Hakeem Jeffries is facing intense criticism after a controversial tweet posted shortly after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
While full details have yet to be confirmed, it appears that Trump was the subject of a failed assassination attempt against him at his Mar-a-Lago resort while playing golf on Sunday afternoon.
Rather than condemning the violence, Jeffries instead took to the X platform to rant about the now-dissolved Project 2025 and the prospect of a national abortion ban, a policy that Trump has repeatedly ruled out.
“Extreme MAGA Republicans are the party of a national abortion ban and Trump’s Project 2025,” he wrote. “We must stop them.”
