During the first and only debate for Virginia attorney general, Democrat Party candidate Jay Jones was pressed on why voters should trust his judgment after disturbing revelations resurfaced from 2022, when he made politically violent comments about wanting to kill his GOP rival and his reckless driving conviction.
Marston pressed him twice on why Virginians should trust his judgment after revelations of his violent remarks.
Instead of showing genuine remorse, Jones attempted to pivot, deflecting from his own disturbing words and bizarrely claiming that his moral high ground comes from being “held accountable by his party,” which is false.
Jones then launched into a tirade accusing Attorney General Jason Miyares of being “too weak” to stand up to President Trump, signaling that his campaign is less about law and order and more about partisan vendettas.
While Miyares focused on crime, border security, and protecting Virginia families, Jones made it clear his priority is political persecution of Trump, not serving the people of Virginia. Jones could only talk about his Trump Derangement Syndrome.
K. Brett Marston:
Why should voters trust your judgment moving forward?Jay Jones:
Well, look, Brett, I want to say one thing — Jason Miyares can’t prosecute a case against Donald Trump, that’s for sure. And I will also say this: I was held accountable by my party, and I deeply, deeply respect that. But what about when Donald Trump used incendiary language to incite a riot to try to overturn an election here in this country?What about when Winsome Sears used violent language about people who disagree with you and her in your extreme position on abortion? What about when John Reid shared Nazi porn? You haven’t said a word. I’ve taken accountability for my mistakes. It’s time you — we — take accountability, too.
K. Brett Marston:
And let me ask this one more time, Delegate Jones, just so we’re clear and the voters understand — why do you think they should trust your judgment based upon these two events that we’ve discussed?Jay Jones:
I’ve taken accountability for my mistakes, and I know that people in Virginia right now demand and deserve leaders who accept when they make mistakes, can acknowledge that, and have been held accountable.This job right now demands someone who will hold Donald Trump accountable. For the last nine months, Jason has had 50 chances to sue the administration — to protect us, to protect our workers, to protect our health care, to protect our K-12 funding, and funding for law enforcement. And his office hasn’t done a thing because he’s too weak and too scared to stand up to the President.
