Concha and others argue that the Democratic Party&#8217;s silence effectively gives Jones a &#8220;permission slip to violence.&#8221; While some Democrats, including gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger, have condemned Jones&#8217;s texts, none have publicly called for him to drop out. meanwhile, Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, have urged Democrats to remove Jones from the race. The controversy remains a point of political debate amid the Virginia election campaign. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Joe Concha says Jay Jones&rsquo;s campaign is the Democratic Party&rsquo;s &lsquo;permission slip to violence&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2367495\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><em>Washington Examiner<\/em> senior writer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/in_focus\/3840744\/jay-jones-democratic-party-violent-left\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe Concha<\/a> slammed the Democratic Party for refusing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/state\/3842827\/nancy-pelosi-insists-jay-jones-better-person-to-be-attorney-general-despite-text-scandal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">to demand that Jay Jones drop out<\/a> of this year&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/3840680\/virginia-police-union-tells-jay-jones-withdraw-attorney-general-race-immediately\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Virginia attorney general<\/a> race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;No Democrat has said that Jay Jones should drop out of the race,&rdquo; Concha said on Fox Business&rsquo;s <em>Kudlow<\/em> on Wednesday. &ldquo;He wished death on his <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >opponent &#038;mdash<\/a>; Republican opponent Todd Gilbert &mdash; said he should get two bullets to the head.
