Republican Virginia gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears quickly called on Jones to drop out of the race on Friday, linking him with his ‘running mate’ Spanberger.
Virginia Democrat Attorney General candidate and former Del. Jay Jones fantasized in conversations with a former colleague about assassinating then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, and “wished” death upon Gilbert’s children, a new report revealed Friday.
The news comes after Republican state House Del. Kim Taylor, who is running for reelection in Virginia, said she received a death threat last week after Virginia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger told her supporters to “let your rage fuel you.”
That kind of rhetoric has long been deployed by the assassination left to pre-justify and inspire violence against their political opponents. Pointing to left-wing violence like the assassination attempts of President Donald Trump, or the assassination of Charlie Kirk, or the attempted assassination of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Taylor noted, “violent rhetoric is not harmless–it puts real people in real danger.”
While Taylor said Spanberger tried to walk back her comments, the National Review revealed that Jones sent some dark text messages to a Republican legislator, Del.

At the time, lawmakers like Gilbert and other Republicans were honoring the legacy of the recently passed former Del. Joe Johnson, Jr., a moderate Democrat. Jones expressed disdain for Johnson’s being a moderate, according to the outlet, and started making bizarre statements about how he might be eulogized by the Republican delegates upon his own death.

What a horrible human being
Now, can someone actually fund Winsome and Miyares so they can buy some TV ads??
The ‘killing off the blood line’ thing comes up a lot with Democrats. Kim Jong Un is a big proponent of this.
I voted for Winsome today.
Just another cousin of Obeyme.
Good for you.
Just like Adolf Hitler.
I’ve tried three times to donate $50 to her campaign via her WinRed site and it would not take the donation. It’s frustrating to want to give but be denied because of technical limitations.

🤯😧😲😳
What a nice guy....
Apparently...
If I lived there, I’d vote for her too.
Contemporary politics seems to be attracting a whole new breed of sociopath and scumbag. Lock him up. Get him help. Maybe have him exorcized.
True but it really looks like the Dems will have a night of slobbering triumph with victories in NJ, Virginia and elsewhere.
The voters are not only dumb, they are evil.
Selling out the US to the Commies and trashy Dems.
They are beneath my contempt.
If someone sends you text messages threatening to kill you, can’t you kill them first? Asking for a friend.
It isn’t just fringe internet nobodies who are saying this stuff. It’s prominent left-wingers — politicians, academics, bureaucrats.
Spanberger is a deep state swamp creature who is aspiring for even higher office. She is the ticket to the CIA getting back in control of the White House.
He’s insane, and so are those who support him or who would vote for this psychopath.
This boy looks like he would make a great dumb sidekick for Jimmy Kimmel.
