The democrats call for violence yet again....

quote:

Top Democrat Vows Street Violence
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called for riots by Democrats to try to frustrate the will of the majority of Americans. This is especially pertinent since, if the Democrats pick up a few House seats in 2026, as history suggests they may, Jeffries will be the Speaker of the House, one of Washington’s most powerful figures and next in line to the presidency after the vice president:



There is no ambiguity about Jeffries’ call to “fight it [the majority of voters] in the streets.” This is a call for George Floyd-style riots, which caused many billions of dollars in damages and killed more than 30 people.

It is truly ironic that the Democrats have wailed non-stop about the January 6, 2021, demonstration which did indeed get out of hand, but which was, as reporters like to say, mostly peaceful. But now, Democrats pledge to fight our lawfully elected administration in the streets.

President Trump quickly called on Jeffries to apologize for his call for violence:



Of course Jeffries has not apologized, nor will he do so. Nor will any other Democrat try to distance himself from Jeffries’ disgusting call for street violence. This is typical of the Democratic Party: seize power by any means necessary, and maintain a desperate grip on power by any means necessary. Street violence? It’s A-OK! Lies and cheating? Hey, that’s why we have a party apparatus! Murders of dozens of people, as in the George Floyd riots? You can’t make an omelette without breaking some eggs!

The Democratic Party is utterly contemptible. It should be shunned by all normal Americans.

This is a bit rich!

Your current zombie in the WH did it 4 years ago!

Jim,
It’s fffiiiinnnnneeeeee as long as you are a Democrat or a person of color to make those statements — didn’t you get the memo.

Jeffries wants to be 0bama 2.0: “If they bring a knife, we’ll bring a gun.”

I think 0bama and his race baiting was put to bed this fall. Hopefully, that will carry over to Jeffries.

strange, trump was impeached over saying "fight" -- well, thems the rules, and the dems set the precedent --

I don't believe the OP.

This is probably some Fox BS.

You friggin far rightists get your panties in a wad easily. Believing in lies doesn't help the nation.

Anyway, show your source and prove your claims.

The OP article clearly makes a lot of inferences and is written for rightists.

BTW, IMO street violence is not a solution, yet, and is not going to be helpful.

The fascists tried a violent and well-planned insurrection and that didn't work well, so they did a soft-insurrection through the system with spin and lies.

The fascist takeover is in at least phase two, from the inside. Phase three will be in the streets after Trump's loyalist storm troops are in place.

You actually did not post a quote for us to accesses.

If he called for violence, the House should expel him.

Unless you provide the whole quote, I’ll refrain from making an assertion.

I did a search on "fight it in the streets"

results:

https://www.google.com/search?...fTYQ&sclient=gws-wiz

The source of the OP was Fox News

Note there are several articles in the search results basically parroting Fox, from far right sources. NewsMax chimed in.

I picked one that seems more rationally accurate, with no skewed inferences, lots of quotes, no seizing on something to spin and foment hate, and shows an obvious attempt at truth, like real journalism should.

Democrats leave ’emergency’ meeting vowing ‘street fight’ in response to Trump actions
by Mike Lillis - 01/29/25 6:03 PM ET

House Democrats launched a multilateral effort Wednesday to combat the flood of executive actions from President Trump, vowing to punch back through legislation, lawsuits and a blitz of counter-messaging.

In a virtual meeting of the House Democratic Caucus — conducted on Zoom because the House is in recess — party leaders and Democratic committee heads laid out the contours of their strategy, which will lean heavily on efforts to inform voters of the real-world effects of Trump’s actions.

It was an “emergency” discussion sparked by the Trump administration’s move — since rescinded — to freeze trillions of dollars for federal grants and loans. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) told his troops to pursue all avenues of opposition — and take that fight to the streets, according to several Democrats who participated in the meeting.

“I don’t want to speak for the leader,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) said afterward, “but it was a broad call for action — and a vigorous one.”

“House Democrats are now fully engaged. The bell has rung. I think we see this for the constitutional test that it is, and we’re going to be aggressively pushing back,” echoed Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.).

“Leader Jeffries described it as a legal fight, a legislative fight and a street fight. And I couldn’t put it better.”

The Democrats have a challenging road ahead as they seek to block Trump’s aggressive agenda, which features a broad dismantling of the federal government and how it operates.

On the legislative front, Republicans control both chambers of Congress, leaving Democrats virtually powerless to bring bills to the floor.

And as a legal matter, the courts have already ruled that congressional lawmakers lack the standing to challenge presidents when they refuse to spend federal dollars as Congress directed. That’s the controversy at the center of the White House’s move this week to freeze federal spending on hundreds of programs while agency officials weed out diversity initiatives and other efforts that don’t align with Trump’s priorities.

Still, Democrats are hardly powerless in the debate, even from the minority.

That’s because House Republicans have a historically slim majority, and GOP leaders are already struggling to unify their feuding conference for the sake of passing Trump’s ambitious legislative agenda. That will lend Democrats plenty of voice in the coming fights over must-pass legislation like funding the government and raising the debt ceiling, and they say they intend to use it.

So we do not have the quote.

Good job Fox News. The marks popped.

Why did you seize on "in the streets"?

Looked to me his emphasis was legislatively, and legally, with the down tone when he referred to "streets", like an after-thought.

And, it's YOUR inference that he was calling for street riots. He didn't say that - Fox did and you were led to the inference and then another and so forth like a castrated boar hog with a leash on his nose ring.

O do not see a calm for violence.

MLKjr fought segregation in the streets. That was non-violent.

I would have used a different word, phrase. However, it is not’ “I am calling on citizens to use violence to disrupt…”

You can read it as a call for violence as framed by the OP. That would be unreasonable. His tone of voice is not even directing anger to action.

I sure hope these unconstitutional power grabs by this President are fought in the courts and w legislation.

I hope folks get out and peacefully but disruptively demonstrate against these unconstitutional power grabs and violations of federal law concerning civil servants.

I good march, set in, non violent strike. I am all for it.
