As Israel&#8217;s war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza approaches its third year following the October 7, 2023, massacre, the conflict has shaken the foundations of public opinion, shifting views not only toward Israel but toward Palestinians as well, according to a recent <a href="https://bit.ly/SEPT25NVT">Cygnal survey</a>.
For decades, Israel enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the United States, but that consensus has eroded, and younger Americans are at the forefront of that shift. Among American voters, Israel’s image is slightly underwater overall, with 41 percent viewing it favorably and nearly 44 percent unfavorably. But among voters aged 18 to 44, Israel’s standing is significantly worse — it is deeply underwater with a net favorability of -31. For voters over 55, it’s the opposite – Israel has a net favorability of +14.
This trend should come as no surprise amid two years of anti-Israel protests, often echoing Hamas messaging, on college campuses and throughout liberal cities. However, declining support for Israel has not translated to a pro-Palestinian shift.
Public opinion on Palestinians is even more negative, with 45 percent of Americans having an unfavorable view compared to just a 31 percent favorable one. But it is here that the generational and partisan divides cut in the opposite direction — 60 percent of voters over the age 55, and 64 percent of Republicans, hold the most unfavorable view of Palestinians.

Americans are more broadly aligned in their views of Hamas, with three-quarters of likely voters having a negative opinion of the U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization. As is often the case with tracking public opinion, single digits tend to get a mere glance, especially in this case, when only 6 percent view Hamas favorably.
However, that 6 percent translates into roughly 20 million American voters holding a favorable view of Hamas.
That’s enough people to fill 186 Michigan football stadiums (each holding more than 107,000 people), and it not only reflects a dangerous moral confusion, but also a broader cultural shift that favors ideological extremes.
Most Republicans, and some Democrats, support Israel’s effort to destroy Hamas to prevent future massacres and secure the release of the remaining hostages. They are the type of voters who welcome groundbreaking talks between President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu, as we witnessed this week. But radical voices on the far Left often point to the devastation in Gaza and accuse Israel of genocide. A loud minority on the Right have also begun to believe Israel seeks to draw America into another conflict, or see Israel at the center of every conspiracy, from toppling the Assad regime to assassinating Charlie Kirk.
For American “normies,&#8221; all of this is, of course, absurd.
This moment in time is not a passing dip in support for Israel. Another Cygnal <a href="https://bit.ly/46GQqHz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> from just after the horrific attacks by Hamas on innocent civilians on October 7, 2023, revealed 47 percent of American voters were concerned about pro-Palestinian protests in America, but that 38 percent were indifferent, and 15 percent supported them. It’s not unreasonable to assume indifference and tacit support are the same here, meaning that in less than a week after the unprecedented attacks on Israel that sparked the current conflict, more were accepting of the pro-Palestinian protesters’ grievances and open calls for violence against Israel.
These alarming trends were specifically cited by Charlie Kirk, who warned that a war over information was being waged against Israel, especially on social media, and that it had permeated into conservative movements. This latest data affirms the incredibly high-stakes nature of this new era.
But how fitting is the promise of a leader like President Trump to set a new course, not just on the diplomatic stage but on the public one as well. His critical role to support Israel as a bastion of democracy and a strong American ally will only be as effective as Israel’s efforts to rebuild trust and reshape its image among younger Americans in particular.
Maintaining bipartisan, or even just intergenerational Republican support for Israel as a strategic ally is not merely in Israel’s interest – it is in America’s interest. In a democracy, public opinion is not a secondary concern, but the foundational pillar that sustains long-term foreign policy.
Ignoring these dangerous trends is something neither country can afford.

Pollsters: Generational Divide On Israel Threatens Longstanding Support From American Voters

As every mom knows, our greatest fear is something bad happening to our kids.
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.
But reading those texts — in which Jones imagines his opponent being shot twice while his wife cradled her dying child — I had another thought.
He was talking about me.
I am a Republican. I am a mother and a wife. And Jay Jones and I probably do not agree on Second Amendment issues.
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.”
“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>.
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.
How do I know this to be true? He’s still running.
And why not? Just look at all the Democrats rallying around him and continuing to support his campaign, including gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger.
“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).
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;
Again, Jay Jones believes that the way to enact his political agenda is for moms to hold our dying children in our own arms.
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;
The answer is simple: of course not.
But the rot runs deeper. Jay Jones is not alone.
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.
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.
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.
<a class="c-link" href="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-stringify-link="https://get.dailywire.com/subscribe/plus/?utm_campaign=fall40&amp;utm_content=fallsale&amp;utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=editorial" data-sk="tooltip_parent">Get 40% off new DailyWire+ annual memberships with code FALL40 at checkout!</a>
They’re endorsing the continued and seriously deranged normalization of political violence and the dehumanization of those who disagree with them on politics.
Mothers of Virginia, beware: this man could be our next Attorney General.
Mothers of America, beware: this is the Democratic Party.

Jay Jones’s Texts Should Frighten Every Mom In America

Gun Control

Jay Jones

Virginia

In the wake of a still-unfolding text scandal involving his Democratic opponent, state Attorney General Jason Miyares (R-VA) laid out what is really at stake in the coming election: what will happen to the &#8220;Virginia Way&#8221;?
Miyares spoke with The Daily Wire by phone on Tuesday, four days after a series of 2022 texts — sent by Democratic nominee Jay Jones to a Republican colleague — went viral, and he questioned whether the traditional collegial relationship between Virginia politicians, regardless of party, could survive the mindset behind them.
In the texts in question, sent to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner, Jones had fantasized about the assassination of then state-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, and declared that Gilbert would never change his political positions unless he and his wife were forced to watch one of their children die. He also said he&#8217;d like to &#8220;piss on the graves&#8221; of his political opponents.
&#8220;The &#8216;Virginia Way&#8217; has always been the idea that even though Washington might not be civil at times, [members of both parties in] Richmond will be civil with each other,&#8221; Miyares said. &#8220;That’s part of why what Jay Jones has done is so troubling.&#8221;
&#8220;He knows Jennifer Gilbert, that’s not a stranger. Todd would bring his children to the assembly, so when he sent those text messages, they were only two and five years old at the time,&#8221; Miyares explained. &#8220;So this is not some type of hypothetical; this is someone that he worked with, this was a colleague. Then to say that he wanted to see two bullets in his head and then imagine saying that the children would die in their mother’s arms — this was not a stranger. He’s met the mother, he’s met the children, and in his mind, pain is the only way that change happens. That is a — I don’t know how to get my arms around that.&#8221;
Miyares said several times that it was difficult for him to fathom the mindset behind the texts Jones sent — the idea that violence was a reasonable reaction to political opposition.
&#8220;I think this election now is really a referendum on the Virginia Way,&#8221; he observed. &#8220;Is it now dead? Because I could tell you ten years ago, it would have been unquestioned, not in a million years would anybody even consider — but there seems to be this mindset that power is more important than decency.&#8221;
He went on to remark that it wasn&#8217;t just Jones — there seemed to be an abundance of Democrats who were willing to say that what Jones texted had been bad, unconscionable even, but those same people were unwilling to say that such comments should disqualify Jones from holding public office.
Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), for example, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee, called for former Governor Ralph Northam (D-VA) to resign over a 20-year-old blackface photo in a college yearbook — but she couldn&#8217;t bring herself to call for the resignation of a current candidate who&#8217;d called for the assassination of a colleague over political differences.
&#8220;Don’t forget the context of this,&#8221; Miyares added. &#8220;Jay was upset that Republicans had done a eulogy and said nice words in remembrance of a Democratic colleague and his reaction was that he wanted to ‘piss on the graves’ of his political opponents.&#8221;
Miyares, who is of Cuban descent, said that was the reason he found Jones&#8217; mindset so abhorrent – because he came from a &#8220;society where they would use violence to silence opinions.&#8221;
&#8220;Ideas were seen as so dangerous that it was morally excused to use violence to silence them. We said a long time ago in this country that we’re going to settle our debates at the ballot box and not with bullets,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The idea that somebody is seeking to be the top prosecutor — he’s never prosecuted a case in his life and would advocate violence against somebody he disagrees with and would want to piss on the graves of his opponents — I can’t imagine anybody in polite society thinking that’s acceptable.&#8221;
&#8220;My uncle Angel Miyares was arrested during the Bay of Pigs invasion,&#8221; Miyares recalled. &#8220;Castro arrested anybody that he thought could rise up against him on the island, and he was taken to an empty baseball stadium and he went through the humiliation of a mock execution. What was his crime? Ideas. His crime was simply — he was handing out anti-Castro leaflets in Havana. And he got put on Castro&#8217;s secret police radar, and they arrested him. When you suddenly take away someone’s individual dignity, their humanity, and you think that politics trumps their individual dignity, I can&#8217;t help that. I can&#8217;t – it is so outside of my worldview.&#8221;
Miyares brought the conversation back around to the &#8220;Virginia Way&#8221; and the idea that politics should not ever be an excuse to resort to violence.
&#8220;I view it as it’s not just me on the ballot this year, I view it as the &#8216;Virginia Way&#8217; and the idea that we are going to — yes, we will have a basic standard of decency in politics today, and I think that’s on the ballot,&#8221; he said.
His final thought on Jones was a question about whether or not he was suited to the office of attorney general.
&#8220;Crime does not know partisanship. Being the people’s protector means I protect everyone,&#8221; Miyares explained, adding that he wasn&#8217;t sure how someone who openly called for a political opponent&#8217;s assassination could approach the job in a way that did not reflect that. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s safe to say that where he is is a very different mindset.&#8221;

Jason Miyares takes over as the new Attorney General of Virginia.

Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) says he will still support Jay Jones — the Democratic nominee for state attorney general — in spite of several vile text messages he sent to a Republican colleague in 2022.
CNN congressional reporter Manu Raju caught up with Kaine on Tuesday to ask him whether he&#8217;d withdraw his support for Jones after the old texts surfaced — texts in which Jones had advocated for the assassination of then state House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, and had said Gilbert would never change his political positions unless he and his wife were forced to watch one of their young children die.

&#8220;The comments are completely indefensible,&#8221; Kaine declared. &#8220;But I&#8217;ve know Jay Jones for 25 years, and those comments are very much out of character for him. So if I put the comments, which are clearly beyond the pale, against knowing this guy for 25 years, I&#8217;m still supporting Jay Jones.&#8221;
With that, Kaine turned on his heel and walked away, adding himself to the rapidly growing list of Democrats who were willing to condemn calls for the assassination of political rivals, but not willing to say that people making such calls were declaring themselves unqualified to hold public office.

Top Virginia Senator Says Jay Jones Still Has His Support

Nearly two-thirds of Americans want COVID-era federal programs to come to an end, as Democrats demand that any government funding bill include an extension of health care subsidies that were introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/929542118/Polling-on-ACA-Enhanced-Subsidies-Top-Line-docx?secret_password=sN1T3iUcGZSAHeyfI3eD">poll</a>.
Sixty-one percent of Americans said that the federal government should allow COVID-era subsidies to end, according to a poll conducted last week by the Republican-aligned firm OnMessage Public Strategies, Inc., that was shared with The Daily Wire.
Those surveyed were asked whether “the federal government should allow programs that were designed deliberately to address the problems created by the COVID-19 pandemic to sunset, and put those funds to more pressing issues facing Americans.&#8221; Thirty-nine percent of those surveyed strongly agreed with the statement, and 22% somewhat agreed, while only 15% strongly disagreed, and another 15% somewhat disagreed, also wanting to keep the COVID-19 Affordable Care Act subsidies alive.
The poll surveyed 1,000 Americans. Thirty-eight percent of those polled identified as Republicans, and 33% of the participants identified as Democrats. Another 26% of those surveyed identified as independent.
Affordable Care Act subsidies have been a major part of the ongoing government shutdown negotiations on Capitol Hill. Under former President Joe Biden&#8217;s Inflation Reduction Act, those health care subsidies, that were meant to address issues during COVID, were extended through the end of this year. However, Democrats want the subsidies made permanent, arguing that insurance premiums would skyrocket and low-income Americans would be forced to drop their coverage. The Congressional Budget Office <a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-pulse/2025/10/02/breaking-down-the-aca-subsidy-fight-00590901">estimated</a> that by 2034, four million people who would have had insurance will be uninsured if the subsidies are not extended.

The OnMessage poll found drastically different results than a similar poll conducted by the health policy organization KFF last week. A KFF survey published on October 3 found that 78% of Americans want Congress to extend the Obamacare subsidies, including 59% of Republicans. The KFF <a href="https://www.kff.org/public-opinion/despite-budget-concerns-three-quarters-of-public-say-congress-should-extend-the-enhanced-aca-tax-credits-set-to-expire-next-year-including-most-republicans-and-maga-supporters/">poll</a> also found that ending the subsidies could be problematic for Republicans in next year&#8217;s midterm elections.
Republican leaders, who have opposed Obamacare for years, argue that the subsidies debate should be held closer to the end of the year, after the government has been funded. Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, are also seeking additional ways to reduce government spending. An analysis from the Congressional Budget Office and the Joint Committee on Taxation released last month estimated that a permanent extension of the Obamacare COVID subsidies would increase the federal deficit by $349.8 billion over the next decade, The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5540430-mike-johnson-shutdown-obamacare-subsidies/">reported</a>.
Both House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5538167-congress-aca-tax-credit-increase/">said</a> that discussions over Obamacare subsidies cannot happen while the government remains shut down, urging their Democratic colleagues to focus on agreeing to a temporary funding bill before larger funding debates can be held.
“We have effectively three months to negotiate. In the White House and in the halls of Congress, that’s like an eternity,” Johnson <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5540430-mike-johnson-shutdown-obamacare-subsidies/">said</a> on Monday.
Trump said on Monday that he&#8217;s open to negotiating with Democrats on the health care subsidies, but added that they must reopen the government before those negotiations take place.
&#8220;I am happy to work with the Democrats on their Failed Healthcare Policies, or anything else, but first they must allow our Government to re-open. In fact, they should open our Government tonight!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/115329671584864920">wrote</a> on Truth Social on Monday evening.

When discussing the story of a Democratic Virginia attorney general candidate who fantasized about murdering a state GOP leader, we have to understand the reasons why this is happening.
There are these gigantic thought structures that have been created and perpetuated generationally by the Left that say it is perfectly okay to talk about murdering your political opponents because they are your political opponents.
According to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-them-virginia-dem-sent-shocking-texts-about-killing-gop-leader-pissing-on-graves">The Daily Wire</a>:  
<blockquote>Democrat Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones, in recently uncovered text messages, fantasized about murdering a state GOP leader with “two bullets to the head” and “piss[ing]” on the graves of other Republicans.
In text messages obtained first by National Review, Jones says to another lawmaker that he would use two bullets to murder then-GOP House Speaker Todd Gilbert.
“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” Jones texted to Del. Carrie Coyner (R). “Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time.” Earlier in the text messages, Jones expressed that he would attend the funerals of Republican lawmakers in Virginia “to piss on their graves. … Send them out awash in something.”</blockquote>
What apparently ticked him off at the time was that the Republican House Speaker, Todd Gilbert, attended the funeral of Democrat Delegate Joe Johnson, who passed away at the age of 90, and Gilbert said nice things about his late colleague. And this, of course, is what made Jones, the Democratic Virginia AG candidate, very, very angry.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-2293-meet-the-democrat-who-fantasizes-about-shooting-a-gop-leader"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter wp-image-981859 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner.avif" alt="" width="1024" height="171" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner.avif 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner-300x50.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/10/ben-banner-768x128.jpg 768w" sizes=" (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a>
A follow-up message from Jones confirmed not only that he wanted to kill Gilbert, but also that he would like Gilbert&#8217;s children to die.
The Republican state delegate wrote, “You weren&#8217;t simply asking questions and you know it.”
Jones wrote back, “I genuinely was. I wasn&#8217;t attacking you, I was trying to understand your logic.” 
The Republican delegate:  “You weren&#8217;t trying to understand. You were talking about hoping Jennifer Gilbert&#8217;s children would die.” 
Jones: “Yes. I&#8217;ve told you this before. Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.” 
The Republican delegate: “I point blank asked you more than three times and you dug in that you meant it. I honestly am questioning a lot today.” 
Jones: “I mean do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil and that they are breeding little fascists? Yes.” 
This is all being revealed in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and it is insane. 
Winsome Earle-Sears, who is running for governor of Virginia and is currently lieutenant governor under Glenn Youngkin, put out a statement calling for the resignation of Jay Jones. 
She <a href="https://x.com/winwithwinsome/status/1974199752507208188">wrote</a>:  
<blockquote>This is horrible to read and should be wholly disqualifying of someone running for an office that protects the people of Virginia.
Jay Jones’ horrific comments are a symptom of the entire Democratic Party and his running mate, Abigail Spanberger, needs to call on him to drop out.  
Attorney General Jason Miyares has served the people of Virginia with honor and dignity, and will continue to do so come November. 
Jay Jones can never be Attorney General of Virginia.</blockquote>
Now, the way the mainstream media have covered this is quite wild and also totally insane.
First, they claim these are mere allegations that Jay Jones wanted to kill his political opponent. 
These aren&#8217;t allegations. He literally said it. 
If you text someone and then you confirm over and over again that you mean a thing, and then you say that children should die because they&#8217;re “little fascists,” at a certain point, don’t we have to take you at your word?
POLITICO <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/04/virginia-elections-jay-jones-texts-00594261">reported</a> the story in the following manner, and it really demonstrates the madness of the legacy media:  
<blockquote>A string of text messages from Jay Jones, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for attorney general, where he mused about violence directed toward a political rival is triggering widespread backlash and threatening to shake up the state’s November election.</blockquote>
And this is how it always works with the legacy media. If Democrats do a bad thing, the story is,  “Republicans pounce.” If Republicans do a bad thing, the story is “Republicans did a bad thing.” 
I love the language that POLITICO used about how Jay Jones “mused about violence.” 
He was just musing. You know, it&#8217;s what you do when you call for someone&#8217;s murder. 
It&#8217;s just musing about what would happen if something really bad were to happen to them.
Pretty incredible. There&#8217;s no apology either. And so when we say the legacy media and Left have a soft spot in their hearts for murder and terrorism, it appears that there is a lot of truth to that statement.

“Deep — deeply disturbing messages,” Lemire agreed, immediately and repeatedly insisting that condemnation of Jones’ texts had come from both sides of the aisle. “Messages that have been swiftly condemned across the political aisle. The Republicans have tried to tie this to the — Congresswoman Spanberger, the gubernatorial candidate, she did very quickly denounce them.”
Spanberger did issue a statement voicing her “disgust” over the messages, but she — and many other Democrats stopped short of calling on him to drop out of the race:
<blockquote>&#8220;After learning of these comments earlier today, I spoke frankly with Jay about my disgust with what he had said and texted. I made clear to Jay that he must fully take responsibility for his words. What I have also made clear is that as a candidate — and the next Governor of our Commonwealth, I will always condemn violent language in our politics.&#8221;</blockquote>
“But it&#8217;s unclear whether this attorney general candidate will stay in the race,” Lemire concluded. “I think there&#8217;s a growing sense that he probably should not. We heard from President Trump last night, but even some Democrat leaders, John Heilemann, have started to say, look, this is inappropriate, you can&#8217;t — and especially at a time right now with such concern about violent rhetoric and political violence — that this is just way beyond the line.”
“Who says that?” Brzezinski interjected.
Heilemann agreed with Lemire’s take, adding, “I would say, not to be too much on the high horse, it’s wildly inappropriate under any circumstances — today, tomorrow, ten years ago, six months ago — I think the pressure is going to be on Spanberger to — and for the whole of the party to ask this candidate to just quit the race because just — both because it&#8217;s the right thing and also the political splash back.”

Virginia State House Speaker Don Scott, a Democrat, took to the pulpit at Mount Calvary Baptist Church on Sunday, where he cautioned members of the congregation not to be “distracted” by apparently insignificant details like text messages in the lead-up to an important election.
The reference was obvious, as Scott’s impassioned speech came just 48 hours after Jay Jones — the Democratic nominee for attorney general in his state — found himself at the center of a text scandal of his own making. In resurfaced messages from 2022, Jones had openly advocated for the assassination of a political opponent — and had said that he’d attend the funerals of Republican lawmakers to “piss on their graves.”

Virginia House Speaker Uses Church Pulpit To Double Down On Jay Jones

Virginia State House Speaker Uses Church Pulpit To Double Down On Jay Jones

Church

Legacy media outlets appear to have absolutely zero curiosity when it comes to the text-message scandal building around Jay Jones — the current Democratic nominee for state attorney general in Virginia — as evidenced by the glaring lack of coverage they gave it on the Sunday morning political talk shows.
For those who don&#8217;t spend their Sunday mornings glued to the television — and their Sunday afternoons attempting to dig through a week&#8217;s worth of network and cable news media spin — The Daily Wire has compiled a short summary of what you may have missed.
This week, what was most notable about media coverage across the networks was not where the spin was so mush as where it wasn&#8217;t. Less than 48 hours had passed since the texts — sent by Jones in 2022 and containing overt statements advocating for the assassination of a political opponent — went viral, and in that time, not one national Democrat had publicly condemned Jones or called for him to step out of the race. Despite all that, not one host of one show — &#8220;This Week&#8221; on ABC, &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; on CBS, &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; on NBC, or &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; on CNN — raised the question with their guests.
The topic did come up once — on &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; — but it was one of the guests who mentioned it during a panel discussion. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/former-biden-adviser-blows-off-despicable-jay-jones-texts-a-private-conversation">Marc Short</a>, who served as former Vice President Mike Pence&#8217;s chief of staff, mentioned Jones in the context of the many Democrats who had spent days in a public group meltdown over a few memes featuring House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) with a fake mustache and a sombrero.

“Can we stop with the pearl-clutching about the mean tweets and the sombrero tweets?” he asked. “This week it came to light that a Democrat candidate for attorney general in the state of Virginia called for the assassination of a political opponent, called for the assassination of that political opponent’s family, and there’s not one national Democrat calling for him to step aside — not one! It’s disgraceful.”
Host Kristen Welker conceded that the text scandal was likely to become a bigger story — but gave no insight as to why, if she believed that to be true, she had not raised the question herself. She then pivoted to Neera Tanden, who worked in former President Joe Biden&#8217;s White House, to address the situation.
&#8220;I mean, I absolutely think people should criticize that, 100%,” Tanden began, but then almost immediately attempted to turn the argument back on President Donald Trump. &#8220;I think it was a private conversation he had, but still awful and disgusting … it should be condemned, but then we should condemn that, but then you should condemn when the president calls the Democratic Party the ‘party of satan.&#8217;”
After some cross talk from both Short and Tanden, Short once again stressed his original point: that not one national Democrat had come out to condemn Jones or call for his resignation.
&#8220;The fact that not one Democrat has stood up when he called for a political assassination in this moment of political violence is crazy,&#8221; he said.
Jones had sent the texts in question three years earlier, in 2022, calling for former state House Speaker Todd Gilbert (R-VA) to be murdered. “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.”
In other messages, he&#8217;d also claimed that Gilbert would not change his political positions unless he and his wife had to watch one of their children die — and that he&#8217;d attend the funerals of Republican lawmakers in order to &#8220;piss on their graves.&#8221;
Vice President JD Vance also noted the lack of Democrats distancing themselves from Jones and his vile text messages, saying, &#8220;The Democrat candidate for AG in Virginia has been fantasizing about murdering his political opponents in private messages. I&#8217;m sure the people hyperventilating about sombrero memes will join me in calling for this very deranged person to drop out of the race.&#8221;

Gubernatorial candidate Winsome Sears (R-VA) hit Democrats in her state with a brutal ad after they failed to condemn their own candidate for state attorney general, Jay Jones, over resurfaced texts in which he advocated for violence against his political opponents.

The ad showed some of the fallout in reaction to the texts and other comments Jones had made, including saying that he&#8217;d attend the funerals of Republican lawmakers in order to &#8220;piss on their graves&#8221; and suggesting that Gilbert might change his political positions if he and his wife were forced to watch one of their children die.
Immediately after shining a light on Jones and his comments, the ad pivoted to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger and a few other Democratic candidates, none of whom have denounced Jones or called for him to bow out of the race.
In fact, Democrats in Virginia had largely <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/virginia-dems-say-candidate-who-fantasized-about-murdering-gop-leader-is-better-than-republicans">doubled down</a> on Jones, as The Daily Wire previously reported, suggesting that he was still better than any potential Republican alternative.

&#8220;Curbing the epidemic of political violence will require leaders who do not incessantly inflame routine partisan conflict,&#8221; the WaPo piece read. &#8220;But text messages that Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general, sent to a GOP legislator, which emerged Friday afternoon, cast doubt on whether he has the temperament to become the state&#8217;s top law enforcement officer.&#8221;

‘Reject The Insanity’: Winsome Sears Hits Virginia Dems With Ad Highlighting Vile Jay Jones Texts

'Reject The Insanity': Winsome Sears Hits Virginia Dems With Ad Highlighting Vile Jay Jones Texts

Winsome Sears

America is having a debate about political violence. Is it the fault of conservatives, or is it the fault of the side that wants to kill everyone who disagrees with them? This chin-scratcher of a conundrum has inspired people of good will from all over to come together with Democrats to try to find a solution.
For instance, in a recent discussion at Harvard University, left-wing students calmly and quietly presented their side of the issue, while right-wing students responded by screaming in terror as an angry mob chased them with pitchforks and torches. The come-together event was sponsored by the student group Kill All Fascists, with KAF President Vladimir Mohammed Jihad Alinsky telling the assembled rioters, “We must put an end to fascism by any means necessary. And some of you may ask, well, what do you mean when you say by any means necessary? And we must put an end to people who ask that by any means necessary. Because remember: silence is violence, so we must meet violence with violence until there’s silence, which is violence, which we must meet with violence, which is exactly like silence except you wear masks and beat people with metal rods. Remember: No justice, no peace. And injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere. So no peace until there’s justice everywhere, which will never happen, so we can beat the hell out of people forever and still feel great about ourselves.”
After Alinsky’s speech, the leftist students gathered for a friendly barbecue, but it had to be called off because all the Jews had escaped.
The New York Times, a former newspaper, also contributed to the national conversation with a think piece by Times editor Hannah Lyin-Ass Jones, the author of the famous 1619 Conspiracy, which declares that the founding of America was really a plot to destroy the economy of Africa by buying up all their slaves so there was no one left to mine the vibranium. Ms. Lyin-Ass Jones wrote, “You have to understand what violence is. When a black drug addict dies while resisting arrest and we pretend that’s evidence of systemic racism in order to incite riots in over 150 cities where businesses, homes and entire neighborhoods are left in ashes and at least 25 people are killed, that’s not violence. We need a totally different word for that, like Flower-Sunshine-ism or Skittery-Doodle-Happy-Time-atude or Black-Lives-Matter — something that sounds really nice and heartwarming. Violence is when Charlie Kirk says that Ketanji Brown Jackson doesn’t have the brain power to be a Supreme Court justice for no other reason than that she’s a black woman who doesn’t happen to have the brain power to be a Supreme Court justice. That is hate, and hate is violence and violence must be met with Skittery-Doodle-Happy-Time-atude until everyone who disagrees with us is dead.”

To get the conservative side of the argument, we visited an undisclosed location where half the staff of the Daily Wire is hiding under lockdown after receiving death threats from the pro-transgender group called “Say I’m A Woman or Die.” One staffer, who preferred to remain anonymous because he selfishly wants to live to be thirty, told us, “I’m sure with a magnifying glass and a spotlight you can find the occasional right-wing lunatic who wants to hurt someone, but that’s different from an entire leftist culture that demonizes disagreement as fascism so that over 50 percent of leftists believe it’s justifiable to…”
But at this point, the staffer was interrupted when a flaming arrow crashed through the window bearing a note from Say I’m A Woman or Die, that read, “Say I’m a Woman or Die!” The staffer angrily hurled the arrow back through the broken window and was immediately cited as an example of right-wing violence by The New York Times.
The incident was ridiculed that night by Jimmy Kimmel, whose courageous fight to ensure that every comedian on television has the same political opinion has won him the support of the Hollywood leftist group “Hate Donald Trump or Die!” The group issued a statement saying, “All right-wingers must be silenced and silence is violence, so it’s the right-wing that is violent because they’re silenced. Debate over.”
