00:00Obama faces backlash for campaigning alongside scandal-plagued Virginia candidate.

00:06Former President Barack Obama faced backlash for headlining a Norfolk, Virginia, rally

00:10for Democratic nominee Abigail Spanberger, alongside embattled Attorney General candidate

00:15Jay Jones.

00:16Jones, under criminal investigation and known for once fantasizing about murdering former

00:21House Speaker Todd Gilbert, shifted focus away from his scandals by criticizing President

00:26Donald Trump during his remarks.

00:29Obama's rally attendance attracted major criticism for seeming hypocrisy, despite not

00:34mentioning Jones.

00:35Critics accused the event of endorsing violence, given Jones' past remarks.

00:40The backlash underscored tensions over moral integrity, questioning Obama's alignment

00:45with figures known for violent rhetoric.

00:47I'm from a country where I saw political violence.

00:51And to think that that's what I'm seeing in America today?

00:54It is absolutely crazy, Republican Lieutenant Governor Candidate Winsome Earl Sears said.

00:59She criticized her opponent, Abigail Spanberger, for not asking Jay Jones to exit the race

01:05after his violent remarks.

01:06This cannot be what we are about in Virginia.

01:10Governor Glenn Youngkin echoed that sentiment, calling the rally, a great representation of

01:15the far left's embrace of violence.

01:16I cannot believe that Jay Jones was there, but Abigail Spanberger is for him.

01:22Barack Obama is for him, Youngkin said, later calling Jones demented.

01:26Critics underscored the irony of Obama's comments on civility amidst Jones' past rhetoric.

01:32Guy Benson labeled Obama's remarks insincere, while Phil Kirpin highlighted,

01:38Obama rallied with psycho Jay Jones today.
