Trump savages Virginia’s ‘weak’ Dem gubernatorial nominee for not disavowing Jay Jones over vile texts

WASHINGTON — President Trump savaged Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger for not having the courage to cut ties with the state’s progressive Attorney General contender — as he called on Jay Jones to drop out of the race.

The president’s wrath came after vile text messages Jones sent in 2022 resurfaced on Friday, showing him fantasizing about then-Republican state House Speaker Todd Gilbert being assassinated.

Dems have shamelessly stood by Jones and Spanberger has refused to disavow him.

“It has just come out that the Radical Left Lunatic, Jay Jones, who is running against Jason Miyares, the GREAT Attorney General in Virginia, made SICK and DEMENTED jokes,” Trump raged on Truth Social Sunday.

“If they were jokes at all, which were not funny, and that he wrote down and sent around to people, concerning the murdering of a Republican Legislator, his wife, and their children.”

Initially, Jones responded to the revelations by refusing to apologize and blasting his foe, incumbent AG Jason Miyares of “dropping smears” against him. Then he claimed to have reached out Gilbert and his wife to apologize for his “grave mistake.”

Spanberger, the frontrunner in the Virginia governor’s race, denounced Jones’ sickening text messages but declined to call on him to drop out.

“Abigail Spanberger, who is running for Governor, is weak and ineffective, and refuses to acknowledge what this Lunatic has done,” Trump seethed. “Even Democrats are saying it is ‘RESIGNATION FROM CAMPAIGN’ TERRITORY. Democrat Jay Jones should drop out of the Race, IMMEDIATELY.”
