Spanberger In The Hot Seat
Will Jay Jones drag down the entire Democratic Party slate in Virginia? It’s starting to look like that might happen.
Jones is the man that the Democrats nominated as their Attorney General candidate in Virginia, running against Republican Jason Miyares. But a subsequent revelation has almost assuredly doomed Jones’ candidacy, and might actually cost the Democrats other key seats in Virginia, perhaps even the governorship.
What’s behind Jones’ downfall? Like many Democrats on that party’s left-leaning edge, Jones has been captured fantasizing about murdering his opponents. In particular, he made comments about putting two bullets into the head of a Republican opponent, Todd Gilbert, the Virginia House Speaker. But Jones didn’t stop there. The deranged psycho went on to describe killing Gilbert’s wife and two children.
After National Review disclosed the comments, Jones’ poll numbers sank, and he’s looking like a certified loser now. But the rest of the Democratic ticket won’t kick him to the curb, and that’s causing them to go down as well.
Will it result in the defeat of Victoria Spanberger, the former CIA officer known for her “cool” demeanor under fire, who’s now running for Virginia governor? The polls show her still ahead of Republican Winsome Earle-Sears, but Spanberger is starting to slide. The election will be Nov. 4. Here’s more from Fox News.
