Trump said Hakeem Jeffries should be charged with inciting violence, posting the accusation alongside images that included one from an attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. The article also recalls their dispute over Jeffries’s criticism of a Supreme Court ruling on Louisiana’s congressional map.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that Jeffries should be charged with inciting violence and called him “Low IQ.” The article describes images accompanying the post, including one showing Jeffries in front of an image of Trump captioned “Maximum Warfare” and another from the attempted assassination at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The article says Trump had earlier called for Jeffries to be impeached after Jeffries described the Supreme Court as “illegitimate.” Jeffries said the Court’s decision on Louisiana’s second majority-Black congressional district would undermine the Voting Rights Act and communities’ ability to elect their preferred candidates.
