Yikes: This Threat to Kristi Noem From Hakeem Jeffries Isn't Toning Down the Temperature at All

Democrats have been whipping up anger against President Donald Trump and his team throughout his two administrations, and they don't care about what might occur as a result.

Even after the assassination attempts, even with Trump being shot in the ear and nearly having his head blown off, the Democrats still wouldn't scale back their language. They're still at an 11 on a 1-10 scale of danger. No, he's not a fascist or a Nazi. What he is is a danger to their power, and that's always been the real problem for them.

They're doing it again with the anti-ICE mania. If you listen to the leftist discussion, ICE is Trump's Gestapo, kidnapping people to concentration camps. Oh, and he's going to use their rioting as an excuse to shut down the elections and seize power forever. They're demonizing the enforcement of the law that Congress enacted. Yes, it's nuts, but it's their propaganda, and they're falling for it.

That's why, on Thursday, what House Minority Leader, Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-8) said was so bad. He was railing against Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem, "She's got to go!"

"We are dead serious!" Jeffries ranted. "She needs to be put on ice, permanently! She's gotta go! And by the way, she's not the only one."

Yikes. That sounds like a threat, and not just to her.

Fox News' Aishah Hasnie said Jeffries later addressed his word choice when called out on the obvious problem.

“She needs to be put on ice. It's clear, right? That means gone. G-O-N-E. From her position. Don't misinterpret anything that I've said," he said. Yeah, no. You can't say that before all the cameras, and then try to clean it up in a way that doesn't even clean it up, and claim to speak against violence. This isn't lowering the temperature, it's ramping it up.

Democrats freaked out over Trump using the word "fight," claiming that it was inciting, so it's their rules. I'm tired of how they keep doing this.

This was also disgraceful, as he said Noem was responsible for "cutting down American lives in cold blood."

Frankly, this is far worse than anything they think Noem may have said. Language like this is why you have crazy people obstructing and attacking ICE and other federal immigration agents.

So are Democrats going to call for Jeffries to step down? Will they moderate their language?

Of course not, they have no shame. They are truly off the rails.
