Dem Leader Calls To Fight Trump Agenda ‘In The Streets’

Top Dem Leader Calls for Violence Against Trump

Conservatives, including President Donald Trump, are demanding an apology after Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) appeared to call for violence during a press conference about fighting Trump’s “agenda.”

After Democrats seriously lowered the bar for what can be deemed a “call for violence,” conservatives are now using it against them — and for good reason, as Democrats have a sizable wing of their party that has no problem with committing violence to achieve their goals.

During a press conference on January 31, Jeffries called for his fellow Democrats to fight Trump’s agenda “in the streets.”

“Right now, we’re going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working class Americans across the country with the bill,” the Democrat leader said.

“That’s not acceptable. We are going to fight it legislatively. We’re going to going to fight it in the courts, and we’re going to fight it in the streets,” Jeffries added.

The Trump White House immediately sent out a press release in response to Jeffries’ remarks, which was titled: “Will House Minority Leader Jeffries Apologize to the American People?”

“At a press conference this morning in Brooklyn, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made a sick call for violence and incited his followers to ‘fight’ President Trump’s agenda ‘in the streets,’” the press release read. “Will Minority Leader Jeffries apologize for this disgusting threat? Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shared the White House press release in a post on X, writing: “Hakeem Jeffries just gave the dog whistle to the violent ground troops of the always radical communist left. Remember last time when Democrats did this? We had 4 years of violence and insanity. Apologize Hakeem Jeffries.”

Jeffries also faced significant backlash on social media over his remarks, with many comparing it to the Democrats’ calls for violence during the George Floyd riots in the summer of 2020 and arguing that Jeffries was clearly signaling to the violent radical leftist base that they should take to the streets.

One user directly compared his comments to Rep. Maxine Waters’ (D-CA) unhinged rant calling for the harassment of Trump administration officials during his first term.

“Hakeem Jeffries needs to be censured and expelled from Congress,” another user argued.

Another user pointed out that Jeffries and his fellow Democrats have repeatedly called Trump and his supporters “insurrectionists” for far less, noting that there is “so much projection from the Left.”
