The Democrats are at it again. After watching their political machine crash and burn under the weight of Trump’s overwhelming presidential victory, they’ve decided their best bet is taking the fight to the streets.
After accusing Trump of being a Nazi and rhetoric that resulted in two failed assassination attempts, they have decided that street fighting is still the way to go in their battle against Orange Man Bad.
According to American Wire, House Minority Leader Democrat Hakeem Jeffries (NY) said at a recent event talking about Trump, “Right now, 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. We are going to fight it legislatively. We are going to fight it in the courts. We’re going to fight it in the streets.”
These words are reminiscent of elderly 86-year-old California Rep. Maxine Watters, who in 2018 told Democrats to harass Trump supporters and administration officials because of Trump’s immigration policies, saying “Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And 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.”
Watters continued to try to rile people up with other rhetoric including calling protesters to “get more confrontational” if no guilty verdict was reached in the Derek Chauvin trial.
The inflammatory rhetoric from Watters and other Democrats, combined with the organized Black Lives Matter/Antifa riots in 2020, led to Republicans being harassed, chased out of restaurants and public spaces, and assaulted. The chaos when the Democrats took to the “streets” during Trump’s first term included arson, vandalism, and murder – often uncharged. Additionally, websites documented numerous violent incidents targeting Trump supporters that have pretty much all been scrubbed from the internet.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) said on X about Jeffries’ “Maxine Watters” moment: “Hakeem Jeffries just gave the dog whistle to the violent ground troops of the always radical communist left. Remember last time when Democrats did this? We had 4 years of violence and insanity. Apologize Hakeem Jeffries.”
