Leader Jeffries Speaks to Press

Published | Video Starts at 23:20

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. But we, of course, have come to expect this from Donald Trump. What's extraordinary to me is that Mike Johnson doesn't even have the decency to distance himself from Donald Trump's death threats leveled at patriotic members of Congress. Even John Thune found it reasonable for him to say he disagrees with what Donald Trump accused members of Congress of doing earlier today. (23:20–23:36)
