Jolanda Jones Makes Throat-Slashing Gesture Over Republicans
"I'm from the hood, okay? So when a bully comes, like, if there are no rules, you literally have to figure it out. So Donald Trump has changed things, and people trying to do what's always been done is not going to work. And I think that's why Democrats are losing Black people. That's why they're losing poor people, because poor people all they want is for us to fight."
"When the first lady said, when they go low, we go high, I've never subscribed to that. Because in the hood that I come from, when they go low, if you go high, they're going to take your feet out from under you and you will not recover from that. And so you've got to fight like we've never fought before. This country is under attack."
Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones, a Democratic candidate for U.S. House, rejected Michelle Obama's 'when they go low, we go high' mantra during a CNN OutFront appearance and urged more aggressive tactics. Jones said Donald Trump is at war with America and described her outlook as coming 'from the hood,' arguing that when a bully operates without rules one must 'figure it out.' Jones demonstrated a throat-slashing gesture while saying she would 'go across your neck' and called for Democrats to 'wipe out' Republicans in elections and redistricting. The remarks drew GOP criticism, including from Rep. Dan Crenshaw, amid concerns after the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
