The Prince William County Republican Committee (PWCGOP) published several posts on October 9, 2025, referencing political figures and recent controversies involving candidates in Virginia. The posts included direct commentary on Jay Jones, Pete Gibson, and others, highlighting alleged remarks and speculating on the political fallout as Election Day approaches.
In a post at 4:15 a.m. UTC, PWCGOP introduced Delegate Ian Lovejoy, writing: “Delegate Ian Lovejoy
Delegate for #HD22 | @VAHouse
Fmr. City Councilman | Small Business Owner
@MichaelWebert @IanTLovejoy https://t.co/Jg3gtHq67K“.
Later, at 10:58 a.m. UTC, PWCGOP alleged that Jay Jones made violent statements about Todd Gilbert and his family, quoting: “Jay Jones fantasized about shooting Todd Gilbert twice in the head, choosing to execute him over Hitler and Pol Pot. Then he called Gilbert’s young children ‘little fascists’ who should be killed — in their weeping mother’s arms.
And Tim and Tom still support @jonesjay 100%”.
At 11:58 a.m. UTC, PWCGOP questioned whether Pete Gibson would become involved in the situation, stating: “Will Pete Gibson (@peteymca) come to the rescue?
The betting community say @jonesjay will be out by Saturday.
That’s a lot of signs they will have to print, with less than a month to Election Day.
Has team @SpanbergerForVA made the call to Pete yet?”.
PWCGOP is the official Republican committee for Prince William County, Virginia, and frequently comments on local political races and candidates. The posts were made in the context of heightened scrutiny as Virginia’s general election approaches in November 2025, with many races drawing state and national attention due to their competitiveness.
