Jay Jones

The General Assembly all the time, everybody knew the Gilbert kids, and Jay Jones would have known the Gilbert kids.

That's what's terrible about this whole situation.

It wasn't like, hey, I want to kill a kid who's from another country.

You would know this kid, these kids, because you run the General Assembly.

I talked to him this past week just to check on him.

And the bad thing about it is now there has to be police presence where his kids are.

And that's because they still receive threats.

He keeps saying that he is sorry.

Jay, if you're really sorry, you wouldn't be running.

If you really understood the ramifications of what you said about an innocent mom and her children, you know Todd Gilbert.

You've served with him.

Jennifer would come to the General Assembly.

She would bring her children.

We would see them run in the hallways.

They were two and five years old at the time.

This wasn't a hypothetical.

This wasn't some figure that you know from far away.

How in the world could you ever show compassion and comfort a grieving mother that has ever lost a child to violence?

Because, Virginians, there is no cry.

like the cry of a mother that has lost her child.
