January 1, Virginia Democrats Defend Shocking Murder Fantasies

Wyatt’s Take

• Jay Jones’ violent words about Republicans aren’t just a slip-up—they’re a window into today’s left.
• Democrat committees excused his comments, acting like death threats are just normal mistakes.
• This kind of talk chips away at the basic decency that used to set this country apart.

When text messages showed Virginia Democrat Jay Jones wishing death on Republicans and their children, the state’s Democrat groups wasted no time defending him.

They brushed it off, saying, “Let those without sin cast the first stone,” as if hoping for murder is an honest mix-up we all make.

I’m struggling to see the integrity and accountability. I’m also reasonably confident than none of Jones’s critics have made a passionate argument that their political opponents deserve to have their kids killed. These VA Dems are telling on themselves by asking “who hasn’t?” https://t.co/5BH5dif3jo

Jones said it’d be a “good thing” if his opponent’s children died, and called Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert worse than Hitler and Pol Pot, bragging he’d “gets two bullets to the head.”

Even after another delegate called him out, Jones doubled down, calling young children “little fascists.”

Eight Democrat committees lined up to argue Jones just made a mistake—but not a single critic ever wished for anyone’s kids to die.

Just like Mike Fragoso said, this isn’t a slip—it’s a window into what some on the left think is normal now.

Excusing violent language like it’s just an everyday error helps make political hate feel normal, and that’s poison to any nation that wants to stay free and fair.

If folks start brushing off these ugly remarks, soon enough, that line between words and actions starts looking blurry.

Wyatt Matters

There’s nothing ordinary about threatening your political rivals or their families. Middle America knows decency means standing up to hateful talk, not finding ways to excuse it.
