House Dem Leader Jeffries: "F*** Donald Trump"

Source: Axios

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) tore into President Trump on Friday for posting a racist video of the Obamas, saying in a clip posted to social media: "F*** Donald Trump."It's a drastic escalation of the rhetoric between the House Democratic leader and the White House amid delicate negotiations on immigration enforcement.

But it's not the first time things have gotten personal between Trump and Jeffries, who clashed last autumn over AI-generated videos Trump posted of Jeffries wearing a sombrero. This time, however, Trump's account posted a now-deleted video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes, drawing harsh criticism from lawmakers in both parties.

"This disgusting video, posted by the so-called president, was done intentionally," Jeffries said in the clip, contradicting the White House's claim that it was an erroneous post by a staffer. "F*** Donald Trump and his vile, racist and malignant behavior. This guy is an unhinged bottom-feeder," the Democratic leader continued. The Obamas, he continued, represent "the best of this country."

Jeffries called for Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.), House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and other Republicans to "denounce this serial fraudster who's sitting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue pretending to be the president."

Actually, it is way beyond time for republicans to stand up against troglodyte Donnie dumpster. It is over a decade late for them to stand up against him so don’t hold your breath.

I hope Nipsey Hussle's 'F*ck Donald Trump' makes a huge comeback.
