Dr. Candice Matthews Takes the Gloves Off in David Jones Takedown

PORT ARTHUR, Texas. The war of words between Dr. Candice Matthews and self-proclaimed Port Arthur activist David Jones escalated dramatically on Thursday when Matthews held a press conference outside Jones’ residence, turning an online feud into a very public confrontation.

Matthews wasted no time unleashing a barrage of insults, repeatedly referring to Jones as “David ‘Spam Thigh’ Jones” while delivering a fiery speech filled with sharp criticism and increasingly colorful jabs aimed at the local activist.

Jones has become a familiar face at political events throughout the Port Arthur area, where he describes himself as an activist and frequently comments on local political issues.

The ongoing feud between the two has played out extensively on social media over recent months. During that time, Jones has publicly referred to Matthews with a series of harsh labels, including “child predator,” “fraud,” and “bully,” among other insults. Matthews has consistently denied those accusations and has responded with criticism of Jones in return.

But Thursday’s confrontation marked a significant escalation.

Instead of limiting her response to social media, Matthews took her message directly to Jones’ neighborhood, where she addressed members of the media and supporters during a press conference outside his home. Throughout the event, she accused Jones of spreading false information about her while continuing to mock him with a string of nicknames and personal attacks.

The dramatic faceoff is the latest chapter in an increasingly bitter public dispute that has captured attention in Southeast Texas political circles. With both sides continuing to trade accusations online and in public, there appears to be little sign that the feud will cool down anytime soon.
