What You Don't Condemn You Tolerate. Democrats need to stop tolerating political violence and hatred.

Jay Jones is just a symptom. Modern-day Democrats, once the Party of Peace and Love has become the Party of Hatred, Rage, and Violence.

Worse, they seem just fine with it.

Jay Jones is the Democratic Party nominated and endorsed candidate to be the next Attorney General for the State of Virginia. The Top Cop. Above reproach. The finest the state has to offer.

Recently leaked text messages clearly show someone who is anything but these things. In the texts, Jay Jones fantasizes about killing his political rival, then VA State Speaker Todd Gilbert (R) by stating "three people, two bullets," Gilbert, Hitler, Pol Pot...each time Gilbert gets two bullets to the head."

When a colleague who was on the receiving end of these texts disapproved of them, Jones doubled down. He then wished that Jennifer Gilbert, Todd's wife, would feel the pain of her own children dying in her arms and went on to say that Todd and Jennifer are "evil and were breeding little fascists" and that he wanted to put an end to all of that. Frightening and disturbing, huh? Clearly, the dark, twisted, violent musings of a madman. I'm not sure I'd want this dude collecting tolls at the tollbooth. But that's okay, say the Democrats, he's not gonna do that. He's just going to be the next Attorney General for all of Virginia, or so they hope. All the current VA democratic party candidates have refused to condemn Jay Jones and so, they tolerate these violent, hateful, soulless words. I thought Democrats were convinced words were violence. Guess not.

And every time the Democratic Party refuses to condemn political violence, in words or deeds, they slide further down a very dangerous, dark, and soulless path.

Peace and Love indeed.

Democrat leaders like AOC, Ilhan Omar and well, 56 of their Party colleagues could not bear to bring themselves to condemn the political assassination of Charlie Kirk. It was this or that they said. Lately, it always seems to be this or that on the Left.

Cold-blooded, cowardly killer Luigi Mangione? Well, gee, according to many on the Left he's a freedom fighter for lower insurance rates. Tyler Robinson? Well, he was really miffed over Charlie Kirk's words about his trans lover, so he had to kill another human being, father of two, and a husband. Joshua Juan? Seems he had visions of being a hero to the Left when he killed two ICE detainees in Dallas by mistake as he was aiming for ICE Agents.

As Jasmine Crockett said recently, don't blame her incendiary anti-ICE rhetoric or her calling Trump Hitler and ICE Agents the Gestapo. No connection between her words and their violence, she claims. Of course, she also claims that police presence and arresting criminals does not deter or lower crime. So, her inner logic may be beyond repair.

The list goes on and on. Democrat leaders Gavin Newsom (CA), JB Pritzker and Brandon Johnson (IL) Tina Kotek (Oregon), Zohran Mamdani (NYC), they all say the same thing. The Right are just fascists and Nazis, ICE is the Gestapo, and their cities are just fine. No emergency. Nothing to be alarmed about. Or, as one Democrat Councilwoman said, "Antifa just controls 1-2 blocks at most, it's nothing." And Tren de Aragua just controlled 1 or 2 apartments in Aurora (CO). No big deal said ABC's Martha Raddatz.

Tolerance leads to acceptance. And over time acceptance is no longer just a temporary choice. It is who you become. The Democrats have become what they used to reject. And we are all in more danger because of their choice.
