In a stunning display of unhinged aggression that lays bare the feral heart of the radical left, Democratic Virginia Attorney General nominee Jay Jones was captured on video Tuesday lunging to kick a voter's dog outside a polling place in Norfolk.
There's no coincidence here: a man who texts fantasies of slaughtering his political foes and their innocent children reveals his true nature when a four-legged friend gets in his way.
The footage, shared widely on social media shows Jones awkwardly bending to pet the leashed dog before it trots away.
As the animal moves, Jones rears back his foot in an apparent attempt to strike it, narrowly missing.

The incident unfolded amid early voting for Virginia's high-stakes off-year elections, where Jones trails Miyares badly in polls.
This canine close call compounds Jones's deepening scandal.
In August 2022 text messages to Republican Del. Carrie Coyner—first revealed last month by National Review—Jones vented fury over tributes to the late moderate Democrat Del. Joe Johnson Jr., fixating on then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah.
"Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time," Jones wrote, likening Gilbert to Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot in a hypothetical shooting scenario.
He added, "Gilbert gets two bullets to the head."
The exchange escalated: Jones texted he would "piss on" the graves of certain GOP delegates and sneered that Gilbert and his wife, Jennifer, were "breeding little fascists."
In a follow-up call, Jones reportedly mused that Jennifer Gilbert might change her husband's gun views if she watched their children die in her arms, invoking personal "pain" to shift policy.
"Only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy," he told Coyner.

Jones has apologized, telling WRIC-TV, "I’m sick to my stomach when I read those words. Certainly they’re objectionable, they’re abhorrent, have no place in Virginia, no place in this country’s discourse."
He claims to have personally contacted the Gilberts.
Yet Democrats like gubernatorial nominee Abigail Spanberger have condemned the texts without demanding his exit, drawing fire from across the aisle.
President Donald Trump blasted Jones on Truth Social last month, warning, "It has just come out that the Radical Left Lunatic, Jay Jones, who is running against Jason Miyares, the GREAT Attorney General in Virginia, made SICK and DEMENTED jokes, if they were jokes at all, which were not funny, and that he wrote down and sent around to people, concerning the murdering of a Republican Legislator, his wife, and their children. Abigail Spanberger, who is running for Governor, is weak and ineffective, and refuses to acknowledge what this Lunatic has done."
"Even Democrats are saying it is ‘RESIGNATION FROM CAMPAIGN’ TERRITORY. Democrat Jay Jones should drop out of the Race, IMMEDIATELY, and the People of Virginia must continue to have a GREAT Attorney General in Jason Miyares who, by the way, has my Complete and Total Endorsement — JASON WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" the President continued.
Miyares, seeking re-election, aired ads questioning whether Jones can protect families after wishing violence on one.
Bipartisan outrage mounts, with even Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell, D-Fairfax, calling the texts "a serious lapse in judgment that cannot be defended."
As Virginia voters head to the polls, one truth snarls like that dodged dog: the left's warriors aren't watchdogs—they're rabid wolves in sheep's clothing, fangs bared for anyone in their path.
