As Twitchy readers know, Hakeem Jeffries told his followers and supporters that they would have to fight Trump, his policies, and his supporters ‘in the streets,’ which sounds like a fairly violent way to talk about disagreeing politically.

“Do you want a congressional Democratic leadership that fights in the streets or that makes your life better?”
BAM.
Let us think … hrm … better life or dealing with moronic thugs setting fires and stealing purses from Target.
We’ll take the guy offering a better life.
Seems like a pretty simple choice.
