Less than two weeks ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-Of Course) called upon people to fight the “extreme MAGA Republican agenda” not just “legislatively” and “in the courts” but “in the streets.” The Trump White House has demanded that Jeffries apologize for inciting violence, and of course, Jeffries did not do so. And now yet another House Democrat has said much the same thing that Jeffries said. Do these people want to incite a new civil war? If they don’t, they certainly seem to like playing with rhetorical fire.
Fox News reported that Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-Victimhood), a longtime leftist leader who was first elected to the House in 1987, left in 1996 to become president of the NAACP, and returned to the House in 2020, spoke at a rally in Baltimore on Monday. Mfume railed against Elon Musk’s efforts to end waste and fraud in government and called the Department of Government Efficiency the “department of government evil.”
Having worked himself up into a fine froth, Mfume thundered: “This will be a congressional fight, a constitutional fight, a legal fight, and on days like this a street fight, yes we will stand.” It was remarkable how closely his words aligned with those of Jeffries. It’s hard to escape the impression that the Democrat leadership in the House really wants to see people becoming violent in opposition to Trump’s policies.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) posted on X about how odd and disproportionate Mfume’s response was to DOGE’s mission: “A ‘street fight’ to stop cuts to wasteful spending? Those are fighting words. And they’re not honorable words.” Indeed.
Tim Fazenbaker, a who ran unsuccessfully in 2020 and 2022 for a Maryland congressional seat, posted the video of Mfume’s words with this comment suggesting that Mfume’s rage against DOGE may have a self-serving cause: “Congressman Kweisi Mfume calling for a street fight against @realDonaldTrump, @elonmusk and us. Unfortunately, due to gerrymandering, this is my congressman. The same one that was getting nearly $400,000,000.00 to bring illegals and refugees to my community.” Well, that certainly does explain why Mfume would hate DOGE.
A spokesman for Mfume, however, tried to dispel the impression that Mfume was going ballistic about making government less wasteful and more honest, insisting that Mfume is “not opposed to cutting waste, fraud, and abuse.” Yeah, sure he is. If anything is clear in this world, it is that Kweisi Mfume is a courageous warrior for government transparency and reform.
The spokesperson continued:
He is the Ranking Member of the United States House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations and that has been a focus of his bipartisan work alongside Subcommittee Chair Pete Sessions for the last two years. Congressman Mfume supports many things to make government run better, including ending cost overruns at the Department of Defense, tackling the underworld of fraud and improper payments associated with government spending, and establishing a scorecard within agencies which measures their ability to curb waste – he has worked with at least a dozen inspector generals on these issues.
Yeah, nothing is clearer than the fact that Mfume wants to tackle government waste, just as it’s clear that he wants to sow racial harmony and heal racial division.
The spokesperson also took pains to ensure that nobody got the crazy idea that Mfume was calling for violence: “Congressman Mfume was talking about going neighbor to neighbor and person to person to fight to win the hearts, minds, and souls of disaffected voters who didn’t participate in the last election or who are turned off by the current process. He believes everybody needs to be engaged and you have to be able to fight where people are to talk with them and to get them engaged and bring them back to the fold.” Yeah, when I want everybody to be engaged, I always find that calling for a “street fight” is the way to go about it.
Mfume’s language follows a longstanding leftist pattern. Remember what Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Absolut) said back in 2018, during Trump’s first administration: “I just don’t even know why there aren’t uprisings all over the country. And maybe there will be.” Soon after that, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Get Trump) said this about Trump’s Cabinet members: “If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd and you push back on them! And you tell them that they are not welcome, anymore, anywhere.” And Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-Sinister) is in some hot water now for warning that Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch would “pay the price” for opposing the left’s agenda.
Leftist leaders love to call for violence and then blame patriots when that violence comes. This only works, however, when they enjoy near-total political and cultural hegemony. Those days are passing.
Kweisi Mfume, the race-hustling Democ-rat congressman from Baltimore, calls for fighting in the streets to oppose the policies of President Trump, but he has nothing to say about the violent black thugs who shot dead a black grandmother and wounded two family members as they sat in her car at a red-light in northeast Baltimore on January 22, 2025. The whole thing was videotaped by nearby surveillance cameras. According to TV reports, the ambush murder may have resulted from an earlier altercation at a school basketball game. Black on black murder is commonplace in Baltimore. Until such depraved violence can be attributed to the policies of President Trump, Kweisi Mfume and other race-hustling politicians on Capitol Hill will have nothing to say about it. The proverbial cat has their tongue. No wonder sensible blacks are abandoning the Democ-rat party in droves.
Hey Demo-Rat War Monger want a Street War want Blood on your Hands?! STOP IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!
And I forget SKREEET SKREET SKREEEEEE
Hopefully DOGE and company are stripping the vast networks of cash from these Rent-a-Riot coordinators.
I also noticed that Marxine Waters has stopped using the “burn it down” rhetoric since the LA fires. Seems that slogan just doesn’t get the traction it used to.
Gotta give it to Kwazy Emphoomay. This doddering old fool could be charged with incitement if Bondi has the cojones to do it.
Notice it’s only the blacks in Congress calling for violence. Lets see if these revolutionary dodderers have the balls to riot in the streets. Pu$$ies all.
…and practically all of them are members of the Congressional Black Caucus. In 1993 it made what Dr. Carol Swain, in the American Prospect more than two decades ago, wrote as “the most costly mistake,” a “sacred covenant” with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, which had to rescinded shortly afterwards after public outrage. Kweisi Mfume was leader of the C.B.C. at the time. He would later become president of NAACP, co-founded by communist W.E.B. Du Bois, before being re-elected to Congress 26 years later.
Apparently, he forgets the second amendment of our Constitution! Bring it on but be ready because we are sick-to-death if your asinine rhetoric and we will be armed and dangerous!
Go ahead, make our day! B
Back in the George Floyd riot in the streets days, Seattle took quite a beating from all the Marxists. The “movement” tried to spread out to the surrounding suburbs, One small town’s citizens lined the business district, armed and prepared to prevent burned storefronts and assaults. A scout for the black riot-prone mass was reported to have said, “Don’t go there, they gots crazy White people with guns all over the place”
There were too many of them for some DA to try and make an example of–yes this was still the Left leaning Puget Sound–but in the days after, the town’s mayor resigned in shame over the fact that armed people PREVENTED chaos in his town.
Useful idiots abound. Hopefully, they will be voted out in any upcoming election.
I do hope the days of “justice shopping” are over. One thing for sure is that if it occurs in one of those hotbeds of Community Pride and businesses and homes are destroyed and burned the Federal Gov’t just steps aside and lets the LOCALS handle the aftermath! You want to “rage and shop”? Fine, but don’t expect any assistance to rebuild!
AND, don’t expect to be “forgiven” for your actions like the previous FBI/DOJ have done!
All those calling for violence in the streets should be censured by the House or Senate and removed from ALL Committees. It has to stop!
We all know exactly was this parasite was talking about. He was giving his last gasp of the Democratic party (ship of fools) and making a poor attempt to appear sane. These communists are desperate and have run into an immovable object, namely the Donald. We won’t realize how fortunate Trump’s election was for every American until these parasites are held responsible for inciting violence in the streets of America. The DOJ should order more subpoenas because they will run out of them soon. Shall we call them traitors? They are more loyal to their Marxist principles than the constitution. I think Trumps mantra is going to be “f*ck around and find out”. He is an immovable object. He has iron resolve and drive that America has not seen in the Oval Office. There is no pace for the traitorous communists to hide as they are exposed individually. Get out your popcorn folks and put your full support behind this bull in a China shop.
Big talk from a political pipsqueak. Just shoo him away like an annoying insect. Or at best, give him the sort of kindly smile you might give a disruptive lunatic: “Thank you Congressman. We’ll get back to you.” Then just move on as if it never happened.
These imbecilic hypocrites will never learn. THEY persecuted, whined & wanked about peaceful protesters on J6, accusing THEM of trying to incite riot & overthrow the govt, which had just been overthrown through the rampant cheating that put a senile pants pooping drooling babbling hack in the WH. NIW THEY’RE the ones inciting violence, lawless & unrest?? RESLKY!?? SRSLY? Who ATEXthese obtuse imbecilic troglodytes???
What really disturbs Jeffries, Mfume, Watters and others is not Trump so much as their own lack of relevancy. Trump did not win the black vote by accident, he offered solutions to the messes in our inner cities, while the Democrats only offered more rage and posturing. None of these black “leaders” live in the sewers their open border policies and police defunding created, their kids don’t go to inner city schools, and I think minority America finally woke up to that fact.
Do these looser idiots think they are fighting grandma’s with umbrella’s
What do they think is going to happen if someone took them up on their stupid threats ..
The thing I find amazing is the amount of stupid people that vote for them … where do they come from ??
Wasn’t there a song a few years ago that went “Don’t try that in a small town”?
Hey, if they want to fight, let’s fight! I am tired of these communist, anti-American bunch of thieves. I am geared up, squared away and ready to roll out. Bring it on pussies. Time to answer for your dirty deeds.
