"Back in 2022, Jones had told a former colleague in the state's House of Delegates that he would piss on the graves of Republican lawmakers, shoot then-Speaker Todd Gilbert (R) twice, and that he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her own child die in her arms so that Gilbert might reconsider his political views, The National Review reported on Friday, Brzezinski and the Morning Joe crew discussed the scandal on Monday:"
"NBC News reporting that Jones did not deny the accuracy of these texts on Friday night, and says he takes full responsibility for his actions. In a statement, he writes, I want to issue my deepest apology to Speaker Gilbert and his family. Reading back those words make me sick to my stomach. I'm embarrassed, ashamed, and sorry. Former congresswoman Abigail Spanberger, Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial nominee, swiftly condemned Jones's comments."
MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski reacted with utter disgust to violent sentiments expressed by Jay Jones, the Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general. In 2022 Jones told a House colleague he would piss on Republican graves, shoot then-Speaker Todd Gilbert twice, and wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her child die so Gilbert might reconsider his political views. NBC reported Jones did not deny the texts and issued an apology, calling the words sickening and expressing embarrassment and shame. Former congresswoman Abigail Spanberger condemned the comments. Bipartisan criticism has followed, and questions remain whether Jones will continue his campaign.
