Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, leader of the Democrat minority in the U.S. House, said Democrats will take their fight to the streets over some of the executive orders and actions by President Donald Trump.
Jeffries told his troops [in a Democrat caucus meeting] to pursue all avenues of opposition — and take that fight to the streets, according to several Democrats who participated in the meeting, reported The Hill news organization.
After Jan. 6, 2020, when President Trump called for peaceful protest of the certification of the presidential election, he was charged by Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Democrats in charge of the House with inciting an insurrection, and he was impeached, although he was not convicted by the Senate.
No one has called for Jeffries to be impeached, nor have they called for the impeachment of another Democrat, California Rep. Jared Huffman, who also said, “Leader Jeffries described it as a legal fight, a legislative fight and a street fight. And I couldn’t put it better.”
The “troops” Jeffries is rallying include users of the Reddit website’s discussion boards, who are now calling for armed violence in the streets.
We clipped a few of their comments responding to Jeffries’ call for street fighting, as they discuss forming militias and coordinated “armed intimidation”:
Reddit is a notoriously leftist neighborhood on the internet, a site that is filled with over 100,000 “subreddit” topics and conversations that make it difficult for humans to monitor. Those who are speaking for conservative policy are quickly banned. Must Read Alaska was banned years ago.
Now, it’s become the home of a full-fledged movement to overthrow the Trump Administration, encouraged by the words of Reps. Jeffries and Huffman.
The violence being planned has been seen before on the left during the first Trump Administration, from former Attorney General Loretta Lynch to Rep. Maxine Waters.
The Trump White House and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer have called on Jeffries to apologize.
The White House statement called Jeffries’ actions “a sick call for violence. 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?”
Loretta Lynn was a singer. Loretta Lynch was a, Attorney General under Obama.
Well maybe he should get out there in the front line on the street. And get his a** handed to him. Typical leftist rhetoric that they amazingly accuse conservatists of doing but in reality it’s the ” progressives” who are usually doing the rioting. God help us.
