The White House issued a statement calling for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to apologize after he incited his supporters to “fight” against President Donald Trump’s Agenda “in the streets.”  A major  mistake to call out street violence.

     Jeffries’ (D-N.Y.) “call for violence” came during a recent press conference in Brooklyn where he called on Americans to fight back against Trump’s “extreme” agenda “in the streets,” seemingly implying a notion of violence.  “We’re going to keep focused on the need to look out for everyday New Yorkers and everyday Americans who are under assault by an extreme MAGA Republican agenda that is trying to cut taxes for billionaires, donors, and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill. That’s not acceptable,” Jeffries stated.

     We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. And we’re going to fight it in the streets,” he continued. In response, the White House issued a statement, questioning if Jeffries will “Apologize to the American People?”  “House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) made a sick call for violence and incited his followers to ‘fight’ President Trump’s agenda ‘in the streets.’ Will Minority Leader Jeffries apologize for this disgusting threat? Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?” the statement read.
