Democratic Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones is facing calls to withdraw from the race after he sent shocking private messages fantasizing about murdering a Republican lawmaker and wishing death on his family.

According to text messages, Jones — a former Virginia state delegate — told then–House Delegate Carrie Coyner that he wanted to give former Republican Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert “two bullets to the head” and urinate on his grave, Western Journal

The disturbing messages were sent in August 2022, months after Jones left the state house. He is now the Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general, running against Republican incumbent Jason Miyares in November.

The National Review first obtained the content of the texts.“I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves… [to] send them out awash in something,” Jones allegedly wrote, referring to Gilbert and other Republican colleagues. He added that if given a gun with two bullets and faced with Gilbert and two dictators, “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 texted Coyner.

Coyner urged Jones to stop, “Please stop. It really bothers me when you talk about hurting people or wishing death on them… no matter who they are.” Jones dismissed her concerns, replying “Lol” and “Ok, ok.”
