<p>As every mom knows, our greatest fear is something bad happening to our kids.</p>
<p>So, like much of the country, I was shocked when I learned that Jay Jones, a Democrat running to be the next Attorney General of my home state of Virginia, expressed his desire to see a political opponent’s children <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-them-virginia-dem-sent-shocking-texts-about-killing-gop-leader-pissing-on-graves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">killed</a> because of their father’s views on gun control.</p>
<p>But reading those texts — in which Jones imagines his opponent being shot twice while his wife cradled her dying child — I had another thought.</p>
<p>He was talking about me.</p>
<p>I am a Republican. I am a mother and a wife. And Jay Jones and I probably do not agree on Second Amendment issues.</p>
<p>Jones, who could very possibly become the top law enforcement official of my state, is on the record saying he wants people like me to suffer unimaginable tragedy so that I will change my views and stop “breeding little fascists.”</p>
<p>“Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy,” Jones <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/dem-ag-nominee-jay-jones-fantasized-about-shooting-former-virginia-gop-speaker-he-receives-both-bullets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.</p>
<p>This was not a mistake. It wasn’t an accident. He meant those words, and he believes them in his heart still today, regardless of weak apologies.</p>
<p>How do I know this to be true? He’s still running.</p>
<p>And why not? Just look at all the Democrats rallying around him and continuing to support his campaign, including gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.</p>
<p>“I stand with [Jay Jones]. Period. End of Statement,” <a href="https://x.com/melforhd48/status/1975206810455027859" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> Virginia House of Delegates candidate Melody Cartwright (who has “Human Rights Defender” in her bio on X).</p>
<p>The <a href="https://x.com/bluevirginia/status/1974616667499192690" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virginia Beach Democratic Committee</a> &#8220;reaffirmed its full support for Jay Jones for Attorney General&#8221; and &#8220;[called] on all Virginians to line up behind Jay Jones.&#8221;</p>
<p>Again, Jay Jones believes that the way to enact his political agenda is for moms to hold our dying children in our own arms.</p>
<p>Jones’s Republican opponent, the sitting Attorney General of Virginia, Jason Miyares, launched an <a href="https://x.com/JasonMiyaresVA/status/1975234553867313211" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ad</a> hitting the nail on the head: &#8220;Do you trust Jay Jones to protect your children?&#8221;</p>
<p>The answer is simple: of course not.</p>
<p>But the rot runs deeper. Jay Jones is not alone.</p>
<p>As I am unfortunately learning, it appears that Democrats on the whole believe that killing political opponents is an acceptable option to enact their political agenda.</p>
<p>In fact, a sobering poll taken in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination found that over 40% of liberals believe violence can be <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/sep/16/liberals-younger-americans-likely-justify-political-violence-poll/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">justified</a> to achieve political goals.</p>
<p>Here’s the bottom line: any Democrat who refuses to call for Jones to step down is doing more than endorsing his candidacy. They’re endorsing mothers holding our dying children to make us change our minds on gun control.</p>

<p>They’re endorsing the continued and seriously deranged normalization of political violence and the dehumanization of those who disagree with them on politics.</p>
<p>Mothers of Virginia, beware: this man could be our next Attorney General.</p>
<p>Mothers of America, beware: this is the Democratic Party.</p>
