Virginia Dems Cling to Their Lunatic AG Nominee Like a Bad Tattoo

If you thought the Democrat Party had hit rock bottom with their endless parade of unhinged rants, you ain't heard nothing yet. 

Virginia Democrats are still propping up their attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, even after he spilled his twisted little fantasies in text messages about shooting a Republican lawmaker and wishing a world of hurt on the man's kids. Charming, right, because nothing screams "top cop material" like daydreaming about double-tapping a colleague.

These gems from August 2022 popped up just in time for Jones' quixotic quest to boot out the solid, pro-life Republican AG Jason Miyares in 2025. Early voting kicked off September 19, and boom! here comes the sideshow. Jones, the ex-Dem state delegate who bailed in 2021 after some "soft on crime" flubs, was griping about GOP tributes to a dead colleague. But oh boy, did he crank the dial to eleven on House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

In the texts to former GOPer Carrie Coyner, Jones spins this hypothetical fever dream: "three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head." Then he drops the mic: "Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time." 

But he didn't stop at the speaker. He encourages violence by accusing Gilbert and his wife of "breeding little fascists," that's code for their two young kids, and mused that hacks like Gilbert only flip on gun violence when they feel "personal pain," you know, like watching a kid get snuffed out. Pot, meet kettle, says the guy auditioning for the role of unhinged villain.

Coyner, bless her, forwarded the screenshots to Gilbert and nailed it: "disqualifying for anyone who wants to seek public office." She called out Jones wishing violence on the kids and cracking wise about shooting him as "disgusting and unbecoming of any public official." 

No kidding. And in a follow-up call, Jones reportedly dug his heels in deeper, floating that Gilbert's wife ought to watch one of their tykes croak to "fix" his views on policy. Coyner hung up faster than you'd expect, and that was that, except for some limp policy chit-chat later. 

Jones' camp ghosted requests for comment at first, then coughed up this loogie: "Like all people, I've sent text messages that I regret and I believe that violent rhetoric has no place in our politics." 

But wait, there's more; they slapped a "smear" label on it all, blaming Miyares and his "Trump-controlled media organizations" for propping up the GOP's "desperate campaign." Pulleeeze. If wishing death on innocents is a "regret," try therapy, not the AG's office.Gilbert and Team Miyares? Zipped it on the texts. Smart move, why dignify the circus? 

But Jones is lugging more baggage than a Delta flight delay. Zero prosecutorial chops, a rap sheet tagged "soft on crime" by critics, and don't forget that 2022 joyride where he got nailed for reckless driving, 46 mph OVER the limit! Cough up $1,500 and some community service hours, funneled through his own PAC. Because why not monetize your screw-ups?

And the crazy part is that the Democrat Party of Virginia hasn't yanked the plug. They're letting this clusterfrack of a clown car roll on, violent threats and all. It screams a disturbing tolerance for rhetoric that puts innocent lives on the line, including kids, for crying out loud. In a party that preaches "protect the vulnerable" while cheering this garbage? Wake up, guys, this isn't leadership; it's a liability. Miyares deserves the win, and Jones deserves a long walk off a short pier into reality.

If you like Brain Flushings and want to Buy Me A Coffee, I would appreciate it, as it supports my work. Obviously, there is no pressure but I certainly wouldn't stop you.
