House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-NY, rebuked President Donald Trump on Sunday and said he should keep his "reckless mouth shut" after the president called Democrats the "greatest enemy" in America.
"Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democratic Party! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT," the president wrote on Truth Social.
CNN's Dana Bash asked Jeffries to react to the statement during Sunday's "State of the Union."
"Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed," Jeffries said.
Jeffries also spoke to Bash about the war in Iran, which he described as a "reckless war of choice."
"They clearly didn't anticipate some of the things that have happened, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. What you're seeing right now are gas prices are through the roof, and that's adding to an environment in America right now where life has already become too expensive for the American people because of failed policies by Donald Trump," he said.
Jeffries did not say whether he would support any more funding for the Pentagon or whether he would urge Democrats to vote "no."
"Well, we'll have that leadership conversation when we actually have a piece of legislation that is in front of us. But I can tell you, uh, there is strong opposition right now to the notion that this war of choice — that is reckless, that's costing the American people now more than $30 billion — should continue. We need to move, which we plan on doing in short order, a War Powers Resolution so we can bring this situation to a close," he said.

Meanwhile Trump has survived multiple assassination attempts thank to guys like this crying about fascism, Nazis and white christian nationalists….
-Joe Biden, on energy policy while campaigning in 2008.
He has the rank, but not the ability. He’s obviously terrified.
Republicans are a threat to democracy and conservatives are the biggest domestic terrorism threat, they said. So f their fake righteous indignation.
I give Jeffries 2 sombreros...
What did he say when the last President did a Nazi themed speech to claim white people and Republicans were the greatest threats to America?
Thought Dims liked high priced gas?
LOL, pot calling kettle...
LOL. More tough talk. I’m surprised he didn’t throw an “MF” in there too. That’s the MO of Dem officeholders these days. Aggressive, profanity-filled, confrontational rhetoric. It plays well with their base and the press lets them get away with it. And its easy for a lazy politician to do. But the problem is that once your rhetoric goes to DEFCON 1, it can’t go any further and it loses its impact.
Jeffries should keep on talking, because he is one of the best ads the Republican could air...along with Da Nang Dick, Chris Murphy and Jazzy Crockett...
Looks like Trump struck a tender nerve as only Truth can do!
He is mentally ill and in the full throes of Dunning-Krueger.
The Demonrats are enemies and traitors to the Republic. So F O !
I could live without the nuke fall out though
Jeffries is an assclown marionette.
I hope temu obama keeps running his mouth and continues as dim minority leader for a long time. The simple fact is it shows DEI in progress and points it right at the dims.
Gee. One can almost imagine the Leftist vision of how the planning phase of Operation Epic Fury went down:
HEGSETH: Mr. President, we have allocated all the aircraft and ships needed for this operation. Everything is in place and ready to go.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Good. You have the green light. Execute the operation when conditions are right. Bomb them into the Stone Age.
HEGSETH: Perfect! Let's wipe them out. I will...
YOUNG SECRETLY LEFTIST STAFFER: Has anyone given any thought to what would happen should Iran close the Strait of Hormuz?
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Uhhh...no. The Strait of Hormuz? What is important about that? Pete, is that...
HEGSETH: It isn't anything to be concerned about, Mr. President. It is so improbable we haven't even bothered to make any contingency plans for that.
PRESIDENT TRUMP: Well, okay. I am going to have my dinner of a Big Mac and a Diet Coke. Just take care of everything. And fire that staffer.
Coming Soon in the new Hollywood movie: EPIC FUTILITY!
(Starring Arrec Baldwin as Donald Trump, Rosie O'Donnell as Melania Trump, and Sean Penn as Pete Hegseth)
If Arrec Barwin is in the show, the rest of the cast and crew need body armor ...
Hahahaha...if the makers of Team America did it, Arrec Bahlwin would be the perfect cast member, especially given his facility with firearms!
