‘I’m from the hood, OK?’: Congressional candidate threatens to cut throats in her ‘fight’ against Trump
‘You hit me in my face, I’m not going to punch you back … I’m going to go across your neck …’
A state lawmaker in Texas running for Congress is threatening to cut the throats of her opponents.
Literally.
“I’m from the hood, OK? So if you hit me in my face, I’m not going to punch you back in your face, I’m gonna go across your neck …”
That’s from current Texas House Democrat Jolanda Jones, who accompanied her threat with a slashing motion across her throat.
She said, “I’m from the hood, OK. So when a bully comes, like, if there are no rules, you basically have to figure it out. So Donald Trump has changed things. And people trying to do what’s always been done is not going to work, and I think that’s why Democrats are losing black people. That’s why they’re losing poor people.
“Because poor people. All they want is for us to fight. So if you hit me in my face. I’m not going to punch you back in your face, I’m gonna go across your neck (making slashing throat-cutting movement). Because we can go back and forth fighting each other’s faces. You better hit hard enough where they won’t come back.
“And so yeah, the same way I went to New York, [spoke with] Gov. Kathy Hochul, and said if they’re going to try to wipe us out in Texas, we need to wipe out every Republican in New York, in California, in Illinois. So no one can make me feel bad about fighting for the people I represent because the people I represent need someone who’s willing to go in the ring, and fight for them…”
Her reference to “wipe out” Republicans was about state-level efforts to redistrict in order to give Democrats electoral advantages. Republicans already have moved forward in several campaigns, and Democrats are trying to respond, but analysts say they are unlikely to make gains as the leftist party already had created its own districts across many states.
The Gateway Pundit pointed out that the interviewer, CNN’s Erin Burnell, “didn’t push back at all” when Jones issued her threats.
And the report noted her website appears to base her campaign on hate of Trump
“I will fight to stop Trump cuts to healthcare and Medicaid, Social Security, education, and veterans,” it says. “Join me – and together, let’s show them exactly how to fight Donald Trump.”
