I don’t live in VA so I don’t know what else Jones has said or done but my spidey senses tell me these comments are not one-offs. He’s probably an all-around weirdo. How people like this get ahead in politics is beyond me.</>And I say that as a Commiefornian.
He needs to drop out of the human race.
He’ll stay in, and maybe even win if Spamburger does.
None of the Dims in Virginia have told him to drop out. The entire Dim congressional delegation has either kept quiet or openly backed him. Neither of the Dims running for governor or lt. governor have asked him to quit, and only one Dim in the state legislature has criticized him.
The article does not address the following:
1. Early voting has been going on for three weeks. If he pulls out, that cedes the election to the Republican for AG.
2. There is no mechanism to replace him on the ballots that have already been printed up.
3. There is no Demo of standing who will want to take his place on the ballot in a race he cannot possibly win.
4. Donald Trump told him to get out. Well, who wants to cave in to Trump on ANYthing?
5. Spanberger has not really distanced herself from him.
All he can do is hope few people notice, and fewer care. Keep a low profile so his enemies don’t have an opportunity for a “new” story on him.
Frank Lautenberg, call your office!
Ok, admittedly he’s been dead twelve years, but no one knows any more about last minute substitution than he. If dead democrats can vote, why can’t they run for office, too?
Jay Jones, isn’t even his real name for krikes sake!
Jerrauld Charles Corey.
I don’t think the Democrats are really paying attention to their nationwide brand right now.
They are in so much pain from the 2024 election losses. Crazy- looking protesters are on the TV every day. Their party leaders look both weak and foolish at the same time.
Democrats think that they have a dependable base that will come through in the end if they can stand tall and act tough.
They want and need a win so bad that they can’t do anything that might damage even one candidate in one AG election.
It all rests on Spanberger. If she wavers, personally or because of consultant pressure, Jones goes. Otherwise, he stays.
A lot depends on whether Spanberger thinks Winsome-Sears can score points in the upcoming debate. Spanberger was planning to seal the deal there. Spanberger may decide that Winsome-Sears isn’t a real threat, and Jones can hang on.
He’s a Democrat. Dropping out over this would be hypocritical.
They've already done that themselves. The continued support by Scamburger and others for Jones has all but assured that outcome.
Like the Maryland Dad and George Floyd, the Dems can make a heroic martyr out of this jerk.
“Freedom of speech and expression torn away from him as he tried to give his life over to public service as Attorney General.”
Van Hollen: “I bought drinks for him to cheer him up. I can tell you he is the nicest, Kindest, gentlest warmest guy around and he never said one word about violence as his detractors claim.”
As usual, someone out there, maybe a trans type, maybe a disturbed youth with thousands of hours of violent video games behind him, will try to save two rounds for killing someone in the GOP to be like their hero Jay Jones.
Inciting to violence.

Northam was mid-term in 2019 when a college yearbook photo showed either him or the person next to him wearing blackface at a costume party. The other person was dressed in a KKK costume. Northam denied that he was either of the people in the photo, after admitting that he was one of the people in the photo the day before.
Calls for Northam to resign began, including from his Attorney General Mark Herring and the state's Senator Tim Kaine. However, a few days after calling on Northam to resign, Herring himself was forced to admit that he, too, dressed in blackface while in college. This shocked the Virginia Democrats, and they at first were frozen in inaction regarding how to react to both the Governor and Attorney General admitting that they wore blackface in college.
While thesse scandals were brewing, Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax was preparing for Northam to resign and ascending to the Governor's position when he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman, Vanessa C. Tyson, an associate professor at Scripps College and fellow at Stanford University, a hotel at the 2004 Democratic National Convention in Boston. Fairfax denide the sexual assault, but not the sex. He said it was consentual and that he was being targeted as a black man about to become Governor of Virginia.
However, five days later a second woman came forward, Meredith Watson, claiming that Fairfax raped her in 2000 when they were both students at Duke University. Calls for Fairfax to resign began.
Now, this is where the hardball Democrat Party politics came into play. The line of succession in Virginia is Governor -> Lt. Governor -> Attorney General -> Speaker of the House. At the time, the Speaker was Kirk Cox, a Republican. If Ralph Northam, Justin Fairfax, and Mark Herring all resigned over these scandals, a Republican would become Governor just as the 2020 primary season was beginning. This was unacceptable.
Therefore, nobody resigned, everybody toughed it out, and nobody took responsibility for anything. Northam was term-limited, Herring ran for reelection and lost to Republican challenger Jason Miyares, and Fairfax ran for Governor and lost to Terry McAuliffe.
Now we see the same dynamics again: Jay Jones finds himself in the position of toughing it out or resigning and handing the AG office to a Republican, but this time Kaine is defending him. What will Jones do?
What WILL he do?

Aren’t conservatives the one who want to end qualified immunity? Isn’t Clarence Thomas the Supreme Court justice who is always swiping at it?
Supposedly a bunch other similar comments are about to be made public. Who knows, personally, I hope he doesn’t drop out of the race, I think it’s better for the Republican if he stays in the race and more of his comments become public, he will have to answer for the comments along with all the other Democrats running for office in Virginia, the idea that Democrats are pro-illegal immigrant, anti-cop while supporting an agenda of crime needs to be front and center, this guy is the poster child for their agenda.
