"Let your RAGE fuel you" 

-Abigail Spanberger

That's my Democrat opponent's message, Friend. She’s traveled all over the Commonwealth telling radical liberals to embrace rage. She wants Democrats to lean into anger and hatred. It’s a sick, un-Christian message and it’s NOT what we need in Virginia or our nation right now.

Now it’s come out that her partner on the ticket this November, Jay Jones, fantasized about committing violence against his political opponent. All because they didn’t agree about politics. Political violence of any kind is totally unacceptable and completely disqualifying from holding political office. 

My opponent has stood by Jay Jones even with full knowledge of his vile comments. Every day Spanberger stands by Jay Jones, she legitimizes his fantasy of committing violence against his political opponent.

Jay Jones’ comments make me sick to my stomach, and Abigail Spanberger’s tacit approval of what he said is absolutely revolting. I’ve put everything I’ve got into winning this race so we can make our communities safer and build a brighter future in the Commonwealth. Now, conservatives are facing the threat of violence in a way I never could’ve imagined. 

We have never seen the threat of political violence against conservatives like this in our Commonwealth. We cannot let unhinged radicals like Jay Jones and Abigail Spanberger win in November. 

I cannot stress how important it is that we win this race to soundly REJECT Spanberger and Jones' calls for political violence in our Commonwealth and across the nation. Thank you for your support, Friend.
