Democrat Squirms as GOP Debate Rival Hammers Her for Ducking Jay Jones Endorsement: Third Time's a Charm!'

"Earle-Sears seized the opening, turning a question on Virginia's car tax into a personal confrontation. My opponent needs to answer about Jay Jones, she demanded, before pressing further: You have little girls. What would it take? Him pulling the trigger? Jones, who has apologized for the leaked 2022 messages, reignited anger just weeks after the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk and the assault on Minnesota lawmakers."

"MODERATOR: I didn't hear an answer on Jay Jones. ABIGAIL SPANBERGER: In fact, it appears that it was the those who released the text messages and held them for years so the public was unaware who had knowledge of these text messages. WINSOME EARLE-SEARS: When did you know, and what did you do about it? SPANBERGER: I learned of these text messages the day that they came out and I denounced them as soon as I learned of them."

At a Norfolk State University debate, Republican Winsome Earle-Sears repeatedly confronted Democrat Abigail Spanberger over her endorsement of attorney general nominee Jay Jones. Earle-Sears pressed Jones's leaked 2022 text suggesting a rival should get two bullets to the head and asked whether Jones would pull the trigger, invoking concern for Spanberger's daughters. Jones apologized for the messages, which reignited anger after recent political violence. Spanberger denounced the messages, said she learned of them when they were released, and refused to withdraw her endorsement, arguing voters now have the information to decide.
