Tim Kaine Defends Va. AG Nominee Jay Jones, Says He Should Remain in Race

‘I’ve known Jay Jones for 25 years, I think those statements were not in character, and he has apologized’

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine defended his fellow Democrat, former Del. Jay Jones of Norfolk, as the attorney general nominee’s campaign unravels after texts surfaced depicting Jones envisioning the murder of a top state Republican.

Pressed ahead of a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing Tuesday, Kaine said Jones’ comments were "indefensible" but that he is "still a supporter" of his candidacy against incumbent Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares.
