White House Demands Apology from Jeffries over 'Fight' Against Trump Agenda

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries faced backlash after pledging to 'fight' against President Trump's agenda 'in the streets' during a press conference in Brooklyn. The White House condemned his comments as incitement to violence, demanding an apology and questioning whether he would 'double down' on such rhetoric. Jeffries defended his remarks, with his spokesperson asserting that he meant nonviolent protest, highlighting the need to oppose what he termed the 'extreme MAGA Republican agenda' that harms working-class Americans. Republican leaders, including Rep. Tom Emmer, called for Jeffries to apologize, framing his statements as inflammatory and divisive. Jeffries emphasized his commitment to fight Trump's policies through legislative and judicial means as well. The situation has intensified political tensions, with Democrats dismissing calls for an apology and framing the discourse around protecting the interests of everyday Americans.
