Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine don’t want to talk about Virginia Democrat Attorney General candidate Jay Jones’ calls for the assassination of a Republican political opponent AND his family.
In the wake of recent political violence, neither Virginia Senator has called on Jones to withdraw from the race. Even worse, Warner’s first and only statement appeared to cast doubt on the texts’ legitimacy despite Jones admitting to their authenticity. Warner also donated $25,000 to Jones’ campaign. When asked about the text messages, Mark Warner continually refuses to comment.
“Mark Warner has endorsed, donated to, and fundraised with Jay Jones, but won’t say whether he still supports him to be Virginia’s Attorney General after Jones called for the murder of a political opponent and his children,” said NRSC Regional Press Secretary Samantha Cantrell. “As Americans continue to grapple with Charlie Kirk’s assassination, the answer should be easy. Jay Jones is not fit for office and Mark Warner should rescind his support and call for him to step aside immediately.”
