OPINION
Are Democrats the Party of Murder?

Why are so many Democrats fond of wishing death on their opponents? That's a question raised by two astonishing developments early this month. On Oct. 3, National Review's Audrey Fahlberg revealed texts Jay Jones had sent, perhaps mistakenly, to Virginia state Del. Carrie Coyner, bemoaning the cordial remarks then-Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, a Republican, was delivering after the death of a Democrat.
"If those guys die before me," Jones wrote, "I will go to their funerals to p-- on their graves. Send them out awash in something." Prompted, he goes on. "Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, hitler, and pol pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time."
In a phone follow-up to his colleague, Jones told her he wished Gilbert's wife could watch her children die in her arms. When she hung up, Jones explained, "Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy."
Chilling stuff, especially read now in the month after the murder of Charlie Kirk by a leftist young man with a transgender lover. Not surprisingly, the Democratic nominee for governor, former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, and the state's two Democratic senators, Mark Warner and Tim Kaine, condemned his words.
Some Jones backers withdrew their support. Anti-Trump conservative New York Times columnist David French and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said he should withdraw from the race.
Everytown for Gun Safety, which had contributed $200,000 to his campaign, scrubbed its Jones endorsement from its website.
But neither Spanberger, Warner and Kaine, nor any Democratic officeholder or candidate, so far as I am aware, has withdrawn their endorsement or called on him to quit. He should be "accountable" for his words but not so accountable as to lose their endorsement for an office for which his words suggest he is temperamentally unsuited. Perhaps they hope he can still win the election -- he's been ahead in polls -- and then will conveniently resign to be replaced by what seems likely to be a Democratic-majority legislature.
