Last week, in the wake of the Democrats losing the redistricting battles, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said, “We will beat the far-right extremists. We’re going to win in November, and then we’re going to crush their souls as it relates to the extremism that they are trying to unleash on the American people.”
To Politico, this is a sign that Democrats had “ditched the niceties,” calling it “a marked reversal from years of high-minded Democratic rhetoric.” MS NOW reports that “Democrats say they are done playing defense.”
“Niceties”? “High-minded rhetoric”? “Playing defense”? When have Democrats ever been like that?
Let’s rewind the clock to 2003. That was when Mr. Civility, George W. Bush, was president.
When not relentlessly mocking Bush’s malapropisms, they were saying things such as “his existence” was “a constant oppressive force in their daily psyche,” and “the Bush administration is the most dangerous force that has ever existed. It is more dangerous than Nazi Germany.” They called Bush “the greatest terrorist in the world” and said he’d unleashed “squadrons” of “brownshirts.”
Fast forward a decade. Barack Obama – who when running for president said that “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun” – was in the White House, and Democrats controlled the Senate. (Republicans had just regained control of the House in the mid-term elections.)
Republican Senators were threatening to filibuster a spending bill and shut down the government. How did those “high-minded” Democrats respond? They called Republicans extortionists and hostage-takers, terrorists, saboteurs, and squealing political pigs.
Nancy Pelosi said they were “legislative arsonists.” Then-White House senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer described them as “people who have a bomb strapped to their chest.” Then Sen. Angus King said, “those people are guilty of murder.”
That shutdown, by the way, lasted all of six days.
A couple of years ago, Libs of TikTok compiled more than two minutes of video of Democrats calling for violence during Donald Trump’s first term. [X link at article]
This is just a teeny, tiny sampling that we pulled together quickly for this editorial.
There’s been no let-up since, despite three assassination attempts against Trump.
And it’s not just Trump.
Here are some of the “high-minded” words Democrats used to describe ICE agents – you know, federal law enforcement officers charged with enforcing current immigration laws:
- “A reign of terror.” Sen. John Hickenlooper.
- “Deranged.” Rep. Pramila Jayapal
- “Modern-day Gestapo.” Gov. Tim Walz
- “Secret police.” Gov. Gavin Newsom
- “Terrorizing people.” Gov. Kathy Hochul
- “A clear and present threat.” Sen. Tina Smith
- “Masked thugs.” Rep. Eric Swalwell
This time around, Democrats are hopping mad because their attempt to out-gerrymander Republicans has embarrassingly failed. But it doesn’t matter what the issue is. Democrats are never high-minded, they are never nice, they are always on offense (and always offensive).
Eight years ago, when we were at Investor’s Business Daily, we wrote that:
That’s always been the left’s response to politicians they don’t agree with: Harass, attack, belittle, demean, threaten, scream … and repeat. Unlike Republicans, however, the left never gets called on its hate-mongering.
It was true then. It’s worse today.

Oh no! Hakeem is going to put on his suicide vest.
Well, if you don’t like history, just change it to your liking. That’s the libtard’s strategy. Count on the feeble minded minions to forget what happened just a couple years ago. “Far right extremists”? I’m willing to bet that there are many times more far left libtards than far right wing extremists. Hypocrites, all of them.
When they want to win.
They've been trying to sell this BS to people for years.
They always go low.
Democrats have been nasty gutter fighters ever since their party of slavery was founded.
Since when have Democrats been high-minded?
Since they started smoking weed.
Have come to the rational conclusion that the Democrats are demonic. Unless a clear majority of decent, hard working Americans can be convinced that any vote for any Democrat anywhere, anytime is a vote to destroy the American nation, then the nation will in fact be destroyed.
Democrat started the lawfare against anyone they don’t like.
They cry “foul” when same is done to them.
Ditto for redistricting.
I get so tired of the spin on cable and network TV from Dem analysts who say it’s our side that’s responsible for the divide in America.
No, there’s a “divide” in their minds because we’re no longer sitting by and allowing the left to have their way anymore.
Standing up and fighting the extreme left in America is now termed political division in America.

Hive-minded would be more accurate.
Well most of them are high most of the time & they need minders from the institutions they have escaped from....
Oh, ‘dollar tree obama’? 😂👍
Since they started smoking dope?
Bkmk
“Crush their souls”?
Sounds like Satan himself talking.
And yes, “right-wing extremists” is every Communist’s codeword for their absolute hatred for believers in Christ Jesus, The Jewish People, our Valiant Military Veterans and Active Military, and Patriots, and the original Nuclear Family with dad, mom, the kids, grandparents (and NO tablets and smartphones and gadgets and games at the table!)
Grok, create an image of a gorilla with hair extensions...
Hakeem Jeffries: “We will beat the far-right extremists. We’re going to win in November, and then we’re going to crush their souls...”
Per AI Hakem Jeffries has a net worth between $1 million(bogus) and $9 million(closer). Just how much of it would he be willing to bet on in November? Every time they say these things no one on our side calls them on it. They set the table and there should be a put up or shut up response when the ball is in our court. We keep letting them get away with it because we have little ones.
