Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is facing blowback after calling for supporters to fight President Donald Trump’s agenda not only legislatively but “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,” Jeffries said during a press conference on Friday.
“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,” he added.
The message does not seem to be new, mirroring similar messaging to House Democrats during a House Democratic Caucus virtual emergency meeting this week, discussing ways to oppose Trump’s MAGA agenda.
“House Democrats are now fully engaged. The bell has rung. I think we see this for the constitutional test that it is, and we’re going to be aggressively pushing back,” Rep. Jared Huffman (D-CA) said, according to the Hill.
“Leader Jeffries described it as a legal fight, a legislative fight and a street fight,” he said, adding, “And I couldn’t put it better.”
Democrat Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia described the move as a “broad call for action — and a vigorous one.”
But to some, Jeffries’s call to fight “in the streets” is all too reminiscent of the days of violence over the summer of 2020....SNIP

Won’t Get Fooled Again
The Who
[Verse 1]
We’ll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgment of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
[Chorus]
I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
[Verse 2]
Change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that’s all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain’t changed
‘Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war
[Chorus]
I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
No, no

[Bridge]
I’ll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half-alive
I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky
For I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do you?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Yeah
There’s nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
[Chorus]
I’ll tip my hat to the new Constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again
Don’t get fooled again
No, no
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
Dog whistle? Helen Keller could have heard it!
Bring it egghead! Americans will whip your ass.
Open an investigation on Hakeem.
that will not age well
if antifa does climb out from under its rock
they may be facing a new fbi under Kash
Did Jamaal Bowman pull the fire alarm again?
Throw Maxine in with him.
His crowd ain’t looking to protest.
They looking for an excuse to loot and burn.
Insurrection Send them to PRISON for 4 years without seeing a judge or bully them into crimes they did not commit just like dems did to J6ers.
Calling for insurrection? Maybe the FBI should have a chat with him.
That sounds like he is threatening an insurrection.
Good thing he is a liberal. That would be illegal if he was in the GOP.
Sounds like an Al Sharpton Wannabe.
Dead people can't talk.
Sounds like Maxine Waters. Who votes for these misfits?
