VA Dems Soft-on-Crime AG Nominee Was Clocked

We’ve been overlaying Virginia’s gubernatorial race fairly a bit right here on the pages of RedState, but there are a few other statewide elections going on in the commonwealth that deserve some of our consideration. And they deserve our consideration because of how reckless and radical your entire Democrat ticket is this 12 months.

Let’s speak about Jay Jones, 36, a former member of the House of Delegates who is the Democrat nominee to be Attorney General. He’s taking on incumbent Republican Jason Miyares, who swept into workplace 4 years in the past (alongside Glenn Youngkin and Winsome Earle-Sears) on a wave of parental anger over COVID lockdowns and out-of-control leftist faculty boards. Four years on, the Dems appear to have discovered nothing and are working far-left radical Jay Jones at a time when many of Virginia’s public faculties, to the dismay of numerous dad and mom, have been overtaken by the novel trans agenda.

We’ll get to Jay Jones’ report in a second, but let’s first speak about his penchant for reckless driving. As it seems, Jones, recent off his unsuccessful 2021 marketing campaign to be AG, was clocked by a Virginia state trooper going a whopping 116 miles per hour on I-64; that’s full 46 over the pace restrict.

Nick Minock, of ABC7 in Washington, D.C., had the main points:

New: Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones is reacting to new reporting that he was convicted of reckless driving after rushing at 116 mph – one 12 months after he ran for AG the first time. 

“Several years ago, I made the mistake of speeding, for which I am regretful,” Jones told @7NewsDC[.] “I accepted responsibility for my actions, paid the fine, and fulfilled my responsibility to the court, which was accepted by the New Kent County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and the judge.”

Here’s the best half — he was sentenced to 500 hours of neighborhood service and he did all his “service time” at his own PAC. Would we call that “self-serving”? What a joke.

When you peel the layers back even more, you discover that Jay Jones did not just go tender on himself, he also opted to go tender on criminals when he voted against laws that would impose a minimal necessary jail sentence of 60-days for repeat home abusers and opposed legal guidelines that would impose harsh prison penalties on convicted fentanyl sellers. 

That’s not all:

[Jones] also supported a invoice to roll back necessary law enforcement reporting necessities for faculty principals for misdemeanors dedicated on faculty grounds, including inappropriate abuse and battery, and opposed laws to charge therapeutic massage and bodily therapists who inappropriately abuse sufferers with aggravated inappropriate battery.

Jones says his 116 mph joyride was a “mistake,” but his legislative report reveals it isn’t just his driving that’s out of control — it’s also his far-left priorities. He’s tender on abusers, tender on fentanyl pushers, and apparently fairly tender on himself, too. Virginians may need to assume about electing an Attorney General who enforces the law, not one who runs from it.
