What Jay Jones’ victory means for Democrats and the ‘new era of violent rhetoric,’ according to experts

Published

on


NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Democrats in Virginia elected an attorney general who privately fantasized about murdering his political opponents, raising questions from experts who spoke to Fox News Digital about whether the Democratic Party is serious about condemning political violence.

«The moral rot infecting the Democrat Party is here to stay and voters just proved it,» Mehek Cooke, a GOP political consultant and commentator, told Fox News Digital after Jay Jones won the race for Virginia attorney general.

Jones defeated incumbent Republican Jason Miyares despite a campaign plagued with scandal after it was revealed he fantasized in 2022 text messages about shooting former Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert in the head while also suggesting that harm should come to that Republican’s young «fascist» children. 

«Jay Jones called for the death of political opponents and their children, yet instead of rejecting that extremism, Democrat voters rewarded it,» Cooke said.

Julian Epstein, a longtime Democratic operative, attorney, and former chief counsel to the House Judiciary Committee, told Fox News Digital the «near unanimous rationalizations» from Democrats is driven by a «moral relativism that is a race to the bottom for any civilization.»

Epstein explained, «The collective shoulder shrug about a candidate who fantasizes about the assassination of his opponents and the death of his opponent’s children is of the same piece with the new era of violent rhetoric from the left and the data showing that nearly half of young progressives think that political violence can be justified. To look the other way on this because of political expedience is to lose the plot as to why one is in the public square in the first place.»

Ultimately, Cooke told Fox News Digital, the election of Jones in Virginia will help Republicans going forward.

«These reckless choices by the Left, including the election of Jay Jones, will only electrify the Republican base heading into the midterms and beyond,» Cooke said. 

Kentucky GOP Rep. Andy Barr, running for U.S. Senate next year, echoed the sentiment that Republicans look better to voters overall than Democrats after Tuesday night. 

«The Democrat Party just elected a Socialist to run the financial capital of the world and a Leftist Attorney General who wished for Republican leaders and their children to be killed,» Barr said. «Meanwhile, one year after the greatest political comeback in history, President Trump is Making America Great Again. Our golden age will continue as the Democrat Party disgraces itself.»

Fox News Digital reached out to the Jones campaign for comment.

News that Jones had sent the controversial texts, first reported by National Review, sparked a firestorm in early October, with many pundits believing the Jones campaign would be doomed for promoting political violence in a climate still reeling from the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

However, Democrats in Virginia remained behind Jones as gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger and prominent elected Democrats in the state refused to call on him to step down after he apologized for the texts.

«At the end of the day, this election has never been about me or my opponent,» Jones said in his victory speech. «It has always been about every single one of us and the future of Virginia.»

Detuvieron a un hombre con antecedentes pedófilos que importó una muñeca sexual con apariencia infantil

Published

on


Un nuevo caso de importación de muñecas sexuales con apariencia infantil sacudió a Francia y encendió las alarmas de las autoridades. El lunes, empleados de un depósito cercano a Marsella detectaron un paquete sospechoso: era voluminoso, pesado y estaba parcialmente abierto. Al revisarlo, encontraron una muñeca de silicona de 1,30 metros, con rasgos de preadolescente.

El envío, que tenía como remitente a la empresa Zech, de origen chino, fue inmediatamente reportado a la policía. El destinatario, un hombre de 56 años que vive en Bouc-Bel-Air y que ya había sido condenado por delitos de agresión sexual, fue identificado y detenido.

Investigación y allanamiento: la Justicia va tras los compradores

La fiscalía de Aix-en-Provence abrió una causa por “importación, tentativa de adquisición y tentativa de tenencia de imagen de menor con carácter pornográfico”. La policía secuestró la muñeca y realizó un allanamiento en la casa del sospechoso, donde incautó material informático que ahora está siendo analizado.

El hombre, que quedó bajo custodia, “tiene antecedentes penales por agresión sexual y admitió haber encargado la muñeca con fines sexuales», declaró la fiscalía al sitio Actu Marseille.

El escándalo de las muñecas sexuales infantiles y la reacción oficial

Este caso se da en un contexto de máxima alerta en Francia, luego de que la brigada antifraude francesa denunciara la venta de muñecas sexuales con apariencia infantil en las plataformas chinas Shein y AliExpress. La polémica llevó a que la empresa fuera citada a declarar en la Asamblea Nacional en los próximos días, en el marco de una investigación sobre el control de productos importados.

La fiscalía de París también abrió varias investigaciones contra estas dos plataformas de venta online por “difundir imágenes o representaciones de menores de carácter pornográfico”.

Además, el gobierno de Emmanuel Macron anunció que suspenderá el sitio web de Shein después de detectar la venta de muñecas sexuales con apariencia infantil y de armas prohibidas en su plataforma online.

Según el Ministerio de Finanzas, la suspensión se mantendrá “todo el tiempo que sea necesario” hasta que Shein demuestre que cumple con las leyes francesas. La compañía respondió que prohibirá globalmente la venta de dichas muñecas y que cerrará temporalmente su marketplace en Francia para revisar los controles a los vendedores externos.

El portavoz de Shein en Francia, Quentin Ruffat, aseguró que la compañía colaborará “al 100%” con la Justicia y que entregarán los nombres de los compradores de muñecas si así lo requiere la investigación.

Qué dicen los expertos en pedofilia sobre las muñecas con rasgos infantiles

La Alta Comisionada para la Infancia, Sarah El Haïry, fue contundente: “Ir a buscar a quienes compraron estas muñecas en nuestro territorio es una obligación para proteger y controlar el estado de los niños que están en su entorno cercano”.

Según Véronique Béchu, excomandante de policía y directora del Observatorio contra el Ciberacoso y la Violencia contra Menores, el uso de estas muñecas dista mucho de ser inofensivo, sino que “contribuye directamente a la radicalización de la conducta pedocriminal”, afirmó al sitio FranceInfo.

“No es la muñeca la que ‘crea’ la desviación, pero constituye un indicador y un facilitador en el proceso delictivo”, explicó a franceinfo una fuente especializada en caso de abusos de niños. “Este tipo de objeto no canaliza el impulso: lo alimenta y lo estructura”, afirmó.

“Los pedófilos no operan según un modelo de ‘descarga’, sino mediante un condicionamiento progresivo, con desensibilización moral y una búsqueda de escalada en sus prácticas», agregó.

El uso de estas muñecas, a veces provistas de orificios sexuales, forma parte de una “escalada conductual“, continuó esta fuente policial, especificando que “en los casos judiciales, el uso de objetos sexualizados suele ser parte de un proceso progresivo” que comienza con la visualización de fotos y videos de abusos de niños, se intensifica con el uso de muñecas o juguetes sexuales que representan a un menor y alcanza su punto álgido con “la búsqueda de contacto real” . “Esto es lo que la criminología denomina el ciclo de la exteriorización”, resumió la misma fuente.

Florence Thibaut, profesora de psiquiatría y adicciones en el Hospital Cochin de París, especialista en temas de pedofilia, explicó que “entre las personas que tienen fantasías pedófilas, que las expresan y que las padecen, se estima que una de cada dos actuará según sus impulsos contra un niño”.

Medios galos recordaron asimismo que el excirujano Joël Le Scouarnec, condenado en mayo a veinte años de prisión por la violación y agresión sexual de 299 pacientes, en su mayoría niños, vivía rodeado de decenas de muñecas. Incluso había bautizado a algunas con los nombres de sus víctimas.
