House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) attacked White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt for criticizing Democrats for their violent rhetoric after a shooting took place in the vicinity of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel.
During a press conference on Monday, Jeffries labeled Leavitt a “stone-cold liar,” and accused her of reading “talking points” and being critical of words Democrats had said.
“I know you said you stand by your comment, but at the same time you have been a subject of threats as well, so, with respect to this comment about maximum warfare, even if it’s about redistricting, why not tone down the language here, in this moment?” a reporter asked.
“I think that what’s interesting to me, as you’ve pointed out, is that the so-called White House press secretary, who’s a disgrace, she’s a stone-cold liar, had the nerve to stand up there and read talking points, being critical of statements — all taken out of context, that Democrats have made,” Jeffries said. Jeffries added that Leavitt made no mention of comments from “MAGA extremists.”
Jeffries’s comments came after Leavitt, during a press conference on Monday, called for people to tone “down the rhetoric” in the aftermath of a gunman opening fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday night. President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other Cabinet officials were evacuated from the room after gunshots were heard during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Leavitt noted that as Trump said on Saturday night, the nation needs to “re-commit ourselves, as a country to toning down the rhetoric and unifying around what makes our country great.”

"These are Democrat elected officials calling for WAR against the president of the United States and his supporters."
“Death to all who call democrats violent!!!” Jeffries went on to explain.
You defend Hack-eem? Shame.
Temu Obama is thin-skinned.
More important than term limits, we need IQ limits.
We should never let anyone with a double digit IQ hold high office.
“One-Hundred or Out!”
Not asking that much.
FR is on the radar of those who would defend Democrats, and attack the Trump-Vance administration. See his About ---

I don’t think it’s on anybody’s radar these days, sadly.
Ok then, sauce for the goose to call for Jeffries’ lynching?
Your comment # 2 did not mention the gun and knife wielding attacker. Your comment was specifically about Jeffries, and about Breitbart.
Comment # 2 --- "I heard the quote and Jeffries was talking about redistricting in the middle of the decade. Breitbart is just trying to get clicks again."
As to "the guy," he is a California Democrat named Cole Allen.
Right. I saw that too. My, my, my- we have a troll, it seems…😮
King Hakeem is a racist, murdering negro. He and his Flying Luigis have got to go. Picking on white women is something the maggot should not be doing. He’s more scum than Newscum.
