    Winsome and Abigail are in a heated battle for governor of Virginia. They had a debate the other day that went viral. Abigail refuses to ask Jay Jones to step down after it was discovered that he sent some vile texts promoting political violence. Winsome is holding her feet to the fire. They tried to fight back with this issue but Winsome immediately condemned the racist text thread.



    Some of the texts in question:

    That should absolutely be disqualifying. No way he should continue as AG.

      You've a lot of radicalized culture-war obsessed youngsters taking over the GOP.

      Vance doesn't help by downplaying this stuff. Constantly. When someone was let go from DOGE for fascist shit, he whined and kvetched and got him rehired .

      Elon Musk has said he will rehire an employee of his newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) who resigned after being linked to a racist social media account.

      "He will be brought back," Musk posted on X, the social media platform he owns. "To err is human, to forgive divine."

      Media reports tied Marko Elez, 25, who previously worked for Musk's SpaceX company, to a now-deleted social media account that posted the incendiary comments.

      Vice-President JD Vance had said earlier in the day that the young employee should be given a second chance.

        Interestingly, the former MAGA Prom Queen MTG seems to be becoming the exception to the exception.

          Oh it gets better. While he was AG he got caught speeding at 116 mph. That is normally 6-mo jail term in Va, but he got community service and his community service was working on his own re-election campaign. Allegedly.

            If we are still talking about Jay Jones, he has never been the AG. He ran for AG in 2021 and lost, and is of course running now. He was a Virginia State Delegate though.

              I don't think "no repercussions" is accurate here.

                Vance of course is defending it.

                    Listening to him before being chosen as VP I thought he may be the common sense needed in the WH, turns out he's a Trump Jr, he's been terrible.

                      As JL noted, he's soulless, ever trying to divine what Trump and/or MAGA may be thinking and how they might react.

                      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                        Bad College Republican leaders!

                        I think anyone who posted controversial messages in the text thread should step down or be demoted.

                          Not JD Vance, apparently. Kids will be kids!

                            Absent from that article was the self-described "General counsel" of the NY state young republicans, Joe Maligno, an associate court attorney working for the New York State Unified Court District. He was fired, and his socials nuked. Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, all gone.

                                He's got a point. I don't think their lives should be ruined by this. However, I think there should be some accountability.
