Brutal, Brilliant Earle-Sears Ad Tears VA Democrats a Factual New Butt

On Friday, word broke that the young Democrat running against Republican incumbent Jason Miyares to be Virginia’s next state attorney general might not be as squeaky clean, ‘butter-wouldn’t melt in his mouth‘ wonderful as his first impression would lead one to assume.

In point of fact, former State House rep (D-Norfolk) Jay Jones shaped up like a downright vile kind of character upon further consideration.

When 2022 text messages from Jones to a former fellow House member (a Republican) were published in the National Review, there were pretty audible gasps of horror. What the youngish man had texted his colleague during a conversation that started with the death of a long-time Democratic member veered into wishing death on the Republican Speaker of the State House, a man by the name of Gilbert.

Well, and defiling Gilbert’s grave by urinating on it.

Delightful young man.

As most of you probably already know, but for those who don’t, what made the situation even worse was that Jones, when called out on it by his disgusted colleague, went even further, wishing that Gilbert’s wife would witness her children being slaughtered in front of her, and get to hold their bloody, dying bodies.

…Then at one point, the source said, he suggested he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views, prompting Coyner to hang up the phone in disgust.

Afterward, Jones continued his barrage of text messages, saying he was just asking questions. Coyner dismissed his excuse via text and chastised Jones for “hopping [sic] Jennifer Gilbert’s children would die.”

Rather than deny that he had wished death on the children, Jones responded by saying, “Yes, I’ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”

Surely, you don’t ‘wish DEATH ON HIS LITTLE CHILDREN?’ asked the horrified woman.

Well, yeah, said the totally stable man who now wants to be Virginia State Attorney General.

…Faced with more pushback from his frazzled former colleague, Jones somehow took the conversation a step further: “I mean do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil? And that they’re breeding little fascists? Yes,” he wrote, referring to Gilbert’s wife and two young children.

Mr. Jones meant these ‘little fascists’ right here.

This is a picture of the two kids he wants to kill by the way. This man cannot and should never have a role in politics ever. pic.twitter.com/RyVG9DXlVk

Jones’ first statement concerning the erupting controversy was ‘WAAH! TRUMP!’

There was no disputing the facts because the woman he had texted with and spoken to on the phone had saved all the receipts. 

Dem leaders in Virginia must call on Dem AG candidate Jay Jones to withdraw. These texts by him are insane. Virginia is the historic cradle of our Republic – from Jamestown to the Declaration… from Washington to Jefferson, Madison, & Monroe. Jones is not fit to serve. pic.twitter.com/Nem3Z83zUh

The only thing the man could do was some sort of damage control, and he chose to do that as badly as possible. It took Jones almost twelve hours to apologise to the family he’d wished death on, and that pathetic ‘sorry if you were offended‘ effort was still oozing with, ‘WAAH TRUMP!!’

Jones finally apologizes to Gilbert hours after my story ran ran this afternoon. I emailed his team for comment at 8:46 AM https://t.co/Mqz4AAh7Hl

Needless to say, it wasn’t accepted.

It leads one to believe that the demented and disgusting conversation almost three years ago was maybe really him, and that this public persona is a facade for something and someone much darker.

It didn’t matter a lick to his party, though. Almost to a one, the Democrats in Virginia came out with ‘Naughty Jones/unacceptable language/WAAH TRUMP‘ statements but never once suggested the man’s language and behavior had been so beyond the pale that it was simply inconceivable he continue as a candidate.

No calls for a resignation.

Yesterday, the Virginia Beach Democrats came out with a full-throated reendorsement of Jay Jones, leading some to wonder if they’d heard a word their candidate had said.

I have Democrat friends here in Virginia Beach. Will they vote for unhinged Jay Jones? Do they secretly believe my kids are fascists? Would they like to put two bullets in my head and kill my children and grandchildren? I have to wonder… https://t.co/sbHGXebxgQ

The Washington Post sent out a searing, ‘Young man only has a month to straighten up!’ op-ed.

Washington Post editorial board stops short of calling on Jay Jones to withdraw: “Jones has a month to convince voters that his hateful rhetoric does not reflect how he’d behave if elected as attorney general.” pic.twitter.com/ceWTzEwIfS

If you hear anything about it on any national news shows, it’s being dismissed as a ‘private conversation.’

BONKERS. Neera Tanden excuses Virginia Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones calling for the assassination of a Republican leader and his kids as just merely just a “private conversation.”

Utterly disgraceful. 🤡🤡🤡🤡

The current Speaker of the Virginia House was in church today, telling parishioners not to be ‘distracted’ over the brouhaha over the murderous fever dreams of the Democratic candidate for Attorney General, like Republicans want them to.

WAAH TRUMP

Here is the current Speaker of the House in Virginia, in a church pulpit, telling congregants to ignore Jay Jones’s call for the assassination of the prior Speaker and murder of his kids because…politics. Where is The Bulwark? Where are Dem leaders? pic.twitter.com/titRtnAmIt

Seriously. There is no shame in these people. Little to no humanity and zero decency.

It’s all machinations for power.

There have been just a handful of VA Dems who have said, ‘I want nothing to do with this deviant,’ and good for them.

Sadly for Virginia Democrats and their panicked wagon circling, the hammer of righteous anger is falling. Donald Trump came out with a rousing, super-strong endorsement for Jason Miyares today.

🚨 BREAKING: In a massive development, President Trump endorses JASON MIYARES for Virginia attorney general after it came out that Democrat AG candidate Jay Jones fantasized about SHOOTING Republicans and their children.

…”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!”

“[Jay Jones] 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.”

Elon Musk weighed in.

Jay Jones is a horrible person https://t.co/MLozhFzfAs

And the previously moribund Winsome Earle-Sears campaign just released what has to be a campaign ad for the ages, using nothing but Jay Jones.

With some supporting soundbites from hell from Abigail Spanberger.

It’s brutal. It’s brilliant. It’s all fact. 

And the tagline at the end?

Viciously effective.

Good luck ducking this one.

The RNC and the Governor’s Association should be dumping money into this race right now for more airtime and more ads like this. Jones could be the cracked cog in the warped wheel that brings the whole Democrat house of cards down just enough for the GOP to keep the state.

Democrats are naked in the rain right now, exposed for all to see the ugliness, and it doesn’t wash off. They can only hope to hide it.

We can’t let them.

If we thought our job in pushing back against the Academia/media/Democrat censorship complex was over with the election, think again. This is going to be a long fight. Ed, David, John, and I are here for it.
