From the Washington Examiner: The campaign of Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares is spending $1.5 million on an ad campaign highlighting disturbing, violent texts from his Democratic opponent, Jay Jones.
Texts first obtained and published by the National Review on Friday, and later confirmed by Jones, featured Jones sharing violent fantasies about former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert, saying he wished he could murder him. He also wished death upon his two young children, whom he dubbed “little fascists.” Miyares’s campaign is now broadcasting the messages around Virginia as part of an ad campaign ahead of next month’s election.
“The Washington Post confirms: Jay Jones sent texts that imagined shooting the Republican Speaker of the House,” a narrator says in the ad as the messages were displayed on screen. “It’s so disgusting, but it’s true.”
The ad displayed the plethora of news outlets reporting on and confirming the messages.

Just an hour later Miyares struck again, releasing another ad that revealed Jay Jones was once busted for driving 116 miles per hour on the interstate.
“Then, he tried to claim campaign work for his own PAC counted as community service to avoid jail. Jay Jones is too soft-on-crime — including his own,” the ad says.
Jay Jones was caught recklessly driving 116 miles per hour on I-64.

Miyares re-posted another ad originally released in August, and explained, “Under Jay Jones’ early release policy, a convicted child predator was released early from prison. After his release, he groomed and assaulted an 11-year-old girl—an avoidable tragedy caused by reckless policymaking that put ideology ahead of public safety.”
