Are the protests which broke out over the weekend across the country directly related to Jeffries' call to "fight ... in the streets?"

Rep. Jeffries unleashed the threatening rhetoric while speaking at a press even, where he was condemning potential tax cuts he attributed to the "MAGA Republican agenda":

"We are 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 billionaire donors and wealthy corporations and then stick New Yorkers and working-class Americans across the country with the bill. That is not acceptable.

"We are going to fight it legislatively.

"We are going to fight it in the courts.

"And, we are going to fight it in the streets.

"Thank you, everyone."

After video clips of Jeffries' threat were posted on Elon Musk's X.com, the social media platform was flooded with responses expressing objections and concerns.

The White House subsequently posted a statement asking if Jeffries will apologize to the American people for his "sick call for violence":

Will House Minority Leader Jeffries Apologize to the American People?

At a press conference this morning in Brooklyn, 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?

Jeffries' remark echoes a similar fight-in-the-street comment he made earlier this week, and is redolent of other such threatening rhetoric by other Democrats, such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
