<p>Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) tore into Virginia Attorney General-elect Jay Jones — who won Tuesday’s election despite the cloud of scandal that threatened to engulf him — on Wednesday, saying that he was no less concerned about Jones’ ability to carry out the duties of his office in an unbiased manner.</p>
<p>Youngkin mentioned the scandal that had followed Jones, stemming from <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/is-the-virginia-way-dead-ag-jason-miyares-breaks-down-whats-really-at-stake-in-jay-jones-race">text messages</a> he’d sent three years earlier that advocated the assassination of then-state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, and suggested that Gilbert and his wife should have to watch one of their young children die.</p>

<p>“I am incredibly concerned about the Attorney General-elect’s ability to do the job based on the texts that he sent. They were abhorrent, and I think that they, once again, reiterate that you can’t come into this job if you are espousing death on a political enemy, the death of children, and the death of law enforcement,” Youngkin posted on X.</p>
<p>“And I believe, just as I&#8217;ve always believed that that disqualifies him for the job,” the governor continued. “The next administration&#8217;s going to have to figure out how to deal with that because they have law enforcement, that they&#8217;re going to need to make sure, feel good about doing the job. They&#8217;re going to have to make sure that parents with children feel safe.”</p>
<p>“And that’s going to be a challenge going forward. My position has not changed; that there is absolutely no excuse for what he wrote. None. And we live in a society today that I think has lost its way, at least some folks have, on their willingness to almost accept violence and political violence as a solution,” Youngkin concluded.</p>
<p>Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears lost her bid for the governor’s mansion on Tuesday, meaning that Youngkin will soon be replaced by Democrat <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spanberger-still-sells-merchandise-with-jay-joness-name-despite-attempts-to-distance-campaigns">Abigail Spanberger</a>, who initially condemned Jones’ text messages, but stopped short of calling for him to step away from the race.</p>
