White House demands top Democrat Hakeem Jeffries apologize for 'sick' call to 'fight' MAGA

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The White House is calling on House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to apologize after the New York Democrat vowed to fight the Trump agenda 'in the streets.'

Jeffries made his remarks during a press conference in New York on Friday morning where the lawmaker and others gathered to blast the new administration's attempts to freeze federal funding earlier this week.

Surrounded by officials from programs that could have been impacted by the freeze of grants and loans, Jeffries claimed New Yorkers and Americans are 'under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda.'

He said that agenda is trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and stick New Yorkers and the working class Americans with the bill.

'That's not acceptable. We're going to fight it legislatively, we are going to fight it in the courts, and we're going to fight it in the streets,' Jeffries said.

But the White House responded by calling his comments a 'sick call for violence' and claimed it 'incited his followers.'

'Will Minority Leader Jeffries apologize for this disgusting threat?' the White House put out in a release.

'Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?' it continued.

#1

To All Liberals, Socialists and Democrats.
The Real Voters have spoken. Any and ALL Wasteful, Unnecessary spending is under review subject cut by duly elected MAGA focused representatives.

Its time to reel in the US Federal Budget to represent collected revenues. Instead of "continuing" to spend $TRILLIONS more than is collected each year.

#2 I would like to see all those folks in the streets now that the Feds have set a precedent for holding them for 3 years without charges.

#4 Jeffries clearly states the reason for the 2d Amendment. Put up or shut up.

#5 So can we expect Antifa to start ramping up their activities again?

#6 They only ever acted in jurisdictions where they would not be held accountable. If the Feds are not on their side, they will not be active even in Dem cities. They also know that Trump will put them in the domestic terrorist list with little encouragement. Too many Dems and Feds are involved in their activities so ANTIFA will do nothing for the foreseeable future.

#7 Sounds like this guy needs to be relieved of duty.

#8 Another one to take off the streets:

Democrats elect new chair who branded Trump a 'traitor' as party aims to rebound from disastrous 2024 election

Fiery rhetoric will get you fired upon.

#9 can we expect Antifa to start ramping up their activities again?

I’m sure that’s the plan, Abu Uluque. But the tolerance they require evaporated with this election, so hopefully we’ll quickly see lots of arrests and serious jail sentences — especially for those from elsewhere, whether legal or illegal.

Except for Democrat-controlled cities and states, which will see accelerated population loss, until the Justice Department turns its attention in that direction.
