Over the past couple of days, calls have been growing for Democrat Virginia Attorney General nominee Jay Jones to drop out of the race, following some very deranged text messages coming to light.
Essentially, Jay Jones fantasized about killing then-GOP House Speaker Todd Gilbert — as well as his wife and two young boys — to his colleague.
Full scoop on that here.
Now, President Trump has just chimed in.
In a post on Truth Social, President Trump called for Jay Jones to drop out of the race and endorsed his Republican opponent, Jason Miyares.
He also slammed Democrats for refusing to condemn Jay Jones and force him to step down.
Read President Trump's full statement here:
It has just come out that the Radical Left Lunatic, Jay Jones, who is running against Jason Miyares, the GREAT Attorney General in Virginia, made SICK and DEMENTED jokes, if they were jokes at all, which were not funny, and that he 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. 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!
Vice President JD Vance has also called on Democrats to join him in calling on Jay Jones to drop out:
The Democrat candidate for AG in Virginia has been fantasizing about murdering his political opponents in private messages. I'm sure the people hyperventilating about sombrero memes will join me in calling for this very deranged person to drop out of the race. https://t.co/ZapsWc9VFG

Even more disturbing than Jay Jones' text messages is the fact that not a single Democrat has called for him to drop out.
In fact, they're having the exact opposite response...

That includes the Democrat candidate for Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger.
Her Republican opponent Winsome Earle-Sears shared:

Despicable.
She should drop out, too!
How can anyone back this guy?
