From the Washington Free Beacon: Mavis Jones, the wife of Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones (D.), donated to a bail fund that frees murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals from jail, and urged her followers to do the same.
“I just donated to the Minnesota freedom fund,” Mavis Jones posted to X in May 2020, as Black Lives Matter rioters wreaked havoc in Minneapolis in the days following George Floyd’s death, and just months before marrying Jay Jones. She also linked to the group’s donation page before adding, “please consider doing the same or donating to any of the *legitimate* organizations supporting protesters.”
The Minnesota Freedom Fund, which former vice president Kamala Harris promoted two days later, raised more than $41 million in 2020, but the group only used a small fraction—$210,000—to bail rioters out of jail. The remaining funds helped post bail for violent criminals such as Christopher Boswell, a twice-convicted rapist who was freed from jail in 2020 pending kidnapping and sexual assault charges after the fund paid $350,000 for his release.
Mavis Jones’s donation is just the latest revelation as her husband faces questions over his commitment to law and order as he aims to become Virginia’s top cop. This month, texts surfaced showing him fantasizing about putting “two bullets to the head” of a GOP lawmaker and the death of that lawmaker’s children while musing about whether police officers would “stop shooting people” if “a few of them died.”
After details of Mavis Jones’s social media posts were highlighted by the Free Beacon, she has now taken her X account private.
