Loser Leftist, Rebekah Jones, Escorts Her Son To Police Station After He Threatened To Shoot Up His School

SANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. -- The teenage son of former congressional candidate Rebekah Jones is facing charges in Santa Rosa County.

The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office says 13-year-old Jackson Jones was arrested on Wednesday for intimidation, a second-degree felony.

Jones, 33, received national attention in early 2020 when she lied about the information being reported by the state when Florida was an epicenter of the pandemic.

She publicly suggested that she pushed back when health department managers wanted her to manipulate information to paint a rosier picture as DeSantis pushed to reopen Florida businesses earlier than most other states and keep restrictions light in small, rural counties.

DeSantis, a possible 2024 Republican presidential candidate, raised his national profile by criticizing COVID lockdowns, most mask wearing and hiring a health department chief who is skeptical of coronavirus vaccines.

Health department officials denied Jones’ allegations and she was fired for violating regulations barring employees from making public statements without permission. About six months later, the computer message was sent, starting the investigation that led to her arrest.

Jones was the Democratic challenger to Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz last month. In the heavily GOP district, Gaetz won by a 2-to-1 margin.
