A leaked chat from young Republican activists shows racial slurs and comments praising Hitler. Many Democrats were quick to condemn this act. Some of these same Democrats continue to remain mum on violent rhetoric from a Democrat candidate. Democrat nominee for Virginia’s attorney general, Jay Jones, was exposed as suggesting that his opponent get shot. He further suggested that seeing kids die in their mother’s arms would spur the Republicans to take action favoring gun control.<\/p>\n

Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump separately slammed Democrats who continue to back Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones as his campaign unravels over texts envisioning the murder of a former top Republican lawmaker and his young children.<\/p>\n

Jones — who sent messages claiming he would shoot former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah, over Cambodian dictator Pol Pot and former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler — will also face off with incumbent Attorney General Jason Miyares at the University of Richmond on Thursday in their sole debate.<\/p>\n

Vance also appeared to respond to outrage over a leaked group chat, first reported by Politico, in which young Republican activists — many from New York — praised Hitler and used racist slurs, reportedly referring to African Americans as “watermelon people.”<\/p>\n

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has not publicly denounced Jones or called for him to drop out, but immediately demanded “every Republican from President Trump on down” condemn the group chat “unequivocally.”<\/p>\n

Vance pushed back, tweeting that he wouldn’t join the outrage given Democrats’ silence on Jones.<\/p>\n

“This is far worse than anything said in a college group chat, and the guy who said it could become the AG of Virginia,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I refuse to join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence,” Vance said, sharing a snippet of Jones’ text to Virginia Del. Carrie Coyner, R-Hopewell, that read: “only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy.”<\/p>\n

Speaking during a ceremony eulogizing conservative activist Charlie Kirk, who was allegedly murdered by a left-wing extremist, Trump said political violence and violent rhetoric from the left must stop.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
