They’re back!
The incendiary left that attempted to occupy the White House in the first Trump administration has returned to its regularly scheduled bomb throwing. Relatively quiet by radical standards in the opening days of Trump’s return to office, the far-left Democratic Party just can’t quit their violent ways.
At a Brooklyn press conference Friday morning, House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries was back to inciting his followers to “fight” President Donald Trump and the MAGA “agenda” in “the streets.”
“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,” the New York Democrat said.
So much for “lower[ing] the temperature in our politics,” the hue and cry from Democrats and their pals in the accomplice media in the days after then-candidate Trump was shot in the head by a would-be assassin.
The White House asked if the minority leader will apologize for the latest “disgusting threat.”
“Or will he double down on the same calls for violence that have plagued the country for years?” the administration demanded in a statement. Spoiler Alert: He’s going to double down.
Jeffries’ office did not return The Federalist’s requests for comment.
We’re not holding our breath. Neither should the White House or Americans at large. We’ve seen this movie before.
Releasing the Whirlwind
Who could forget loudmouth Rep. Maxine Waters urging Americans to harass Trump administration members — wherever they may be?
“If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them, and you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere,” Waters told her backers in June 2018.
That summer, leftists got in the faces of and threatened Trump administration officials and other Republicans. So much for “co-exist.”
A year before, the corporate media-led “resistance” against Trump was the kind of kindling needed to stoke the murderous impulses of a leftist, Republican-hating mass shooter who targeted Republican members of Congress and others as they practiced for a charity baseball game. Then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., was critically injured in the attack.
In 2020, Sen. Chuck Schumer, minority leader then as he is now, infamously threatened conservative Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh that they would “pay the price” should they dare disrupt the “right” to murder unborn children.
“I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” Schumer menacingly told a crowd of angry pro-abortion supporters in 2020.
The leftist whirlwind has since shown up in droves at the homes of conservative justices, whose lives were constantly disrupted and threatened. In one case, a California man was charged with threatening to assassinate Kavanaugh after he was found outside the justice’s Maryland house in 2022 with a gun, knife, and other “tools.” Last year, an Alaska man was arrested on charges of threatening to assassinate, torture, and hang six justices and their family members, according to the Justice Department. The indictment didn’t name the targeted justices, but one could hazard a guess (Hint: Six of the nine justices were nominated by Republican presidents).
‘Aggressively Pushing Back’
Dems are talking tough now after being stunned in November’s election. Jeffries’ pledge to take the fight to the streets is part of a get-tough-on-Trump talking point the weakened Democratic Party is pushing.
“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,” Rep. Jared Huffman, D-Calif., told reporters Wednesday following an “emergency” brain-storming session on how to combat a “since rescinded” federal grant-freezing action from Trump.
“Leader Jeffries described it as a legal fight, a legislative fight and a street fight. And I couldn’t put it better,” Huffman added on Wednesday, according to The Hill.
The radicals who run the party demand action, and we know what that ultimately means.
The leftists that brought you the actual insurrections of the Marxist Black Lives Matter movement and the “mostly peaceful” street riots of 2020 should be taken at their word when they promise to take their Trump resistance movement to the streets. The question is, how long will it be before America again pays the price for the threatening rhetoric of the Democrats who vowed to protect democracy by violently crushing it?
