Virginia Democrats are now all about rage and openly embrace it.
As I wrote yesterday, former Congresswoman and current candidate for governor Abigail Spanberger has been running her campaign on a platform of rage, and when confronted with the fact that the Democratic candidate for Attorney General admitted that he would murder a fellow politician and love to see his kids dead, she embraced his candidacy.
Jay Jones "wished Gilbert's wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views."

The monsters at the Virginia teachers union are still endorsing him.
Disgraceful, @VEA4Kids. https://t.co/LmdoYuhVId
The Virginia Democratic Party has also reaffirmed its support of Jay Jones, as has the teachers' union, unsurprisingly. The Democratic Party in the state, where a vast number of federal employees, who form one of the pillars of the party, is determined to double down on "rage" as the motivating force for political action.
There it is. Virginia Democrats officially support a guy who thinks your kids are fascists and wants them dead. It's not a one-off, it's not an aberration. This is the belief of the people who actually run the party itself. https://t.co/FBXhDM9iMV

Jones has issued a non-apology apology-"I'm sorry I got caught"-style--and after that landed with a thud a somewhat more self-abasing statement, but it's obvious that he and Democrats are just engaged in damage control.
Jay Jones wished death on children and fantasized about killing people.

Abigail Spanberger’s response was empty—she condemned the rhetoric but stopped short of saying what any serious leader would: Jay Jones must drop out.
Her response is simply not good enough. pic.twitter.com/7QPTjV3D8l
The Washington Post isn't buying it, although we will never know if that would have been the case prior to Jeff Bezos' cleaning out the Augean Stables of its newsroom, editorial board, and Opinion section.
When a Democrat has lost The Washington Post, he’s got big problems.

Jay Jones should do the right thing and withdraw from the race.
Abigail Spanberger and Ghazala Hashmi should do the right thing and call on Jay Jones to withdraw.

Jones is currently ahead in the polls--although we don't know what the impact of these revelations will be--and we shouldn't assume his campaign is over yet. If he is forced out, we already know it will only be because the Virginia Democrats have been forced to toss him over the side.

We know that because their first reaction was to circle the wagons around him and hope that this psychopath can ride out the storm. They actually want the next Attorney General of Virginia to be a man who brags about wanting to see his political opponent dead and his children to die in their mother's arms.
Jay Jones will fantasize about murdering the children of his political opponents but also claim it’s terrorizing children to not “change their gender.”

Democrats who consider themselves moderate or centrist will twist and turn, explaining away why Trump posting Democrats in Sombreros is outside the bounds of polite political discourse, and then explain away why wishing your opponents dead and their children to die in their mother's arms is tasteless, but totally acceptable.

They have watched their friends and people they admire openly celebrate the assassination attempt on Trump, the murder of Corey Comperatore, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and stick by them. They may find it distasteful that their friends and allies are bloodthirsty, but not disqualifying in the way that Trump's crudeness in language is.
Democrats will rush to the defense of Antifa, fund their lawyers, and praise their activism. They will fly halfway around the world to turn a MS-13 gang member into an admirable symbol of resistance to Donald Trump, and spend weeks demonizing Charlie Kirk after his assassination because they disagreed with him.
If Jay Jones remains in the race for Attorney General--that's likely, because the voting has already begun (because of insanely stupid electoral laws)--he will certainly get more than a million votes, and probably more than a million and a half. He could win, despite these revelations.
Democrats will fool themselves into believing that they are not voting for the candidate of rage, or justify that rage based on hatred of Donald Trump. Trump is so evil--he is Sombrero man!--that electing a psychopath is justified.
It is the kind thing to do, right?
