Democrat Wins Another Key Election
In a jaw-dropping twist that’s sending shockwaves through Virginia politics, Democrat Jay Jones has narrowly defeated Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares, even after a disturbing violent text message scandal nearly derailed his campaign.
🔥 A Disturbing Scandal That Should Have Ended His Run
The controversy erupted when resurfaced texts from 2022 revealed Jones had made graphic, violent remarks about then–House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R).
In one shocking message to Delegate Carrie Coyner (R), Jones wrote:
Jones allegedly wrote that there were “three men and only two bullets,” naming Todd Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot, and then added that Gilbert would “take both shots.”
Coyner immediately told Jones to stop — but by then, the damage was done. The texts painted a disturbing picture of anger, hatred, and extremism from someone seeking to become Virginia’s top law enforcement official.
⚖️ Republicans Demand Accountability
Jones later apologized, but Republicans weren’t buying it.
President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) all blasted the Democrat, demanding he drop out of the race.
Miyares, the incumbent, launched a seven-figure ad campaign highlighting the violent language, warning voters that the “radical left” was once again excusing behavior that would end any Republican’s career overnight.
“If a Republican had said anything close to this, the media would destroy them in seconds,” Trump said at a rally. “But Democrats get a free pass every time.”
🗳️ Democrats Circle the Wagons
Even top Democrats such as Abigail Spanberger, their gubernatorial nominee, condemned the messages — but conveniently stopped short of calling for Jones’s resignation. By early October, when the texts surfaced, early voting was already underway, and party insiders feared a scandal-driven collapse at the polls.
Despite national outrage and wall-to-wall media coverage, Jones somehow survived. With heavy support from deep-blue regions like Northern Virginia and Richmond, he narrowly pulled ahead of Miyares, flipping the office back to Democratic control.
🚨 A Warning Sign for America
Jones’s victory leaves many conservatives asking tough questions: How far has the Democrat Party fallen when violent, hateful rhetoric is brushed aside for political gain?
And what message does it send when a man who joked about “two bullets to the head” can become Attorney General of a U.S. state?
For Republicans and law-abiding Virginians, the result is more than a disappointment — it’s a wake-up call about the growing double standards in American politics.
When conservatives speak truth, they’re censored.
When Democrats speak violence, they’re promoted.
