Steve Benen @stevebenen.com · May 7 I get the sense that Republicans find this terribly inconvenient, but Jeffries borrowed the “maximum warfare” phrase from a Trump White House official. It appeared in an August 2025 NYT article (tinyurl.com/mrx24tdm) about Trump’s gerrymandering crusade.

Nah
If Jeffries actually advocated for harming the president his poll numbers wouldn’t be in the toilet among Dems
As AR Moxon said, we need to understand that for fascists hypocrisy is a virtue, another tool of power that they can do something that others cannot.
Goebbels and Roy Cohn. Always accuse the other side of that which you are doing.
JANUARY 6 JANUARY 6 JANUARY 6 JANUARY 6 JANUARY 6 JANUARY 6 They pretend it never happened and I can’t think of much more dangerous recent historic omission. Democrats need to beat the shit out of them for their rank hypocrisy, pedophile cover ups, pardoned fraudsters and drug dealers.
Yeah, but it's serious when it's coming out of someone's mouth that has a pension to be uppity...
You quote them back to their gang and suddenly it's YOU who's the one saying shit that isn't cool. The Republican party is full of just the whiniest little babies I have ever seen in my life. You don't like it. Don't say it in the first place.
🤬🤬🤬
Like the Jan 6th people who got paid travel expenses.
OMG the kindergarten antics of the Republican party has gotten so ridiculous. Who can take the seriously? How can anyone vote for them? They are utterly incompetent, dishonest, crybabies at all times on all issues
Trump's age is higher than his IQ. Am I right?
No one should be surprised that Jeffries is having a douchebag-off with a GOP official
Facts aren't inconvenient if you ignore them.
Release the Epstein files!
Tired: Words aren't violence, toughen up snowflakes! Wired: Repeating my own words back to me is actually violence.

Thank you for confirming, it definitely sounded like a GOP slogan. Jeffries should respond accordingly. Truth can be inconvenient.
Easily resolved. It's only violence when the other side does it.
They don’t care. All they do is project their own evil and insecurities onto others
Trump literally wants to destroy American Democracy. He wants chaos , for the working class. Fear, then he controls. What a whack job. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Trump believes anyone disagreeing with him should be imprisoned. Just like Putin, Kim, or any other nutty autocrat.
Given that we know that everything trump says about others is projection, can someone remind me of his last incitement to violence? I've lost count.
It's you who are destroying our country, Mr. President
Warmaxxing?
Every accusation is a confession. Imho.
