FAST, FURIOUS, & RADICAL: Jay Jones Exposed for Reckless Disregard for Human Life, 116 MPH Joyride
Jay Jones, the Virginia Democrat nominee for Attorney General, has been exposed for a dangerous, thoughtless joyride at 116 miles per hour on I-64 — 46 mph over the speed limit — that could have ended in tragedy. And it only gets worse from there.
Pulled over by state police in January 2022, Jones was convicted of reckless driving, a crime that carries a penalty of up to a year in jail. This was not some minor speeding ticket. Jones was intentionally going nearly double the speed limit because he thought that wherever he had to be was more important than the safety of everyone else on the road. He thought he was above the law.
Jones’s reckless driving mirrors his reckless political record: repeatedly voting for the early release of violent felons and opposing mandatory penalties for dangerous repeat offenders. Whether behind the wheel or in the legislature, Jay Jones shows the same callous disregard for how his actions endanger innocent people.
Even worse, Jones made a mockery of the justice system to avoid jail time. Court records show he claimed 1,000 hours of “community service” in 2023 — half of it for his own political action committee, “Meet Our Moment” — and tried to pass off campaigning as public service. Instead of accepting real accountability, Jones turned his punishment into a springboard for his political career. Only someone with no respect for the rule of law would claim that stumping for his PAC was “community service.”
Jay Jones’s record is clear: when given the chance to protect Virginians, he chooses himself. Whether it’s joyriding at 116 mph or pushing dangerous policies that put violent criminals back on the streets, his actions prove he cannot be trusted to enforce the law. Virginia families deserve an Attorney General who will uphold justice, not actively flout it.
