Democratic Texas state Rep. Jolanda Jones told CNN on Wednesday that her party should âwipe outâ every Republican and slash their necks.
Jones stated on âErin Burnett OutFrontâ that Democrats are losing black supporters because they need to fight harder, which included slashing her political opponentâs neck and wiping out Republicans. Her rhetoric followed two assassination attempts against President Donald Trump and the murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
âIâm from the hood, okay?So when a bully comes, like, if there are no rules, you literally have to figure it out.So, Donald Trump has changed things, and people trying to do whatâs always been done is not going to work,â Jones said. âAnd I think thatâs why Democrats are losing black people, thatâs why theyâre losing poor people,because poor people, all they want is for US to fight.â
âSo if you hit me in my face, Iâm not going to punch you back in your face,Iâm going to go across your neck, because we can go back and forth fighting each otherâs faces.Youâve got to hit hard enough where they wonât come back,â Jones continued. âAnd so, yeah, for the same way I went to New York and spoke with Governor Kathy Hochuland said if theyâre 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 that I represent.âÂ

Jones told Axios on Wednesday that her party needs to âfight uglyâ in order to deal with Republicans.
âIf you grew up in the hood like me, thatâs the fastest way, literally, to be killed. ⌠My brother was murdered, my aunt was murdered, my cousin was murdered,â Jones said. âMy dad blew his brains out. So, I come from a different world where everything isnât so pretty like the Democrats want. Sometimes sh*t is ugly. And youâve got to be able to fight ugly.â
Some protesters at the âNo Kingsâ rallies across the U.S. called for the use of violence against members of the Trump administration and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. One protester in Seattle, Washington, said he wanted to kill White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller. Another protester in Chicago, Illinois, called on ICE agents to be âshot and wiped out,â while another woman in Portland, Maine, said Trumpâs death would be a great gift to her.
