House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is not in the least repentant about calling for “maximum warfare” against Republicans; in fact, he doubled down. That’s because he and would-be assassin Cole Allen are the mainstream of the Democrat Party now.
Allen’s unhinged manifesto labeled Donald Trump “a pedophile, rapist, and traitor.” Those are all epithets that you can find on mainstream media networks and outlets, across leftist social media accounts, and in speeches and posts from prominent Democrat politicians. Allen didn’t come up with his wacky passion for assassinating Trump on his own. He is the third individual to try to kill the president in the last couple years. He is one of thousands of leftist domestic terrorists and one of millions of wokies who think the country would be better off if Trump and all of his administration officials were shot. Cole Allen and Jeffries are not the Dem exception; they are the rule.
Democrats, of course, have been engaging in some thoroughly egregious and unconstitutional gerrymandering in multiple states, including California and Virginia. In response, some Republicans have moved to correct previous Democrat gerrymandering and redraw congressional maps to favor Republicans, for instance in Texas and Missouri. Asked what Democrats would do as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis moved to redistrict, Jeffries ruthlessly replied last week, "We are in an era of maximum warfare. Everywhere, all the time." Jeffries' fellow Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) promptly praised the comment.

After Allen's shooting at the White House correspondents' dinner Saturday, Jeffries pretended he was against political violence, but yet refused to retract his call to war with the GOP. He said of that comment "in connection with the redistricting war that Republicans launched, I stand by it. You can continue to criticize me for it, I don't give a damn about your criticism."
Psychotic…

In 1861, the Democrats started a Civil War, at the end of which was Republican President Abraham Lincoln's assassination. In the decades following the war, Democrat domestic terrorism claimed thousands of victims. Democrat President Barack Obama was a product of the ideology of the insidious socialist Saul Alinsky, and Obama deliberately triggered a resurgence in violent racist activism. In the early 2000s up to the present, the USA has suffered from an increasingly large movement of leftist domestic terror, from the BLM riots to the anti-ICE riots to the pro-Hamas and pro-Iran protests. There is a continuum of Democrat violence and political terrorism stretching across two centuries of America's history.

I have said many times before that in a way, the Civil War never really ended — Democrats just switched from the battlefield to terrorism in the streets, weaponization of courts and Congress, and a well-oiled media propaganda machine. Last year, an LGBTQ radical assassinated Charlie Kirk for speaking the truth. Three different people have tried to assassinate Donald Trump. From 2020 until now, there has been an almost continual cycle of riots and violent protests across the country, which Democrats and foreign governments orchestrated and funded.
Hakeem Jeffries called for "maximum warfare" because his party is already at war with America.
