House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said President Donald Trump could get “somebody killed” after the president accused Democrats of being the country’s “greatest enemy” after Iran.

On Sunday, the president posted, “Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!” Trump also said Saturday that “Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways” and that “Fascist Democrats will never protect America.”

In an interview with CNN’s State of the Union, Jeffries replied, “Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed.”

In recent years, targeted political violence has escalated, and political leaders in both parties have tried to tackle the growing crisis. A January report from the U.S. Capitol Police found that threats toward members of Congress, their families, staff and the Capitol complex surged in 2025, with over 5,000 more incidents reported than the previous year.

[Bluetus]

17. And this is EXACTLY WHY he said it.

It isn't reckless. It is intentional.

I'm glad Jeffries spoke out, but really, why did it take this long?

8. FInally and start screaming to and the war NOW !

[Chemical Bill]

9. Both sides....

"...targeted political violence has escalated, and political leaders in both parties have tried to tackle the growing crisis."

Funny how they don't break down the threats as to which party was threatened, and they don't break down the political leaders by which party tried to tackle the growing crisis.

[PXR-5]

10. Quiet Piggy

"Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen"

[Aussie105]

12. Any glimmer of hope that Trump might come good somehow . . .

disappeared when he made a 'sneaky Japanese' joke about Pearl Harbor in front of the Japanese PM.

Why she didn't slap him or walk out, I will never know.

[swong19104]

13. When was the last time

the “left” committed political violence? Squeaky Fromme in 1975?

[JohnnyRingo]

14. Fascists? What happened to Socialists?

Either Stephen Miller throws a dart and picks the name de'jour, or he's projecting what he's accused of again.
Next the democratic party will have cankles.

[Cha]

22. Both... PEDO is spitting out Everything

that he is. .. and that Nazi pile of Shit Miller.

[tavernier]

15. Instead of "gets someone killed"

he should have said, “gets even more people killed.”

26. Trump will likely take the words of Jeffries and

find something more offensive to respond to.

[Joinfortmill]

27. Good. Keep calling him out - BLUNTLY.

[Playingmantis]

28. I just cant get my disgust for this man out of my mind

I just cant figure out what to do to rid myself of this feeling of total hate toward this man and all that support him.

No matter what he does, nothing or no one can or will hold him accountable for anything..Not inciting a riot , stealing secret documents, constant lying, sexual attacks, thugs in the street and more.

I am beyond words at how he is able to get away with it all.

Today the stock market is up 1000 points .. had hoped a falling market would crush him but once again he escapes..


Any words of hope you can offer would be appreciated..
