Virginia Democrat Jay Jones touts Catholicism on campaign trail amid falling poll numbers
Catholic Vote ^ | October 22, 2025

Posted on 10/26/2025 6:43:26 AM PDT by PJ-Comix

Facing dismal polling odds two weeks after the publication of his murderous texts from 2022, Democratic Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones met with pastors Oct. 22 and touted his self-proclaimed status as a Catholic.

“It was an honor to meet with pastors from across Hampton Roads this morning,” Jones posted on X. “As a Catholic, I’ve always drawn strength from faith and community — the same values that guide me in this campaign and in service.”

As reported by Newsweek Oct. 21, a Virginia Commonwealth University poll released that day found incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican, leading with 45% of the vote to Jones’ 42%. The same poll found Jones leading Miyares 47% to 41% in September.

This is pretty funny when you think about it. Gee! I wonder when was the last time Jones went to church to actually worship (not to politick)?

You could teach him how to cook a way of dealing with his anger issues.

I wonder how long it took him to drive down I-64 to Hampton Roads this time.

His record is 116 mph…

He’s a fake Catholic and Christian for that matter. I’ll bet he’s against abortion personally but it’s a women’s choice. Like the walrus eating the clams.

It’s surprising that pastors would allow themselves to be used for political purposes.

Did Jones tell them the purpose of his visit?

It seems quite a few of the devilish Dems are ‘Catholics’ with some even claiming to be ‘devout’ (Pelosi, Biden to name but 2) & now Jones claiming to be Catholic. Race card not saving him so it’s time to pull out the religion card! LOL!

The Miyares victory speech should not thank all those who worked to get him elected-only his wife perhaps. The rest of it should be a total condemnation of his opponent with an “I’m just getting started” as it goes on. He can then end it with an “I’m ashamed of you” to those who voted for him. It’s generally taboo but it’s not name calling.

He can justify his comments by saying he never wished for anyones kids to be murdered.

The really sad thing is that there are some truly ignorant people who will believe him and vote for him.

Another Cafeteria Catholic; someone who picks and chooses which ‘appetizer’ or belief he will adhere to, vs accepting the whole menu as is.

I think that Sears only hope is that more blacks will vote for her than the Alpha Karen Spamburger. That might balance out the AWFUL vote here in Northern Virginia.
