Jay Jones, the Democrat running against Jason Miyares for attorney general in Virginia, is being called “certifiably crazy” for wanting to kill a Republican lawmaker and his family and “pissing on their graves,” as President Donald Trump and others call on him to quit the race.

Unearthed text messages Jones wrote in 2022 about former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert has the Democrat saying: “Three people two bullets … Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot … 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.” Pol Pot was the notorious head of Cambodia’s murderous Khmer Rouge regime.

He also targeted Gilbert’s wife and children, indicating: “Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy. … I mean do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil? And that they’re breeding little fascists? Yes.”

On Fox News Monday, broadcaster Hugh Hewitt called Jones “certifiably crazy,” saying, “He is an anvil around the feet of every Democrat on the ballot, including Abigail Spanberger who’s running for governor. She’s got her own problems on the trans issue. She supports boys in girls’ sports and boys in girls’ locker rooms.”

“Nobody I know has ever joked around with me about killing people they don’t like or hoping to watch their children die.”

Hewitt noted: “In fact, the people who got those texts were so disturbed, that they wrote him back and said, ‘Please stop, Jay, you’re really losing it.’ And he wouldn’t stop. He tried to justify ’em. So he’s not qualified to be the attorney general, not qualified for public life. He ought to be in counseling.

“And you cannot get Spanberger or any Democrat anywhere to condemn him because it’s the uniparty. It’s all organized around the left and the money faucet that comes out of the dark money groups. So the same people telling Chuck Schumer to close the government are the same people telling Jay Jones to stay in the race.”

Jones has expressed regret for his remarks, saying: “The rhetoric has no place on our landscape, no place in our discourse and again, for that, I am deeply, deeply sorry. I should have never done it. It’s very embarrassing to me and certainly I regret it.”

“The bottom line is that the language is unacceptable. And again, I deeply, deeply, deeply wish that it hadn’t happened. I have spent the entire day really regretting all of it, and certainly wish that it hadn’t happened and I’m sick to my stomach when I read those words.”

President Trump is calling Jones a “Radical Left Lunatic,” for making “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.”

“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!”

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed the controversy at Monday’s press briefing, indicating: “The messages that were sent by this Democrat nominee for attorney general in Virginia are really shocking, alarming and completely unacceptable.

“He was threatening to kill his opponent and his opponent’s children, and that type of rhetoric has zero place in our country, and the president was absolutely right to condemn that.”

Meanwhile, the Virginia Beach Democratic Committee is reaffirming its full support of Jones, stating: “We are lined up, ten toes down – ready to organize, mobilize, and deliver voters for Jay and our entire Democratic ticket.

“Recent press may have spotlighted past mistakes. We say, let those without sin cast the first stone.”

Journalist Benny Johnson reminded his audience Monday that Charlie Kirk was just assassinated last month and Trump was actually struck by a bullet last year by a Joe Biden donor in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“Even MSNBC says he should drop out,” Johnson said. “President Trump and JD Vance demand it. And still, Virginia Democrats defend him. They don’t condemn, they only protect.

“This is raw, unapologetic hate. It’s a candidate who treats Republicans not as citizens, but as enemies to be erased.”

Johnson concluded: “Virginia must draw the line right now. Jay Jones should be forced to drop out, investigated, and should be nowhere near power, ever. If Democrats won’t police their own, the people of Virginia must. At the ballot box. Loudly. Decisively. Absolutely. Reject Jay Jones. Period.”

Virginia Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, the Republican running against Spanberger for governor, released a campaign commercial highlighting Jones’ assassin-like comments, saying: “Jay Jones dreamed of murdering two young kids and their dad over politics – and Abigail Spanberger wants him to be attorney general.”

Mark Earley, a Republican Virginia House delegate, told Martha MacCallum of Fox News on Monday the exposure of Jones’ sentiment “changes the election, because it brings front and center the issue of overheated rhetoric and true political violence, and regular folks do not want that.”
