The razor-thin margins in the upcoming Virginia elections have gotten even closer after resurfaced texts from Virginia Democratic AG candidate Jay Jones, wishing death on Republican rival Todd Gilbert’s children and suggesting he “gets two bullets to the head,” which has ignited massive outrage.
For context, while Jones apologized, calling the remarks “embarrassing and shameful” and taking “full accountability,” he refused to drop out of the race. Reacting to these comments, Republicans such as AG Jason Miyares have slammed the absurd remarks.
In any case, Jason Miyares, who has received a full endorsement from President Trump, slammed the text messages. “Jay Jones has shown he’s reckless, biased, and willing to trade away his integrity… This conduct is disqualifying,” the Republican noted,
Building on this point, Miyares declared, “If you believe it is okay to wish death upon a political opponent — vote for my opponent… If you believe it is worth the death of children to advance your political goals — vote for my opponent. If you want to give a green light to violent lunatics — vote for my opponent. I cannot imagine someone running for this job who advocates for violence.”
Building on this point, Winsome Earle-Sears, the current Lieutenant Governor who’s running for the Governor’s office this year, added her own condemnation. “The enemy is among us, devouring us in Virginia and in America today… Jay Jones fantasizes about murdered little children lying lifeless in their mother’s arms. And yet he runs for attorney general, our chief law enforcement officer,” she explained.
Adding to her previous comments in a speech, Earle-Sears slammed the Democrats, saying, “The leadership of the Democrat Party is inciting violence as a strategy to win power.” This comment came in direct response to a remark from her opponent, Abigail Spanberger, who urged her supporters to “let your rage fill you.”
Continuing her demolition, the conservative blasted Spanberger. “Well, words have meaning… Rage is defined as violent, uncontrolled anger. The unstable pull the triggers… but they are inspired by the hate tolerated and encouraged by the leadership of the Democrat Party.”

Pulling from her own life experience, she declared, “As an immigrant, I have seen what happens when leftists destroy the foundations of freedom… Let each of us act to protect our beloved Commonwealth of Virginia and the gift from God that is the United States of America.”
Adding his reaction to these events, President Trump went to Truth Social to explain his feelings. “It has just come out that the Radical Left Lunatic, Jay Jones, who is running against Jason Miyares, the GREAT Attorney General in Virginia, made SICK and DEMENTED jokes, if they were jokes at all, which were not funny, and that he wrote down and sent around to people, concerning the murdering of a Republican Legislator, his wife, and their children,” the president stated.
Concluding his hilarious comments, Trump continued, saying, “Abigail Spanberger, who is running for Governor, is weak and ineffective, and refuses to acknowledge what this Lunatic has done. Even Democrats are saying it is “RESIGNATION FROM CAMPAIGN” TERRITORY. Democrat Jay Jones should drop out of the Race, IMMEDIATELY, and the People of Virginia must continue to have a GREAT Attorney General in Jason Miyares who, by the way, has my Complete and Total Endorsement — JASON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!”
