House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) made a disturbing statement on Friday that sounded like he was calling for an insurrection against Trump, just months after the 47th president was nearly assassinated.
As The Hill reported, Jeffries and Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) chairwoman Yvette D. Clarke (D-N.Y.) held a press conference Friday morning, a day after President Trump sounded off on the tragic plane crash at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington and signed an Executive Order to investigate Joe Biden’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies.
As expected, Jeffries and the CBC smeared Trump as a bigot rather than engaging in actual thought, calling his remarks a “truly disgusting and disgraceful display of racist political prognostication.”
During his own rant against Trump, Jeffries made what some would consider a threat against Trump that would likely prompt a visit from the FBI if a Republican had said it.
“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.”
What a poor choice of words.

Jeffries’s remarks should not only bring to mind the two assassins last year who tried to take out Trump but also the George Floyd riots back in 2020 during the so-called “Summer of Love.”
These individuals showed “taking to the street” included assaulting cops, burning down businesses, and defacing public monuments.
Moreover, GOP members of Congress were constantly harassed and threatened in public during Trump’s first term by deranged leftists.
One far-left terrorist nearly gunned down approximately 20 GOP congressional members on a baseball field in Alexandria, Virginia that the FBI and media worked to cover up quickly.
The lives of Supreme Court members have been threatened following rulings based on the Constitution rather than legislating from the bench. Just ask Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
This attitude from the left is precisely what Jeffries wants to bring back, and God help our country if they take his words literally.
