On October 3, news broke that Jones had engaged in a lengthy conversation with a Republican state delegate during which he envisioned the murder of then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah.
Jones vented that Gilbert had crossed the aisle to eulogize the late Del. Joe Johnson, D-Bristol, whom he then suggested often discussed Democratic chatter with Republican leadership.
"These easy do-it-yourself costumes are proven to scare mothers, children, and voters alike. Even ‘Mr. Monopoly’ couldn’t buy back the public trust he’s buried," Piper said, as the organization shared images of some of the costume ideas:
"RIP: Here Lies My Political Opponent," read a tombstone next to a visage of Jones sporting a stovepipe hat and a shovel as an undertaker would, in one example.

Another costume built upon that scandal, featuring Jones as racecar driver #116 — the speed he was clocked by the New Kent County Sheriff’s Office — and holding a citation while an Interstate 64 shield hung in the background.
Jones was pulled over while headed eastbound toward Newport News on the infamously straight-arrow stretch of the major artery, which runs from St. Louis to Norfolk — and avoided jail time despite the high speed.
An official with New Kent County previously told Fox News Digital that Jones’ arrest had occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic and that Virginia enacted social distancing and other restrictions that led law enforcement to seek non-jail punishments for nonviolent or similar offenses to keep prisons open for the worst of the worst.

RAGA also imagined Jones as a giant iPhone, with his face framed above a screen displaying a portion of his explicit text exchange with Del. Carrie Coyner, R-Hopewell. Coyner’s replies were grayed out as she appeared to try cutting him off.
"If those guys die before me I will go to their funerals to piss on their graves. Send them out awash in something," Jones wrote of Gilbert and other Republicans, which had followed his expression of ire toward Johnson’s bipartisanship.

"Three people, two bullets: Gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot: Gilbert gets two bullets to the head," the message continued.
