Jay Jones overcomes mounting scandals to defeat Jason Miyares for Virginia attorney general
Fox News ^ | 11/04/25 | Charles Creitz

The Fox News Decision Desk has projected that Democrat Jay Jones will become the next attorney general of Virginia.

Jones overcame weeks of burgeoning scandals, and voters looked past them to pick the Norfolk Democrat over incumbent Republican Jason Miyares, who burnished his record of going after drug companies, gangbangers and traffickers.

Jones, the son of longtime Norfolk delegate Jerrauld Jones and a former Biden Justice Department staffer, beat back dueling scandals over a 116 mph reckless driving arrest featuring scrutinized affidavits of 1,000 community service hours sworn to by his own political action committee and the NAACP of Virginia.

A recent Fox News Digital freedom of information request failed to produce records from New Kent County prosecutors. The office returned a notification that it could not be produced due to a Virginia State Code listing the records as part of a criminal investigation.

Jones also faced scrutiny for texting Del. Carrie Coyner, R-Hopewell, that he would prefer former House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah, to be shot twice in the head rather than any bullets be saved for former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler or Cambodian leader Pol Pot.

At his debate with Miyares at the University of Richmond, Jones notably name-checked or referenced President Donald Trump about 50 times, painting the Republican as more interested in defending the White House than the Commonwealth of Virginia.

I had a feeling my faith in my fellow man was unfounded. This confirms it.

This is not some sort of referendum on Donald Trump. Or any of the policies for which we elected him.

These are heavily blue States and a republican win would have been next to miraculous. What this is, is a statement by Rank and file Democrat voters making it clear that they have no sense of morality and they worship their ideology over any sort of morality and Humanity.

What it is and should be is a message to rank and file Republicans to get off their lazy asses in 2026. Any conservative or even moderate who can’t bring himself to vote in every election that he is allowed to vote deserves just the government he gets and the ass reaming that comes with it. Any conservative or republican that doesn’t vote is no better than a Democrat in my book because they are screwing the rest of us.

The people of Virginia are apparently a steaming pile of hot progressive mess. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Charlie’s murder was already the tipping point. We will just have to see how bad this all gets. Stay prepared. Thank God the military is in the hands of a Nationalist for now.

My faith is in God and His Son, never my fellow man…..confidence or trust, maybe, but never faith.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Only the 53% that voted for Jay "Two Bullets to the Head" Jones (D), not the other 47% that voted Republican!

Can you ever imagine having as the chief law enforcer of your state someone who would gladly put bullets in the head of his political opponents and their kids?

“I’ll kill your children” is the Democrat mantra. Virginia voters are psychotic.

He should have his law license pulled. Given his words about killing someone should file an ethics complaint with the BAR.
