The Replacements’ guitarist Tommy Stinson has shown his support for Virginia’s Democrat Gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger, who has refused to denounce fellow Democrat Jay Jones for his text messages calling for the death of a Republican and his family.
Stinson was seen on the campaign trail for Spanberger alongside failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine and equally failed Democrat presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar. The two Democrat senators and the rocker were out Monday canvassing for Spanberger in Manassas, Virginia, according to StereoGum.
Spanberger has been taking heat for refusing to denounce Democrat candidate for Virginia attorney general Jay Jones who was caught sending text messages on August 8, 2022, to Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner, who was taken aback when he apparently wished that then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his children be gunned down.
“Three people, two bullets,” read a text from Jones.
“Gilbert, Hitler, and pol pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head. Spoiler: put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” he also wrote.
Spandberger has also been under pressure over her stance on allowing men who identify as women entering women’s bathrooms, changing rooms, and locker rooms.
A former Roanoke College women’s swimmer slammed Spanberger for her comments about keeping males out of female sports.
“The cowardice and refusal to give a clear yes or no on keeping Governor Youngkin’s policy protecting Virginia’s girls destroys all trust in Spanberger’s judgment and integrity,” said former Roanoke women’s swim captain Lily Mullen. “I firmly believe that if you are unable to denounce such outward disregard for the rights of girls who live in the great Commonwealth of Virginia, then you are unworthy holding any office, let alone that of a Governor,” she stated, adding that Spanberger was pandering to “radical gender ideology.”
