Amid reports that the Democrats are “frustrated” by how effective the early days of President Donald Trump’s second term have been, leaders in the left-wing party are now apparently calling for violence “in the street” to stop the president from accomplishing more of his agenda.
Are the Democrats pushing for an insurrection?
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus Yvette D. Clarke (D-NY) held a press conference to smear President Trump and rile up their base.
Rep. Jeffries claimed that President Trump’s recent crackdown on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) was done because he’s “a bigot.” The top Democrat claimed that Trump’s remarks on DEI were a “truly disgusting and disgraceful display of racist political prognostication.”
And then came the calls for violence.
Congressman Jeffries suggested to leftists around the country that Democrat officials need their help to “fight Trump.”
“We’re going to fight it (Trump’s agenda) legislatively, we’re going to fight it the courts,” Jeffries stated. “And we’re going to fight it in the streets.”
This is insanely irresponsible coming from one of the most powerful Democrats in the entire party.
President Trump was on the receiving end of two Democrat donors carrying out assassination attempts and just last week a Democrat traveled to Washington, D.C. with plans to assassinate several of Trump’s top cabinet members.
Evidently, Jeffries wants more violent Democrats to take to the streets in that manner.
Watch the video here to see Jeffries call for blood.
