Jay Jones wins Virginia Attorney General race despite violent scandal

This was considered a surprise victory by many political observers across the country Virginia Attorney General-Elect Jay Jones The Democratic ticket is a “satanic” example of the left that puts politics before decency.

A majority of Virginia voters ignored the scandals that roiled Jones’ campaign, including his alleged murder of a top Republican lawmaker and their children, to put him in office and the removal of more than a dozen state GOP delegates.

“They ignored it because they hate Trump more than they care about who… the Virginia attorney general is.”[-elect] “He said,” Outkick founder Clay Travis told Fox News on Wednesday.

“Miyares did an amazing job,” Travis said on American Newsroom. “This is an example of anger at Trump driving turnout.”

Travis said Trump was clearly a driving force There were some Spanberger voters who split tickets in favor of outgoing Attorney General Jason Miyares, but Lt. Gov. Winsome Earl Sears’ margin of loss was a lot in a rare era of ticket splitting.

One of the key pieces of feedback, he said, was that Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger received Total votes are 600,000 less Than Trump himself did in the losing presidential battle in Virginia one year ago.

When Trump is off the ballot, he said, it doesn’t seem like Republicans either will turn out to vote, as numbers from deeply conservative Southwest Virginia showed Tuesday night.

WTAR radio host Kerry Dougherty, who co-hosts the AM call-in show in Hampton, wrote on X that Virginia needs to “buckle up.”

“Last night Democrats installed a sociopath in the District Attorney’s Office. A man who may find his law license suspended for cheating on community service hours. Yes, they chose him over a moderate, intelligent, successful Republican. We are in deep trouble.”

Elsewhere, Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, said the political left shows little concern for victims of political violence, calling Jones’ win the latest piece of evidence.

“A deranged Lieber kills Charlie Kirk, and the Democrats respond by electing a sociopath who – in his own words – wants his political opponents and their children dead. Truly diabolical,” Gill wrote on X.

“Truly evil,” Florida Attorney General James Othmeyer added.

Virginia Republican voters They were also loud the next morning – with one person writing that apparently his neighbors would be OK if he died.

“At least now I know that all my neighbors who registered Jay Jones do not accept political violence,” the voter wrote on X.

“I can no longer associate with them in good conscience. It is clear that they want me dead, too.”

Conservative commentator Bennie Johnson played out the scenario Jones voters might have thought about before voting:

“Democrats in Virginia “I saw these text messages from Jay Jones and decided yes, he has my vote,” Johnson said.

“Really evil. You can’t live in a country with people who want you dead.”

Jack Posobiec, a conservative commentator and editor at Human Events, responded to Jones’ post-scandal win by recalling political violence:

“I saw the left-wing murder of Charlie Kirk and I saw them celebrating it,” Posobiec said.

“While conservatives have spent the past few weeks arguing with each other, Democrats just elected Attorney General Commentator Matt Walsh added.

“These people are the enemy. What do you need to see more of? Seriously. What do you need to see more of?”

“Ruthless” podcast producer Lee Wolf wrote on X that the Virginia election results are “the first empirical evidence” in the public domain demonstrating that Democrats overwhelmingly support political violence as a tool for gaining power.

“They saw with their own eyes this absolute lunatic going into graphic detail about the need to kill children as a means to achieve political results, and they voted yes,” Wolf said.

“You cannot dismiss violence as the actions of a few extreme extremists when you vote up for those tactics.”

In their responses to Jones’ win, left-wing voices shied away from condoning the violence, including a top supporter of the attorney general-elect, Senate President L. Louise Lucas, D-Portsmouth.

Lucas posted a clip taken from a Fox News video of Jones greeting voters in Norfolk, which a Republican Attorney General’s Association official cropped to show the Democrat appearing to try to playfully kick a dog.

Lucas reimagined the clip as a GIF of Jones making a kicking motion at the dog, but instead it hit prosecutor Jason Miyares, whose avatar flew skyward.

Elsewhere, Democratic state Sen. Mamie Locke of Hampton commented that the Democrats’ victory showed instead that her party won because “Republicans can’t govern and do their jobs and would rather shut down the government than feed the people or provide them with health care.”

“Trump, you were on the ballot,” Locke said. “Maybe not literally, but your failed policies were.” “Voters have told you how they felt about those failures. Your efforts to distract, distort, discourage, discredit and destroy this country have sent Virginians and citizens across America into a fight. This is just the beginning.”

Anti-Trump commentator Tim Miller also commented on X about these observers expressing concerns as some conservatives have.

After conservative commentator Megyn Kelly said, “God save Republicans and their children in Virginia,” Miller called it “the first known case of Spanberger Disarray Syndrome.”

Fox News Digital also reached out to Gov.-elect Ghazala Hashmi for her perspective on whether Jones’ election and the election of Democrats in general should be tied to negativity toward political violence.
