Host / other voice“if he had two bullets in his gun and he had Hitler and what do you say, Hitler and Pol Pot in a room that he wouldn't shoot either of them. He'd shoot and kill with both bullets, the Republican, in the State House in Virginia, and that he wanted his little children as baby children to die in the arms of their mother.”
Host / other voice“the current Attorney General in Virginia, why he wanted to murder the Republican Speaker of the House? Because that man had the audacity to say nice things about a Democrat at that dead Democrat's funeral.”
Host / other voice“Someone involved in all of this is the Attorney General, Jay Jones, who famously made his bones fantasizing about the murders of Republican politicians and their young children and got elected anyway.”
Host / other voice“I think Jay Jones is the only one where you look at and you say, boy, this was disgusting. I mean, the attorney general who said that he wanted to kill his political opponent's kids and piss on their graves.”
Host / other voice“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert meeting Todd Gilbert, the Speaker of the House down there in Virginia at the time. Hitler and Pol Pot. Spoiler. Put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know, and he receives both bullets every time.”
Host / other voice“Even Jay Jones, the Virginia Attorney General Candid, whose violent texts arguably should disqualify him, I mean, or something. It's pretty astonishing. He won fairly easily in the Virginia AG's race as well.”
Host / other voice“Jay Jones sent texts to a Republican colleague when they're in special session. And what it said was, is that if you have Pol Pot, Mao, and the speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, And you had two bullets. Who are you going to shoot, basically, is what he was saying.”
Host / other voice“When the chief law enforcement officer in the state of Virginia wants to put two bullets in the head of his political opponent and watch the opponent's children die in their mother's arms, we got problems.”
Host / other voice“Jay Jones won in Virginia as the Attorney General, the definition of sort of an empty suit just with a party affiliation next to him, who openly fantasized in text messages about killing members of the other party.”
Host / other voice“the attorney general race was kind of notable because the incumbent Republican Jason Mierrez was kicked out by the Democratic candidate Jay Jones. That's notable. Because Jay Jones, text messages were uncovered in which Jay Jones said that the then House Speaker should be killed along with some Republican children, not language that I would ever endorse or use. And despite that, still one.”
Host / other voice“Pretty much everything went right in that election for Republicans. You had a massive scandal that broke as we were leading up to the election. The candidate that they chose wasn't really an effective one anyway. The Republican running has had success. He wasn't like he was involved in scandal or he had done a bad job. And still, Jay Jones was able to overcome all of that and win.”
Host / other voice“Jay Minaris is out as Attorney General. He was beat by Jay Jones with those horrific text messages when he talked about shooting his opponent and his family, going 100 miles an hour and getting a speeding ticket and getting off light.”
