Mayor Danny Jones (R) of Charleston, W. Va., has been caught on tape recently making a disturbing display of lewd comments and gestures in an effort to mock gun owners.
In the video, which was posted to YouTube by “WVWildMan” and was claimed to be filmed while Danny Jones was awaiting the election results, he is speaking to a meeting attendee about gun owners and proceeds to rub his chest area and shake his hips while saying, “God knows what gun rights groups [do]. These people look at guns like sex objects. They oil them up and rub them.”
I don’t know what gun rights group does that with their firearms, but I do know he was referring to West Virginia Citizens Defense League and other groups who are fighting for SB347, the Constitutional Carry bill authored by the members of WVCDL, and the citizens of West Virginia.
I reached out to Mr. Jones this morning via phone. I asked him for his side of the story, and if he would like to offer an apology for his actions. He denied doing anything wrong, saying this incident was not public, and he wasn’t aware there was a child present. He noted once he realized there was a child he apologized and changed the subject.
He then hung up on me without further explanation. Because of the abruptness in ending the call, I gave him the benefit of the doubt and called back, thinking I may have dropped the call on him. When he answered, he said “I’m not accepting your apology and I want you to share that video everywhere.”
“What apology?” I told him. “I never offered you one, I asked for you to apologize to your constituents.”
Now, think about that for a moment. A man who is elected to be leader would stoop so low as to sexually mock his citizenry, even though he claims himself to be a gun owner. Not only that, but to do this in the presence of a child is just wrong.
You see, Danny Jones is a proud member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, one of Bloomberg’s shill groups. So it doesn’t surprise me that this isn’t the first time Danny has made sexual remarks when referring to gun owners.
Here is a recent post from his Facebook page:
Whether you are a gun rights supporter or not, his actions and behavior alone do not fit those of an elected official and he is an embarrassment to the entire state of West Virginia.
I will, however, grant his wish by sharing this video.
