Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) comments about the ongoing government shutdown were “going to get someone killed.”
A day earlier on CNN, Johnson said, “No, we’re not going to allow Chuck Schumer to play selfish political games and hold the American people hostage. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists.”
Jeffries said, “That type of language is reckless, it’s irresponsible, and it’s going to get someone killed. What do these folks not understand as it relates to the language that they continue to use? We should be able to battle it out in the contest of ideas as opposed to trying to use these extreme terms that have been unleashed on the American people from the very beginning of this presidency, and, as a matter of fact, for a long period of time, by the current president and those sycophants who continue to do nothing more than rubber stamp his extreme agenda and hurt the American people. These are folks in the house in terms of the Republicans, they’ve been on vacation for the last four weeks. They have actually canceled votes four consecutive weeks in a row. ........

Tion
much, Jeffrey???
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Jeffries just keeps digging a deeper hole for himself and democrats. What the heck is he talking about someone getting killed?? Is he trying to get some nut bar ideas?
>>”Jeffries: Johnson Calling Dems ‘Legislative Terrorists’ Is ‘Going to Get Someone Killed’
Yeah, and it will almost certainly be a conservative shot by some deranged leftist, incapable of handling the truth.
“”relates to the language that they continue to use?””
Is that man nuts? THEY CONTINUE TO USE? Anything to get in the news, I guess!
Jeffries’ rhetorical outbursts is reminding of what Alinsky yelped in his ‘Rules for Radicals’ book, “accuse others of what you are doing yourself” kind of bellowing.
But demonic leftists can call all conservatives Nazi, hitler, fascists; all day long. No problem. They can go on media and talk about slicing throats. No problem.
Whatever you vile leftists.
The democrats know all about killing people.
It’s their specialty.
That comment of Jeffries should be taken as a threat.
They’ve already accomplished that Mike.
LOL LOL from the party that calls for Trump’s murder every single damn day and celebrated Charlie’s murder
Jeffries saying what he did is figuratively to put the mobster’s hat on Johnson’s head. (See Freeper physicist in FR history.)
Hakeem’s speech is a dog whistle to his minions to go after Johnson and/or those allied with and/or dear to Johnson.
Jeffries is coming up with some pretty idiotic statements that show that he really isn’t a very smart individual.
He is worried the radical left will turn it's weapons on the left. My, what a predicament.
JMO, YMMV
