At a Monday news conference, Jeffries dismissed criticism over his rhetoric following the third apparent assassination attempt on President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington, DC.
Jeffries insisted he denounces political violence, while sharply criticizing White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and Florida’s proposed congressional map, calling it a 'DeSantis dummymander' and 'blatantly unconstitutional.'
Republicans, including the NRCC, accused Democrats of fueling hostility, while Jeffries argued the GOP started the redistricting battle and vowed Democrats would 'finish it' ahead of the November midterm elections.
