Blurb:
… This means that what’s in Jay Jones’s heart is simple but shocking: Murder.
Equally shocking has been the response from other Virginia Democrats, including the top of the ticket for statewide office, gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.
Spanberger, who earlier this election cycle told her supporters to “let your rage fuel you,” has refused to step away from Jones or call for his removal from the ticket.
The same goes for just about every other major liberal politician and political group in Virginia. Sure, they’ve offered mealy-mouthed caveats about such language being “unacceptable,” but then they immediately pivot into pointing fingers at Donald Trump and doubling down on their endorsement of Jones.
As Mollie Hemingway from The Federalist insightfully suggested, “perhaps the reason every single Democrat is standing behind Virginia Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones, who fantasized about Republicans getting assassinated and their children dying, is because they more or less agree with him.”
She’s not wrong. I said it’s “shocking” that the other leftists in Virginia would stand by their comrade, but let’s be honest, it really isn’t. This is who the left is.
For the left, who trace their ideological roots back to the bloody guillotines of the French Revolution and through the killing fields of the Khmer Rouge, the presence of violence in their political quest for eternal power isn’t a bug — it’s a feature.
