Hakeem Jeffries tells Trump to ‘shut his reckless mouth’ in response to post blasting Dems

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) fired back at President Trump Sunday after the commander-in-chief argued the Democratic Party is now the country’s “greatest enemy.”

“Donald Trump should keep his reckless mouth shut before he gets somebody killed,” Jeffries said during an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” when asked about Trump’s Sunday morning Truth Social post.

In the post, the president asserted that Democrats are a greater foe than Iran now that the Islamic regime has been crippled by Operation Epic Fury.

“Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!” Trump wrote. “Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

On Saturday, Trump said that “Radical Left Democrats have hurt so many people with their vicious and uncaring ways.”

The president specifically cited the congressional fight over Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding.

Democrats have largely voted against funding DHS, which has been partially shut down since Feb. 14, without changes to federal immigration enforcement operations.

The shutdown has wreaked havoc on airports nationwide, with travelers facing hours-long security lines in airports short of TSA screeners (some of whom have walked off the job after missing paychecks).

“What they have done to the Department of Homeland Security, our fantastic TSA Officers, and, most importantly, the great people of our Country, is an absolute disgrace,” Trump said of Democrats.

“The Fascist Democrats will never protect America, but the Republicans will,” the president raged, as he announced his intention to deploy ICE agents to airports to help out TSA. Some on the left, including prominent Democrats, have long accused Trump of being a “fascist.”
