From Fox News: As headlines spread like wildfire that former President Trump was likely targeted in a second assassination attempt, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries posted a message to X demanding supporters “stop” the “extreme MAGA Republicans.”
“Extreme MAGA Republicans are the party of a national abortion ban and Trump’s Project 2025,” Jeffries, D-N.Y., posted to X at 3:30 p.m. Sunday.
“We must stop them.”
The statement was posted well after news broke that Trump was safe following what authorities described as a likely assassination attempt on his life.
Jeffries falsely tied the “Project 2025” document to Trump, who has repeatedly stated that he has nothing to do with it.
Extreme MAGA Republicans are the party of a national abortion ban and Trump’s Project 2025.
We must stop them.

Jeffries also wants investigative journalist Laura Loomer stopped. In another post on Saturday, he fumed, “There are more than 250 Republican Members of Congress. Less than 5 have firmly denounced Donald Trump’s close affiliation with the conspiracy-peddling bigot Laura Loomer. Why is it so difficult for extreme MAGA Republicans to distinguish right from wrong?”

Then, ironically, Jeffries added, “Political violence has no place in a democratic society.”

You “must stop them?”
Why would you post this after a second assassination attempt against President Trump’s life?
This is inciting violence.

I’m starting to think “extreme MAGA Republicans” don’t exist and the real extremists are you guys.

Are you and your peers in your party very disappointed today that a person who took direct action was stopped by the Secret Service, Rep. Jeffries?

Looks like someone was listening to you.
You belong in jail.

Your posts are exactly why there are multiple attempts on Trump’s life. YOU are complicit.

Rhetoric like this is what keeps perpetuating violence against Trump and his supporters.
If something bad happens, YOU OWN IT.

This was a call to action
