FIRST ON FOX: Like Democratic Virginia candidate for attorney general Jay Jones is facing growing backlash due to multiple scandals. Republicans are handing out Monopoly-style cards to voters, mocking Democrats' inconsistencies.
Fox News Digital obtained images of the cards from the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), which first distributed them during its “Road Jay” media tour in Roanoke and the neighboring Shenandoah Valley.
The four cards, reminiscent of those from Charles B. Darrow's famous board game based on Atlantic City real estate, include images of Jones standing in for “Uncle Pennybags.”
“RAGA emphasizes that it's rules for Jay, not rules for you, whether that means zero accountability for murderous text messages or zero punishment for the crimes that land most Virginians behind bars,” RAGA executive director Adam Piper told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.

Some of the cards included an orange “Chance” card with the words “Rules for Jay, but not for you” – “Community service for political gain” – “Paid by law firm for community service” – “A criminal case has now been opened for fraud.“
The card is critical of Jones, who applied for 1,000 hours of community service with his political action committee and the NAACP after being arrested for careless driving at 186 mph.
Critics suggest there is more to it than swearing by those hours, as a second district attorney within a week has filed a motion to recusal the otherwise obscure prosecutor. ongoing investigation.
