The extreme left that tried to take over the White House during Trump’s first term is back to causing trouble. After a quiet start to Trump’s return, House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries is once again encouraging his followers to “fight” against Trump and his supporters in the streets.
At a press conference in Brooklyn, he said, “We will fight him in laws, in courts, and in the streets.”
This goes against the call from some Democrats and media to calm down after Trump was almost shot by an attacker.
The White House asked if Jeffries would apologize for this “disgusting threat.” They wondered if he would continue making calls for violence, something that has been a problem for years. Most likely, he will not apologize.
Jeffries’ office did not respond to requests for comments.
Many remember when Rep. Maxine Waters urged people to confront Trump’s officials in public places, saying, “If you see anyone from that Cabinet, you create a crowd and push back on them. They are not welcome anywhere.”
This summer, there were threats made against Trump’s officials and other Republicans. So much for peaceful coexistence.
A year earlier, the media-led “resistance” against Trump made some people angry, leading to a shooting targeting Republican members of Congress. Rep. Steve Scalise was severely wounded in that attack.
In 2020, Sen. Chuck Schumer threatened two Supreme Court Justices, saying they would “pay the price” if they tried to change laws about abortion. He told them, “You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.”
Since then, many threats have been made against conservative justices, leading to arrests of individuals with plans to harm them.
Now that Democrats lost in the recent election, they are talking tough. Jeffries’ comments about fighting in the streets are part of a plan to be aggressive against Trump.
Rep. Jared Huffman from California mentioned that House Democrats are fully ready to respond, saying they will do their best in court, in Congress, and on the streets.
The leaders of the Democratic Party are demanding action, and we should take their promises seriously. The extreme left that caused real chaos during the Black Lives Matter protests and the “mostly peaceful” riots of 2020 is indicating they will do the same against Trump.
The concern is; how long until the country pays for the threatening words of Democrats who claim to protect democracy while promoting violence?
