Democrats truly aren’t holding back anymore. Weeks after Rep. Rashida Tlaib made headlines for saying “impeach the motherfucker” to a private audience, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) has called the president “the grand wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.” Jeffries, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, made his comments during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event hosted by the National Action Network in New York. “These are challenging times in the United States of America—we have a hater in the White House, a birther in chief, the grand wizard of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,” he said. “One of the things that we’ve learned is that while Jim Crow may be dead, he still got some nieces and nephews that are alive and well.” Jeffries previously called Trump a “racial arsonist” for the way he handled the white-nationalist Charlottesville rally.
