been created and perpetuated generationally by the Left that say it is perfectly okay to talk about murdering your political opponents because they are your political opponents.
According to The Daily Wire:
Democrat Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, in recently uncovered text messages, fantasized about murdering a state GOP leader with “two bullets to the head” and “piss[ing]” on the graves of other Republicans.
In text messages obtained first by National Review, Jones says to another lawmaker that he would use two bullets to murder then-GOP House Speaker Todd Gilbert.
“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” Jones texted to Del. Carrie Coyner (R). “Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time.” Earlier in the text messages, Jones expressed that he would attend the funerals of Republican lawmakers in Virginia “to piss on their graves. … Send them out awash in something.”
What apparently ticked him off at the time was that the Republican House Speaker, Todd Gilbert, attended the funeral of Democrat Delegate Joe Johnson, who passed away at the age of 90, and Gilbert said nice things about his late colleague. And this, of course, is what made Jones, the Democratic Virginia AG candidate, very, very angry.
A follow-up message from Jones confirmed not only that he wanted to kill Gilbert, but also that he would like Gilbert’s children to die.
The Republican state delegate wrote, “You weren’t simply asking questions and you know it.”
Jones wrote back, “I genuinely was. I wasn’t attacking you, I was trying to understand your logic.”
The Republican delegate: “You weren’t trying to understand. You were talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert’s children would die.”
Jones: “Yes. I’ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”
The Republican delegate: “I point blank asked you more than three times and you dug in that you meant it. I honestly am questioning a lot today.”
Jones: “I mean do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil and that they are breeding little fascists? Yes.”
This is all being revealed in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and it is insane.
Winsome Earle-Sears, who is running for governor of Virginia and is currently lieutenant governor under Glenn Youngkin, put out a statement calling for the resignation of Jay Jones.
She wrote:
This is horrible to read and should be wholly disqualifying of someone running for an office that protects the people of Virginia.
Jay Jones’ horrific comments are a symptom of the entire Democratic Party and his running mate, Abigail Spanberger, needs to call on him to drop out.
Attorney General Jason Miyares has served the people of Virginia with honor and dignity, and will continue to do so come November.
Jay Jones can never be Attorney General of Virginia.
Now, the way the mainstream media have covered this is quite wild and also totally insane.
First, they claim these are mere allegations that Jay Jones wanted to kill his political opponent.
These aren’t allegations. He literally said it.
If you text someone and then you confirm over and over again that you mean a thing, and then you say that children should die because they’re “little fascists,” at a certain point, don’t we have to take you at your word?
POLITICO reported the story in the following manner, and it really demonstrates the madness of the legacy media:
A string of text messages from Jay Jones, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for attorney general, where he mused about violence directed toward a political rival is triggering widespread backlash and threatening to shake up the state’s November election.
And this is how it always works with the legacy media. If Democrats do a bad thing, the story is, “Republicans pounce.” If Republicans do a bad thing, the story is “Republicans did a bad thing.”
I love the language that POLITICO used about how Jay Jones “mused about violence.”
He was just musing. You know, it’s what you do when you call for someone’s murder.
It’s just musing about what would happen if something really bad were to happen to them.
Pretty incredible. There’s no apology either. And so when we say the legacy media and Left have a soft spot in their hearts for murder and terrorism, it appears that there is a lot of truth to that statement.
