It’s a good thing “Two Bullets” Jay Jones isn’t applying for a line prosecutor position in an attorney general’s office. As Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has said, Jones wouldn’t pass a background check.
But Jones, a former Virginia state delegate, isn’t applying for a line prosecutor position. He’s applying to replace Republican incumbent AG Miyares. The commonwealth’s voters in a couple of weeks, however, will determine if Jones’ vile text messages — in which he fantasized about putting “two bullets” in the head of a Republican politician he loathed — pass their background check.
‘I Am Ashamed,’ but It’s Trump
At a debate Thursday evening between the two candidates, Jones had to again face the violent messages that some of his fellow Democrats have called indefensible and many Virginians have said are disqualifying. Jones gave another political mea culpa, telling the packed house at the University of Richmond who he believes the real culprit is: Donald Trump.
“Let me be very clear: I am ashamed. I am embarrassed. And I am sorry,” the leftist AG candidate said. His apology sounded as sincere as the standard politician who is sorry — for being caught.
Jones quickly pivoted to a long list of complaints about President Donald Trump, attempting to tie Miyares to the hip of the commander-in-chief and his policies. Jones, who is dealing with more unearthed skeletons than his 2022 text fantasies of murdering the children of former Virginia Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert, urged voters to remember that “the stakes of this race are too high” to consider his psychotic messages.
Jones warned that if he is not elected there will be no one in the attorney general’s office to lead an endless lawfare campaign against the left’s Public Enemy No. 1 and his administration.
“When Donald Trump fires [federal] workers, defunds our schools, and levies tariffs that destroy our regional economies, sends armed troops into cities, and defunds law enforcment, he has a willing cheerleader here in Jason Miyares, who will not step up to sue,” Miyares said, promising Virginia and the world that he would be a reliable foot soldier in the Democratic Party’s war on Trump and a political agenda that much of America voted for.
