Virginia Dem attorney general candidate's texts about putting bullets in Republicans leaked

 October 4, 2025

There's simply no way around it -- the "tolerant" left's seemingly never-ending supply of violent rhetoric is a problem, and we've seen that play out at every level over the past year, and especially the past month.

According to Fox News, Virginia Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones, once made a disgusting remark involving shooting the Virginia House speaker.

The nasty texts were revealed this week and were obtained by Fox News Digital. They show that the "politics of rage" is a real thing on the left, and it's not only dangerous, but life-threatening.

The texts, which were between Jones and Del. Carrie Coyner, R-Chester, were referencing the death of Del. Joe Johnson, D-Bristol.

What's going on?

Jones' texts were absolutely disgusting and disrespectful.

Fox News noted:

At the time, several House Republicans — including leadership — offered eulogizing words for Johnson, who had been known as an aisle-crossing, friendly moderate. One of those who had kind words for Johnson was then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah.

Jones apparently wasn't happy with the late Democratic delegate's ability to cross the political aisle and actually do what's right for the people of the state.

Jones told Coyner in a text that Johnson "leaked everything to your [Republican] caucus. It’s why Gilbert gave him such a glowing tribute."

"If those guys die before me, I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves," Jones continued. "Send them out awash in something."

Fox News added:

At that point, Coyner appeared to attempt to rein in the conversation, texting, "Jay Jones."

But Jones continued, adding, "Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head."

"Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time," Jones continued.

It's like he knew he messed up

Coyner had tried to get Jones to stop with the rhetoric several times, finally texting back, "Jay. Please stop."

According to the outlet, it was then that Jones made a phone call to Coyner, reportedly to lighten the mood after the nasty texts regarding putting bullets in the men he referenced.

Coyner's spokesperson confirmed the texts, and clearly knew to distance from Jones as a result.

"Jay Jones wished violence on the children of a colleague and joked about shooting Todd Gilbert. It's disgusting and unbecoming of any public official," the spokesperson said.
