Jones said he would "piss on the graves" of Republicans, and hoped for the death of their children.
DROP OUT.
This scumbag can't be anywhere near an Attorney General position in an American state, let alone any position of authority.

How this man is still in the race defies all common decency.
Posters don’t hold back in their assessment of Jones.
This man is literally a terrorist ... yet he wants to lead one of the most powerful AG offices in the country?

If he doesn't drop out, then I'll just assume it's because the Democrats agree with what he said.
Imagine a person running for Attorney General would be even considered knowing he wants death to 50% of his population.

Lunatic and a Terrorist, this guy cannot be fixed at this point. Activist POC like usual
A large portion of Democrats think this way.

Sadly, Jones merely reflects a growing trend favoring political violence in the Democrat Party.
Despite Jones’s call for murder being revealed, DNC Chair Ken Martin has not rescinded his endorsement as of this writing.

It's the right call but from a cutthroat POV, having him stay in helps Republicans more.

Jones will keep the fire going, especially when there are likely more texts out there.
Jones should drop out immediately. But if Democrats double down in support of political violence against Republicans and their families, the disgust this pro-murder stance raises with sane voters could be a political boon for Republicans on the ballot in the upcoming elections in Virginia.
