Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries slammed President Trump for suggesting it was treasonous for Democrats not to applaud during his State of the Union and questioned whether the president and his officials have themselves engaged in treasonous acts.

“Treason is not a laughing matter,” Jeffries, of New York, said during a speech on the House floor Tuesday. “It is a serious crime embedded in the Constitution, punishable by death.

Hey, Hakeem... after calling the president every vile name you Marxist pieces of shite could think of, POTUS is entitled to a few jabs of his own. And as the old saying goes, if the foo $hits, ...

The notorious Alinsky tactic of transference is the lefts’ favorite defense tactic. From Obozo to Hitlery and on down the sycophant Communist chain to the lowliest comrade, they all practice accusing their opponents of doing exactly what they are guilty of. Whether it be Russian collusion or racism, it is a clear giveaway as to the crimes and corruption they are all about.

"...We do know that every racist in America voted for Donald Trump..."

Well, perhaps, except for all the black and white leftist racists, like you and your ilk, Hakeem.

On the surface, the treason accusation in response to their childish and boorish behavior seems over the top. I am thinking that President Trump was signaling his Democratic colleagues( tongue in cheek ) that Treason charges are exactly what they are facing if they are found to be involved with the FBI and DOJ FISA business.

The ‘rats think they are hurting President Trump by lying about this, but they are unwittingly tying together the words “Democrat” and “treason” in the minds of the low information voters.

They are branding themselves, LOL!

[snip] Obama used the word “treason” only twice during his eight years in office. Not coincidentally, he was discussing the rise of Trump both times. [/snip]

He really knows how to get under their skin! Did he really call them treasonous?...or is it fake news?

It was during his speech that an attendee shouted out "Treasonous" in which President Trump repeated the person's shout out. In which he repeated it and agreed with the person. So - it wasn't in his speech but became a part of his visit and the way it is being portrayed is that his speech was about the treasonous demoncrats.

Good observation. Recall that in that same speech, Trump was saying “we caught them”, so yes I think the President had treason on his mind.

These things puts me in mind of the 1970’s book “No Man Dare Call It Treason.” If Hakeem dares to use the word, so should we... against the real treason.

And don't ever forget it, Hakeem.
