Virginia’s Democratic nominee for attorney general faced bipartisan backlash Friday night after text messages from 2022 surfaced in which he suggested the top Republican in the state House of Delegates “gets two bullets to the head.”

The messages by Jay Jones, who did not hold elected office at the time, were directed at then-speaker of the House Todd Gilbert.

Sorry, That’s DEMOCRAT NOMINEE

[JaguarXKE]

Us conservatives really do need to tone down the rhetoric don’t we?

[brownsfan]

Just gaining credibility with the Dem establishment.

[Deo volente]

They want us all dead. It’s come down to that.

[ClearCase_guy]

It’s what the Democrat base wants to hear.

Who were the text message recipients and what were their replies? That’s even more important.

I keep waiting for the lazy VAGOPe to dig up dirt on the muslim Dim running for Lt. Gov. I’m sure she supports the baby-killing Palis.

Spamburger gave this dork a tongue-lashing, the dork apologized, and that will be the end of this.

I read the one Recipients reply, but I’m sure that’s not where it ended.

From WJLA DC:

“ New screenshots emerged this week of text messages reportedly sent by Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones in 2022 that wished violence against then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert.
…
“ Jones, a former House delegate representing the Norfolk region, had already resigned from his seat at the time the texts were sent. Screenshots showed him talking about shooting Gilbert, and messages in the chat implied a previous conversation that suggested Jones had made negative comments about Gilbert’s children.

“Three people, two bullets... Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot.... Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” the messages from Jones read. The message recipient pleaded for Jones to stop.”

“ The texts were made the same year Jones had been charged with reckless driving in Kent County, Virginia, according to reports.”

The Democrat Party has always been the party of violence: the party of the Trail of Tears, slavery, the ku klux klan, etc.

And they try to project it onto us?! It’s obviously not working!

They want us all dead. It’s come down to that.

And some say the quiet part out loud, like this person.

The messages by Jay Jones, who did not hold elected office at the time

Oh, well then, no harm no foul, eh? I’m sure that once elected, his attitude changed completely.

Funny how the Democrats rely on violence to force people to their point of view. NEWSFLASH: If you really have a good idea, people will voluntarily accept your position. The fact that you resort to violence kinda tells me your ideas suck.

He is in serious deep kimchi and Spamberger is next on the list!
