I am wondering how Trump's admin got ahold of these text messages? Considering all the outrage about the "spying" on 8 senators, actually stealing messages seem like a big deal too.

I didn't see any references to an investigation, warrant, or subpoena that would justify them having these messages.

But texts may be released where the R candidate willfully and knowingly misgenders someone.

Call me out of touch but I view wishing a double tap to the head and hoping women's children die in their arms on a different level than intentionally misgendering someone.

One reflects poor character, one was in poor taste.

He was rage-texting a Republican who then released the texts. He initially intended them for a fellow Democrat. When the republican who received them admonished him, he tripled down. Throughout the exchange, she apparently asked him to stop, as she was uncomfortable with the exchange. I believe he then called her and continued on the phone.



I believe this is the original reporting:

On August 8, 2022, a Republican state legislator received a disturbing string of early-morning text messages from a former colleague, Jay Jones, this year’s Democratic nominee for Virginia attorney general.

And:



But Mr. Jones’s invective against Republicans in the chamber escalated as his exchange with Ms. Coyner continued.

...​


At one point, he remarked that he would “piss on” the graves of certain Republican delegates when they died. He went on to posit a hypothetical scenario in which he had a gun, two bullets, and the choice to shoot Adolf Hitler, the former Cambodian dictator Pol Pot, and then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican. In such a scenario, Mr. Jones said, he would shoot Mr. Gilbert twice.
“Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Mr. Jones wrote.
A spokesman for Ms. Coyner provided context on Tuesday for that particular comment. The spokesman said Mr. Jones made the remark as Mr. Gilbert took his turn on the statehouse floor to eulogize Mr. Johnson.
Ms. Coyner pushed back on Mr. Jones’s remarks at several points in their exchange, saying it bothered her when he talked about wishing harm or death on others. According to Ms. Coyner’s spokesman, the two then spoke over the phone, and Mr. Jones discussed the hypothetical death of Mr. Gilbert’s children.

'I hope all Republicans die': Democratic voters expose America's terrifying reality after Charlie Kirk assassination​


Text messages from Democratic voters in Virginia have exposed the radical views harbored by some supporters of Jay Jones, the party's nominee for attorney general in a critical swing district race.

Jones sparked outrage last week when text messages surfaced showing him gloating about putting 'two bullets' through the head of former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican.

In the same exchange, Jones suggested Gilbert was 'breeding little fascists' — a disturbing reference to the Speaker's two young children.

Family Foundation Action, a conservative grassroots organization based in Richmond, Virginia, decided to test voter sentiment by sending Get Out The Vote (GOTV) texts to residents in several swing districts.

The messages highlighted Jones's scandal and tied him to the 'radical left.'

The responses they received were chilling.

'I hope all the Republicans die. They're ruining our country. If I could shoot them myself, I would,' read one reply from a voter who received the text.

The screenshots collected by Family Foundation Action reveal that rather than condemning Jones's violent rhetoric, some Democratic voters in these battleground areas actively praised and echoed his extreme views. Sentiments from Jones's supporters are increasingly alarming today, still less than one month since the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

Spanberger Refuses to Urge Jay Jones to Exit Race, Dodges Questions after ‘Two Bullets’ Texts​


Democrat Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger faced repeated questioning during Thursday’s debate over her continued support for attorney general candidate Jay Jones, after text messages surfaced in which he fantasized about putting "two bullets" in the head of then-Republican Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert.

Both the debate moderators and her Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, repeatedly asked Spanberger whether she still endorses Jones, but Spanberger did not say outright that she no longer endorsed him.

Spanberger also would not say when she became aware of the inflammatory text messages, which also included violent rhetoric about Gilbert's children.


"Jay Jones advocated the murder – Abigail – the murder of a man, a former speaker, as well as his children who were two years and five years old. You have little girls. Would it take him pulling the trigger? Is that what would do it?" Earle-Sears asked. "Please ask him to get out of the race. Have some courage."

Republicans are bullish about a statewide race in Virginia this year after recent revelations the Democratic attorney general nominee sent texts wishing violence on his political adversaries.

President Donald Trump and Republicans have seized on the messages from Jay Jones, who wrote a Republican colleague about “bullets” intended for then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert. The messages, unearthed a month before the off-cycle election, have given the GOP hope that Virginia’s incumbent attorney general, Jason Miyares, could emerge victorious in what otherwise appears to be a tough bellwether year for them.

The texts, released three weeks after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, plays into Trump’s narrative that the political left increasingly courts violent extremism. And, Republicans argue, Democrats’ resistance to force Jones off the ticket only underscores that message.


Republicans clearly see an opening to take out Jones, who had been leading in the polls, and some privately acknowledge the longer Democrats — particularly the party’s nominee for governor, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger — stick by him, the more it allows the GOP to go on the offense in the final weeks before Election Day.

Don't this guy look like a fake Tiger Woods?

The statements by this man are evil and repulsive. Even the person he messaged was shocked.

Apparently he received 500 community service hours for reckless driving and spent half of them working for his PAC. Seems to just be an absolute bag of **** human.
