The Issue: Texts from Virginia AG candidate Jay Jones fantasizing in regards to the killing of a GOP lawmaker.
Jay Jones, Virginia’s Democratic nominee for lawyer normal, is a whole fool (“Dems stand by strife of party,” Oct. 8).
His violent rhetoric about Republican Todd Gilbert was disgusting, vile and sickening. He is campaigning for the best law-enforcement place in his state but he advocated for the assassination of Gilbert and his household.
He ought to instantly withdraw from the race and from operating for public workplace ever again.
This is the sort of rhetoric that acquired Charlie Kirk killed. Jones can take his apologies and shove them you realize the place.

I agree wholeheartedly with Martin Gurri and Glenn H. Reynolds (“ ‘Resistance’ Insanity,” PostOpinion, Oct. 7) in terms of their denunciations of Jay Jones over his threats in opposition to Todd Gilbert and his household.
But I additionally assume that we have now to keep in mind that a lot of Republicans voted for a president who stated he might “shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it,” after which later incited an revolt that took the lives of 5 courageous police officers.
If we’re going to condemn Democrats who promote violence, we should additionally condemn Republicans who do the identical.

Not a single Democrat has demanded that Jay Jones, the African-American Democratic nominee for Virginia’s lawyer normal, step out of the race over his vile feedback about how Todd Gilbert ought to get two bullets to the pinnacle.
Let’s hope his complexion isn’t his safety.

The Issue: Post letters criticizing the lawyer normal’s responses to Democrats in a Senate listening to.
The Post revealed a number of readers’ letters criticizing Attorney General Pam Bondi for not answering questions from Democratic senators (“Bondi’s Chaotic Hearing: Pam Snaps Back at Dems,” Letters, Oct. 9).
Questions? I heard a nasty diatribe by Sen. Adam Schiff, a hypocritical speech about Chicago from Sen. Dick Durbin and a foolish recitation of the same old Democrat speaking factors by Sen. Mazie Hirono, amongst others.
These served no actual objective and have been the same old partisan, mean-spirited assaults on President Trump: Speeches laced with vitriol and insults.

When I learn final Thursday’s letters, I assumed I’d picked up The New York “Slimes” by mistake.
All 4 letters have been knocking Bondi, who was solely attempting to implement the Herculean process of getting creeps like Schiff and Sen. Richard Blumenthal to stop mendacity.
This is one of the very uncommon instances that I say, “Shame on you, editors.”

I used to be amazed to see solely one-sided letters printed in The Post regarding Pam Bondi’s response to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s questioning.
Every assertion she gave was spot on — why all of the damaging reactions?
