<p>When a conservative get-out-the-vote operation sent text messages to voters in Virginia to ensure they’d seen Jay Jones’ texts fantasizing about murdering a political opponent and his children, the intent was to encourage recipients not to vote for Jones.</p>
<p>Instead, some recipients responded to the robotexts by agreeing with the violent sentiments.</p>
<p>The Family Foundation Action said some messages it received back were explicit death threats, which have since been referred to law enforcement. Remarkably, the group sent the message only to Democrats who were identified as being on the more moderate side, and whom they thought would be persuadable.</p>
<p>Even these “moderate” Democrats replied with messages like, “Thank God, we need to kill more Nazis”; “Conservatives are inhuman cretins. Thus they should be put down swiftly without remorse”; “MAGA = Nazis”; and “Good. I&#8217;d vote for him over the fascist any day.”</p>
<p>“This is what they have to say in reaction to being sent information on how Jay Jones wants the children of political opponents to die, just weeks after Charlie Kirk gets assassinated,” the PAC said. “This is who they are … Do not let Jay Jones and the monsters supporting him win.”</p>

<p>Polling suggests that the attorney general’s race in Virginia is roughly tied, even after the National Review revealed the gruesome text messages, whose authenticity Jones acknowledged in an apology. It was also revealed that Jones had made similar comments about the police.</p>
<p>Americans have been shocked as no Democratic candidate, including his running mates Abigail Spanberger and Ghazala Hashmi, has called for him to drop out of the race for the commonwealth’s top law enforcement position.</p>
<p>Some groups have even appeared to denigrate their founding principles in order to maintain hard-line partisanship. Giffords PAC, a gun-control group founded by former Democratic congresswoman Gabby Giffords after she was shot by a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/16/us/16loughner.html">nonpartisan</a> maniac, is <a href="https://giffords.org/elections/endorsements/">continuing to endorse Jones</a>, despite his stated desire to shoot elected officials. Giffords PAC did not respond to The Daily Wire’s request for comment. Gabby Giffords is married to Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ).</p>

<p>“Their silence speaks volumes about whether they actually believe in the principles they claim to champion,” Virginia state Sen. Glen Sturtevant, a Republican, told The Daily Wire. Jones has “shown he lacks the character and judgment this office requires. He needs to withdraw immediately,” he added.</p>
<p>Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that “on balance, he’s the better person” than his Republican rival — a suggestion that Democrats view Republicans as even worse than those with murderous fantasies aimed at political moderates. That’s even though Jones’ rival in the race, Jason Miyares, has been attorney general for the last four years, making him a known quantity and not a prospective “fascist.”</p>
<p>It’s a position not all that different from one expressed in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/virginia-dems-say-candidate-who-fantasized-about-murdering-gop-leader-is-better-than-republicans?author=Luke+Rosiak&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Virginia+Dems+Say+‘Our+Democracy’+Depends+On+Voting+For+Candidate+Who+Fantasized+About+Assassination">Jones’ text messages</a>: That if he had Hitler, Pol Pot, and Virginia’s then-House Speaker, a moderate Republican, in a room with two bullets, he’d shoot the Republican twice.</p>
