Democrat Rep. Threatens To ‘Wipe Out’ Republicans On CNN, Host Nods Along

Texas Democrat Rep. Jolanda Jones’ shocking comments and throat-slashing gesture during a live interview on CNN have viewers wondering if the left’s violent rhetoric has reached a new low.

Speaking with host Erin Burnett, Jones declared she was ready to “confront bullying” from Republicans — especially former President Donald Trump — with language that sounded less like politics and more like street intimidation.

“I’m from the hood, OK? So when a bully comes like, if there are no rules, you mentally have to figure it out,” Jones said. She didn’t stop there. “If you hit me in my face, I’m not going to punch you back in your face. I’m going to go across your neck.”

As she made the chilling remark, Jones sliced her hand across her throat — a gesture that momentarily stunned Burnett before she awkwardly nodded and moved on.

Jones then took it even further, saying she wanted to “wipe out every Republican in New York, in California, in Illinois.” The violent imagery was unmistakable — and it came at a time when the country is already on edge.

Her words echo a disturbing pattern in modern left-wing politics, where aggressive language is brushed off as “passion” while tensions keep boiling over. Recent political violence — including the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk and two attempts on Trump’s life — shows that this rhetoric isn’t just theater. Even President Biden’s past talk about putting Trump in a “bullseye” hasn’t helped cool things down.

By turning political debate into threats and gestures of violence, Jones’s outburst pushes American politics closer to the brink. Her comments underscore how some Democrats are now normalizing intimidation — and abandoning the civility that once held the system together.

In a time when unity is fragile and tempers are high, Jones’s message represents yet another escalation in dangerous rhetoric from the left wing.
