 Jeffries Defends ‘Grand Wizard’ Comment About Trump: ‘I Don’t Regret the Use of the Language’
Posted By Mikhael Smits On January 27,

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D., N.Y.) defended insulting the president during an appearance on "Meet the Press" Sunday.

During an Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, Jeffries called the president a "burglar" and alluded to the Klu Klux Klan in calling him a "grand wizard."

Jeffries, the House Democratic Caucus chair, directed the insults at President Donald Trump as he spoke to a crowd of NAACP supporters.

"We have a hater in the White House, a burglar-in-chief, the grand wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue," he said at the time, referencing the head position of the white supremacist KKK.

Gotta say this,   you have to admire the way the enemy never backs down and apologizes.

Wish our side would do the same.

At least Hakeem didn't call him "Hitler"

This is so tiresome. It's like they don't even want to make any effort to come up with a fact. If you really want to criticize Trump for something, at least find some flaw with some truth to it. The man is not a racist, no matter what his faults may be.

Agreed, there is plenty on which to criticize Trump without having to make things up.

But the legitimate grounds for criticism of Trump would also implicate essentially all Democrats, and would not reinforce the identity politics script the Democrat party has adopted.  If MLK Jr ran today as a Republican, with Ghandi as his running mate,  the Democrats would call them racists.  Henceforth the charge should simply be ignored until it can be turned against the Democrats case by case.

While we're accurately referring to Democrats as bigots, we also might ask why Bernie Sanders hates homosexuals.
