Democrat's Violent Texts Spark Political Firestorm

Virginia Democratic Attorney General candidate Jay Jones faces intense Republican backlash over past "explosive" texts suggesting the killing of the Republican speaker, comparing him to Hitler and Pol Pot. The three-year-old messages have sparked an outcry, with Republicans demanding gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger withdraw support. Jones has apologized, calling the texts a "grave mistake" and vowing to remain in the race, amid broader concerns about political violence in the U.S. The revelations complicate the closely watched Virginia elections.
