Hakeem Jeffries Attacks Karoline Leavitt, Defends ‘Maximum Warfare' Promise Before Assassination Attempt of Trump
[Breitbart] During a press conference on Monday, Hakeem Jeffries labeled Leavitt a “stone-cold liar,” and accused her of reading “talking points” and being critical of words Democrats had said.

“I know you said you stand by your comment, but at the same time you have been a subject of threats as well, so, with respect to this comment about maximum warfare, even if it’s about redistricting, why not tone down the language here, in this moment?” a reporter asked.

“I think that what’s interesting to me, as you’ve pointed out, is that the so-called White House press secretary, who’s a disgrace, she’s a stone-cold liar, had the nerve to stand up there and read talking points, being critical of statements — all taken out of context, that Democrats have made,” Jeffries said. Jeffries added that Leavitt made no mention of comments from “MAGA extremists.”

Jeffries’s comments came after Leavitt, during a press conference on Monday, called for people to tone “down the rhetoric” in the aftermath of a gunman opening fire at the Washington Hilton Hotel on Saturday night. President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and other Cabinet officials were evacuated from the room after gunshots were heard during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

#1  Would be a horrible shame if people started targeting the communist left for extermination due to their rhetoric.

Just sayin'

#3  Did lit'l jimmy k really have some stuff drop out of his nasty mouth about a week ago?

#4  Indeed, jimmy k said some very nasty things about POTUS and the First Lady. His remarks were so nasty I refuse to repeat them. These are nasty, vicious, dishonest people. Call me a conspiracy theorist if you will but I wouldn't put anything past them.

#5  I wondered about the origins of the name Hakeem. AIs take on it is:

"Hakeem is a masculine name of Arabic origin (derived from ḥakīm), meaning "wise," "sage," "learned," or "physician". It is deeply rooted in Islamic tradition as one of the 99 attributes of Allah (Al-Ḥakīm), representing perfect wisdom. The name is often associated with knowledge, intellect, and sound judgment."

Personally, IMHO a village somewhere in the Mideast has found its idiot and sent him to the U.S. My opinion of AI has gone down as well although my opinion of AI wasn't that high to begin with.

#7  It was so foul gave some benefit it had been rendered. Nope. I'm guessing he heard a bathhouse rumor and wanted to show how clever and connected he is.

Then there is omar, who successfully updated the tiktokrs are stupid meme "world war eleven" into a Learing Academy meme.
