Leader Jeffries Speaks to Press

Published | Video Starts at 22:38

You know, he, I think he talked about dignity and decency and things of that nature. And then all we're seeing is Republicans do the exact opposite. It's extraordinary to me. We had patriotic members of the House and the Senate have their lives threatened by Donald Trump in the most unhinged, unacceptable, unconscionable and un-American way. Disgusting and dangerous. What Donald Trump has said in accusing patriotic members of Congress and the Senate, who served this country well, of treason and suggesting they should be killed, that's disgusting. (22:38–22:54)
