Senator Mark Warner, D -VA., Was silent when he was in a hurry by Fox News Digital as to whether Jerrauld “Jay” Jones – the candidate of his party for the Commonwealth Attorney General – should abandon the race after the texts surfaced representing the murder of the president of the Chamber of Virginia at the time, Todd Gilbert.
Warner, on the way to a closed-door briefing as vice-president of the Senate Intelligence Committee, avoided his gaze to a help speaking in the ear while the press converged.
When Warner left the elevator on the second floor of the building of the Philip Hart Senate office in Washington, he seemed to go along a loop corridor in the open air to go to the courtroom of the Senate Intelligence Committee, after spotting the press.
Jay Jones said that if more police had been killed, it would reduce civilian shots, according to the Virginia legislator
He was also registered to find out if he demanded that Jones return a donation of $ 25,000 to his campaign in August – which Fox News Digital reported on Tuesday – and if Warner regretted the gesture at this stage.
Fox News Digital discovered a Joint fund collection page For Jones and Warner on the main fundraising platform of the Democratic Party, Actblue, too.
“Senator Warner, do you want Jay Jones to abandon the race in Virginia?” Fox News Digital asked Warner, who continued to walk and focused on the ongoing comments of an assistant.
“These comments are acceptable-do you want Jay Jones to abandon,” interrupted other journalists.

Warner continued to walk, turned the corner to the briefing room, while the entourage exceeded a police officer of the American Capitol before the upper senator of the former Dominion plunged into the home reserved for the members of the committee.
Warner’s response, or his absence, clearly contrasts with the Junior Senator of Virginia, Tim Kaine, who told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that he was held under the candidate of the besieged millennium.
“Jay apologized,” Kaine said. “I have known Jay Jones for 25 years.”

“I think these statements were not of character, and he apologized – I hope that other people in public life sincerely apologize for things,” added the candidate for the 2016 Democrat.
Jones, a former delegate of Norfolk, in Virginia, faces growing calls to withdraw from the race, but with only mixed criticisms in this regard of Democratic legislators in Virginia such as the American Senators of the Commonwealth.
The texts received by Virginia del. Carrie Coyer, R-Chester, in 2022 and released at the National Review and Fox News Digital, represent Jones illustrating a choice between the shooting of the former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, the Cambodian dictator Pol Pot or the former president of the Chamber of Virginie, Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah.
Don of Dem Senator to the campaign of candidate AG disgraced returns to haunt him
Gilbert, said Jones, deserves “both bullets” – implicitly saving historically bad world leaders.
Jones is also criticized for logging, without any time, it is still highlighted, 1,000 hours of community service with the NAACP of Virginia and its political action committee.

Jones had been accused of reckless driving after accelerating 116 miles per hour on interstate 64 in the county of New Kent, Virginia.
New Kent, in Virginia, officials noted in Fox News Digital the right nature of this highly treated section of 64 – between the I -95 in Richmond and the Hampton roads and the Monirimac bridge tunnels in Norfolk – produced many speeding tickets.
Fox News Digital contacted Jones to comment and did not receive an answer.
