In a stunning display of the violent rhetoric that has come to characterize the modern Democratic Party, Texas State Representative Jolanda Jones, who is running for a US House seat, appeared on CNN and issued a graphic threat against Republicans. During her interview with host Erin Burnett, the Democrat lawmaker vowed to slash her political opponents across the throat, using her background as a justification for her violent inclinations.
Representative Jones explicitly stated, “I’m from the hood, okay!? So when the bully comes like – if there are no rules you have to figure it out so Donald Trump has changed things.” This statement serves as a clear indictment of the liberal media’s narrative, revealing how figures on the left blame President Donald Trump for a breakdown in civility that they themselves are actively engendering. Rather than advocating for policy debates or civil discourse, Jones promotes physical violence as a solution to political disagreement.
She continued to elaborate on her threatening philosophy, declaring, “Because with poor people, all they want is for us to fight, so if you hit me in my face, I’m not gonna punch you back in your face I’m gonna go across your neck.” This shocking admission, promising an escalation to lethal violence, was met with zero pushback from the CNN host, Erin Burnett. The complete lack of journalistic challenge from a major network underscores the profound bias and moral bankruptcy of the liberal media, which functions as a passive megaphone for Democratic extremism instead of acting as a responsible watchdog.
Jones further detailed her combative strategy, confirming she has no intention of taking the high road. “You gotta hit hard enough where they won’t come back and so yeah, for the same way that I went to New York and spoke with governor Kathy Hochul and said that if they’re gonna try to wipe up out in Texas, we need to wipe out every Republican in New York and California, and Illinois,” she said. This call for a coordinated political “wipe out” against Republicans in multiple states illustrates the deeply divisive and destructive agenda being promoted by Democratic candidates. It stands in stark contrast to the message of law, order, and national unity championed by President Donald Trump.
The article notes that “Jolanda Jones didn’t take Michelle Obama’s advice. She said if they go low, I’m going to get in the gutter.” This embrace of the gutter is a telling metaphor for the current state of the Democratic Party, which has abandoned any pretense of decency in its fervent opposition to President Trump and his supporters. While the Left accuses the President of coarsening political dialogue, it is their own standard-bearers who are openly advocating for throat-slashing and political annihilation.
On her campaign website, Jones attempts to cloak this radicalism in typical Democratic talking points, saying, “In Congress, I will fight to stop Trump cuts to healthcare and Medicaid, Social Security, education, and veterans.” Yet her public statements reveal that her concept of “fight” transcends the political arena and enters the realm of physical threat, a dangerous perversion of the democratic process that is tacitly endorsed by a complicit media.

She adds, “Everywhere I go, people ask why Democrats aren’t fighting harder. Join me – and together, let’s show them exactly how to fight Donald Trump.” For Representative Jones, “fighting harder” does not mean debating more effectively or proposing superior policies; it means threatening to slash the throats of those who disagree with her, a sentiment that should be universally condemned but is instead amplified without critique on national television.
