VA-AG: Democratic candidate for Virginia AG faces firestorm after disturbing texts leak

Democratic candidate for Virginia’s attorney general, Jay Jones, is facing a firestorm after a series of 2022 text messages calling for the then-statehouse speaker to get “two bullets to the head” were leaked this week.

“Three people, two bullets,” Jones said in a text to House Delegate Carrie Coyner (R) about former House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R), according to The National Review, which first reported on the correspondence Friday. Texts were later published by the Republican Attorney Generals Association.

“Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot.” Jones wrote. “Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”

“Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones told Coyner.
