Jay Jones’ Dangerous Rhetoric and the Democrats’ Hypocrisy

The United States is witnessing one of the darkest chapters in its political history — an era where hate speech and ideological intolerance have become the new normal. What used to be a nation of robust debate and respect for differing opinions has descended into a toxic environment of open hostility. Americans now despise each other over political and cultural differences, and disturbingly, many make no apologies for it.

In the current political action, we have seen citizens wish death upon one another simply because of how they vote or what they believe. The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk should have been a moment of national reflection. Instead, Democrats have continued to fan the flames of division with their reckless rhetoric — calling President Donald Trump a “Nazi” or “Hitler,” and branding his supporters as “enemies of America.” Words have consequences, and when leaders use dehumanizing language, they normalize political violence, whether they admit it or not.

A recent revelation about Democratic candidate for Virginia Attorney General, Jay Jones, exposes the hypocrisy within the left. In a 2022 text exchange with Delegate Carrie Coyner, Jones reportedly made shocking comments advocating violence against then–House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his family. He allegedly said that if given two bullets and forced to choose between shooting Speaker Gilbert, Hitler, or Pol Pot, “Speaker Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”

Jones went further, expressing hope that Gilbert’s children would die — reasoning that “only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” He described Gilbert and his wife as “evil” and accused them of “breeding little fascists.”

Despite these appalling remarks, the Democratic establishment continues to stand by Jones. Senator Tim Kaine downplayed the revelations, saying Jones had apologized and remains, in his view, “an upright man.” But how can anyone justify or excuse violent rhetoric from a public servant — especially one seeking to be the top law enforcement officer of a state?

This blind loyalty raises troubling questions. How many other Democrats in key political offices secretly harbor similar thoughts? How deep does this culture of hate and justification for violence run within the party that preaches “tolerance” and “unity”?

If the radical left truly cares about democracy and peace, it must begin by confronting its own hypocrisy. The same energy used to condemn “MAGA” must be applied inward — to hold accountable those who incite violence from within their own ranks.

Until that happens, America remains on a dangerous path — one where another conservative voice could be silenced, and where political violence becomes an accepted form of expression. If that day comes, there may be no turning back.

The Day Virginia Might Stop Being for Lovers

The real horror isn’t just what Jay Jones said — it’s how many Virginians will still vote for him after hearing it. 

Are Virginians really about to live in a state where the next attorney general could be Jay Jones, who believes it’s acceptable—even commendable—to murder your neighbor over political differences?

Not only that, might they also live under a newly elected governor who doesn’t seem to care?

That could be the future Virginia — my home, and the headquarters of the Christian Action Network, where I serve as president and founder.

But this isn’t just where I work; it’s where I now face a deadly threat from a political opponent who wants to kill me for our stand on God’s rainbow — that it represents His covenant of love with humanity, not a symbol for sexual deviancy.

That gut-punching threat reached my home as I sat quietly — and emotionally — watching Charlie Kirk’s memorial service at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

It was sad, nearly incomprehensible to absorb Erika Kirk’s loss.

At the same time, I was facing a message on my computer promising I could be next — something I was going to have to tell my wife and kids as they tearfully watched the memorial service.

I should be safe in Virginia, right? After all, “Virginia is for Lovers.”

But if this assassin has his way…and Jay Jones — the violent, hate-filled candidate running for Attorney General this November — wins…

…that slogan will ring as hollow as Biden’s promise to secure America’s borders.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Jay Jones believes it’s perfectly fine for Virginians to put a bullet in the head of their political rivals — and their children.

Yet he seems to have forgotten Virginia’s motto: “Sic Semper Tyrannis.”

It’s Latin for “Thus always to tyrants” — a warning that tyrannical leaders will be punished and overthrown.

If elected, every act of political violence in Virginia during his tenure will rest on his shoulders—including my own, if my would-be killer succeeds.

Jay Jones will own this carnage—every life snuffed out by the hatred he’s excused, every drop of blood spilled under his indifference. And so will his Democrat ally, Abigail Spanberger, if she becomes governor.

Her silence in the face of his violent threats makes her complicit—choosing party loyalty over common sense and moral decency.

During Friday’s debate, Winsome Earle-Sears demanded Spanberger condemn Jay Jones’s 2022 texts—mocking House Speaker Todd Gilbert’s children as ‘little fascists’ and wishing their murder to ‘change his politics’—asking, ‘Have you nothing to say about murder?’

Silence from Spanberger followed with a nearly emotionless, zombie-like stare. It’s not just Jones’s words wishing death on rivals and their children; it’s Spanberger’s refusal to call for his exit that betrays Virginia’s heart.

If she cannot bring herself to say the words every Virginian should be shouting—“Throw this bum out of the race!”—then her silence is endorsement.

This is all deeply worrisome, of course. It feels like a bad dream, a twisted work of science fiction, where hatred passes for politics and Virginia’s ‘lovers’ might have to live in fear.

But it’s all very real.

I know because when I shake my head, rub my eyes, and rise up in the morning—it’s still there. Haunting me.

And here’s something to consider — especially if you want to stay up late and deny your body the sleep it needs.

If you live in Virginia, when you wake up on November 5 and watch the vote totals, don’t just ask whether Jay Jones lost or won. Ask the question that really matters:

How many Virginians knowingly voted for a man who advocates the murder of political opponents — and their children?

Those people.

Those neighbors.

Those possible churchgoers, co-workers, cashiers, and smiling bank tellers…

…those people have no problem with you being murdered for your political views — or your children.

I know I’ll be counting them.

PODCAST: ‘Sick’ texts from Democratic AG candidate Jay Jones: ‘Gilbert gets two bullets to the head!’

Pressure is mounting on Virginia Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones to drop out of his race following leaked text messages in which he openly talks about violence directed toward former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R).

A chorus of Republicans in and out of Virginia are calling on Jones to drop out, including President Trump and Vice President Vance. The Republican gubernatorial nominee, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, quickly jumped on the news, rolling out an ad tying her opponent, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D), to Jones. Jones’s opponent, state Attorney General Jason Miyares (R), released his own ad on Monday, asking voters if they could trust Jones to protect their children.

Spanberger has distanced herself from the comments, saying in a statement that she conveyed her “disgust” to Jones over the texts. But she’s likely to face growing pressure over the development as Republicans use the story to attack her and other Democrats, arguing she isn’t going far enough by not calling on him to drop out.

“In October there’s not a lot of things that can actually cut through, this is one of them, both for the AG race, and then up the ballot and down the ballot,” said Zack Roday, a Virginia-based Republican strategist who formerly worked with Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s Spirit of Virginia PAC.

“This is going to motivate a whole lot of infrequent voters,” he continued. “And it absolutely will persuade people to second guess, like actual people, their priors. They very well may consider split ticket or changing where they’re going to vote.” “It’s also not very difficult to explain,” he added.

“Three people, two bullets,” Jones said in a text to House Delegate Carrie Coyner (R) about Gilbert. “Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot,” Jones wrote. “Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.” “Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones told Coyner. Coyner, in response, told Jones, who at the time did not hold an elected office, to stop.

The National Review also reported that in a follow-up conversation with Coyner, Jones suggested that he wished Gilbert’s wife could see her children die so that her husband would reconsider his political views on gun violence. Meanwhile, the controversy is threatening to grow. The Virginia Scope reported on Monday that Coyner recalled a 2020 phone call with Jones in which he said if a few police officers died, then maybe they would stop killing people. Jones denied making the comments, according to the outlet.

But Virginia Democrats are largely standing with Jones for now.

Trump Speaks Out Against Democratic AG Candidate After Disturbing Text Messages Revealed

President Donald Trump tore into Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones on Sunday after violent text messages from 2022 surfaced showing him fantasizing about assassinating a Republican state legislator.

Trump used Truth Social to blast Jones and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger, who refused to call for Jones to drop out of the race.

“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,” Trump wrote. “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 texts, sent to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner in August 2022, showed Jones writing about then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

“Three people, two bullets,” one message read. “Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot.”

“Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” Jones continued, according to texts obtained by the New York Post.

During a phone call with Coyner, Jones fantasized about Gilbert’s wife watching her children die and called them “little fascists.”

Jones initially refused to apologize before claiming he reached out to Gilbert to express regret for his “grave mistake.”

Spanberger condemned the messages but stopped short of demanding Jones exit the race.

“Abigail Spanberger, who is running for Governor, is weak and ineffective, and refuses to acknowledge what this Lunatic has done,” Trump said. “Democrat Jay Jones should drop out of the Race, IMMEDIATELY.”

Top Virginia Democrats, including the Virginia Beach Democratic Party, stood by Jones. Spanberger leads her Republican opponent by 8.3 points, according to RealClearPolitics.
