<p>President Donald Trump called out Virginia Democrat Jay Jones over nasty text messages he sent in 2022 — in which he suggested that then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert should be shot — and said that Jones should do the right thing and resign his campaign.</p>
<p>Trump made the <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115322323424244142">statement</a> on Sunday via his Truth Social platform, and in addition to calling on Jones to resign from the campaign, he declared that current Attorney General Jason Miyares (R-VA) had his full support in the race.</p>
<p>&#8220;It has just come out that the Radical Left Lunatic, Jay Jones, who is running against Jason Miyares, the GREAT Attorney General in Virginia, made SICK and DEMENTED jokes, if they were jokes at all, which were not funny, and that he wrote down and sent around to people, concerning the murdering of a Republican Legislator, his wife, and their children,&#8221; Trump posted.</p>
<p>The president went on to note that Virginia Democrats were not doing enough to distance themselves and the party from Jones and his previous statements.</p>
<p>&#8220;Abigail Spanberger, who is running for Governor, is weak and ineffective, and refuses to acknowledge what this Lunatic has done. Even Democrats are saying it is &#8216;RESIGNATION FROM CAMPAIGN&#8217; TERRITORY,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Democrat Jay Jones should drop out of the Race, IMMEDIATELY, and the People of Virginia must continue to have a GREAT Attorney General in Jason Miyares who, by the way, has my Complete and Total Endorsement — JASON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!&#8221;</p>
<p>Jones made national headlines on Friday when a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/reject-the-insanity-winsome-sears-hits-virginia-dems-with-ad-highlighting-vile-jay-jones-texts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">series of his texts</a> from 2022 were published.</p>
<p>&#8220;Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” Jones texted to Del. Carrie Coyner (R) at the time. “Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jones also stated in another text that he would attend the funerals of Republican lawmakers in order to &#8220;piss on their graves,&#8221; and claimed that Gilbert would not be moved to change his political positions unless he and his wife had to watch one of their own children die.</p>
