Jeffries call for violence
During a Friday press conference House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made a veiled call for violence in opposition to the policies of President Trump.
“We're gonna 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," Jeffries declared. “They are trying to cut taxes for billionaire donors and wealthy corporations, then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill. That’s not acceptable. We are going to fight it legislatively, we are going to fight it in the courts, we’re gonna fight it in the streets,” said Jeffries.
Hakeem Jeffries Faces Backlash Over ‘Fight In The Streets’ Comment
Once again, as they have so often, democrat leaders have endorsed violence in their crusade against what they perceive as wrong. In 2020 about 2 dozen people were killed in the 2020 riots in which few were ever held accountable. Where was our FBI then. Federal buildings were surrounded and a police station burned. Elected democrat officials did nothing.
It is time to call out haters like Jeffries.

Let us ask every House democrat how they stand on it.
DEI has as much to do with 'diversity' as the Inflation Reduction Act had to do with reducing inflation. Phony outrage over politically motivated institutionalized racism.
Don't look now but Trump's administration is about to be 100% DEI.
That is hardly a "veiled threat". That is a call to action to the Democrat's Brown Shirts in BLM and Antifa.
It’s funny how our friends on the left call much less, incitement and hate speech if voiced by Trump or a conservative.
Well, more sad really than funny.
Sounds like a call for insurrection. Time for an impeachment.
Jeffries better be careful about what he calls for
it's the patriotic duty of every american to defend the constitution (what's left of it) from domestic enemies. I'm back at the pistol range twice a week now, because of trump's attacks on the constitution. I know what's coming and I know who will pay ...
What attacks? Please be specific. What freedoms and rights have you lost?
Biden shredded he Constitution and Trump is starting to undo the damage.
Absolutely amazing example of blind partisanship. Trump continues to try to violate the CotUS and your post somehow does not recognize it yet imagines Biden violated the CotUS in some way.
Did Trump try to steal the 2020 election with fraud, coercion, lying, and incitement?
Did Trump try to eliminate jus soli?
Did Trump try to fire Inspector Generals?
Did Trump use his power to target individuals (vindictively)?
Just horrible to see how blind partisanship can so thoroughly ruin objectivity.
Blind partisanship, projection, deflection, and denial.
Especially deflection since you clearly cannot defend the indefensible.
What I don't understand is how a representative from the state with the highest tax burden in the country on its citizens can possibly castigate someone else over taxes.
Where exactly is the call for violence?
I think the call comes from applying the same standards applied to Trump at his Jan 6th speech, for example, when he used the same sort of rhetoric, saying they had to "fight like hell". I think the intent is to allude that Jeffries is using a dog whistle tactic for encouraging people to riot. Whether Jeffries intends such only he knows.
It's the same people who claim Trump should be in jail for murder/inciting insurrection for telling a crowd to "protest peacefully" who now can't imagine how telling people to "fight in the streets" is a call for violence. It's the same double standard that's been playing out for decades. "Palin tried to murder Gabby Giffords by putting a bullseye on her district" who turned around and said "how dare anyone accuse Joe Biden of inciting an assassination when he said it was time to Trump in a bullseye" days before he was shot.
It's all so transparent.
Searching for the call for violence,
Still searching

Gave up, the call for violence must be in another article.
Amazing how they can see it where it doesn't exist, but when pointed out where it was actually present and said and stated by 45, it was all jive
lol, if someone like Trump had said that most of you left leaners would be losing your shit over it.
Big time …..
are you attempting to DENY Trump hasn't said as much and even worse ...?
It's not any different than Schumer Tells Kavanaugh "You Have Released The Whirlwind And You Will Pay The Price"
Or any of the other many instances of Democrats inciting "societal unrest".....
