Democrat senators kept largely silent when asked by Fox News Digital whether Virginia Democratic candidate Jay Jones should drop out of his race for attorney general over resurfaced text messages fantasizing about violence.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., told Fox News Digital he thought the texts were "horrifying." Pressed further on whether Jones should drop out of the race, however, Wyden said, "I’m going to leave it at that, thank you."

Another Democrat, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., told Fox News Digital, "I’m really not familiar with the situation in Virginia."

Asked whether Jones "should resign after those violent texts," Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., just smiled and walked away.
