Jay Jones, Virginia\u2019s embattled Democratic attorney general candidate, once allegedly suggested that if more police officers were killed, they would shoot fewer people, a former colleague in the state legislature said.<\/p>\n

Republican Del. Carrie Coyner told Virginia Scope on Monday that during a 2020 conversation about qualified immunity, she told Jones that without the legal protection, police officers would get killed, the New York Post<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

“Well, maybe if a few of them died, that they would move on, not shooting people, not killing people,” Jones responded, according to Coyner.<\/p>\n

LIBERAL MSNBC PANELIST CALLS FOR VIRGINIA AG CANDIDATE TO DROP OUT OVER VIOLENT TEXT MESSAGES<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Jones was already under fire after Coyner previously revealed 2022 text exchanges in which he suggested he would shoot then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert over Adolf Hitler. He also said Gilbert and his wife should have to watch his “fascist” children die.<\/p>\n

At one point, Jones wrote, “Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.”<\/p>\n

Jones is now facing calls from Republicans<\/a> to drop out of the attorney general race.<\/p>\n

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Coyner said Jones, a Democrat, is unfit for office.<\/p>\n

“My position is very clear. It is never acceptable to think that killing people is a justifiable method to achieve policy changes. Period. Anyone that advocates for killing someone for disagreeing with them is not qualified to serve,” Coyner said.<\/p>\n

YOUNGKIN PRESSES DEMS TO PUSH JAY JONES OFF VIRGINIA AG TICKET AFTER ‘BEYOND DISQUALIFYING’ MESSAGES SURFACE<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Jones denied the new allegations.<\/p>\n

“I did not say this. I have never believed and do not believe that any harm should come to law enforcement, period. Every single day, police officers put their lives on the line to protect our communities, and I am deeply grateful for their service and sacrifice. As Attorney General, I will work hand-in-hand with law enforcement to support their work,” Jones told Virginia Scope.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to Coyner and Jones.<\/p>\n

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin<\/a> said Jones should abandon his campaign in light of the messages, saying they were “beyond disqualifying.”<\/p>\n

“This violent, disgusting rhetoric targeted at an elected official and his children is beyond disqualifying,” Youngkin wrote in an X post Saturday. “Jay Jones said that \u2018Gilbert gets two bullets to the head\u2019 and then hoped his children would die. Read those words again.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, no high-level Democrats<\/a> have come out against Jones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
