House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries expressed his anger during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, telling President Trump to stop speaking and warning that his rhetoric could lead to violence (like when Democrats call us “Nazis” and “threats to democracy”). What sparked Jeffries’ meltdown? Well, from my perspective, Trump dropped a truth bomb on Jeffries’ party that the Speaker just didn’t like.
In a post on his Truth Social media platform early Sunday morning, Trump celebrated the collapse of the Iranian regime and shifted his focus to identifying the real enemy of the American people—besides the media, of course.
“Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!” he wrote. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
Frankly, that rings true to me and not simply because of my conservative leanings. It rings true because, as I write this, we are something like three weeks into the latest Democrat-caused government shutdown, this one over their attempt to shut down ICE and stop them from deporting their illegal voter base. If that isn’t the work of an enemy of the people, then I don’t know what is.
Jeffries has been no stranger to slinging dangerous rhetoric our way. And let’s not forget, Democrats in general were labeling Trump the second coming of Adolph Hitler, as well as “a threat to democracy” and to the country in the months before he was nearly shot to death in Butler, Pa.:
Democrats’ rhetoric stoking fear and hatred against former President Donald Trump — including repeated comparisons to Adolf Hitler — is coming into a harsh new light following the assassination attempt against him on Saturday.
Trump’s political opponents have long used incendiary language in response to his more controversial statements — commonly casting him as a cartoon villain hellbent on bringing about the end of democracy itself.
Their divisive statements frequently include tossing around words like “dictator” or making overt references to the Holocaust or Nazi Germany.
Republicans now blame this very rhetoric for stoking the assassination attempt that got Trump shot and left a hero firefighter dead and two others critically wounded.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), who is vying to succeed Sen. Mitch McConnell as Senate Majority leader, wrote on X, “Democrats and liberals in the media have called Trump a fascist. They’ve compared him to Hitler. This isn’t some unfortunate incident, this was an assassination attempt by a madman inspired by the rhetoric of the radical left.”
So now, Dime Store Obama wants to feign shock and dismay at Trump’s comments?
But seriously, if you were an enemy of the United States, what would you do differently from this list of Democrat policies, platforms, and objectives:
- Leaving our borders open to criminals and terrorists.
- Weaponizing government and intelligence agencies against political opponents, trying to imprison them.
- Attacking and squashing free speech.
- Deliberately weakening the economy with policies designed to benefit foreign nations before America first.
Democrats, as Trump states — Greatest. Enemy. America. Has.
No lies detected.
Jeffries and his party have spent much of the past decade labeling conservatives as Nazis or fascists and attempting to brand ICE agents as the Gestapo. This inflammatory rhetoric has had real-world consequences, including two assassination attempts on Trump and violent attacks on conservative figures like Charlie Kirk, who was actually killed by a left-wing nut job radicalized by left-wing nutjobs like Jeffries.
In these instances, the attackers or their sympathizers have used the same “fascist” framing to justify their actions. When Hakeem says to “shut your reckless mouth” before someone gets killed, he should look into a mirror.
