House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries arrives to speak to reporters at the Capitol in Washington, on Sept. 12, 2023. | J. Scott Applewhite/AP PhotoHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday repeatedly referred to House Republicans as being engaged in “a civil war.”
Jeffries told host Jonathan Karl: “Civil war has the following attributes: Chaos, dysfunction and extremism. The House Republican civil war is hurting hard-working American taxpayers and limiting our ability to be able to solve problems on their behalf, it’s unfortunate but as House Democrats we are going to continue to try and find common ground with the other side of the aisle.”
“We urge our Republican colleagues in the House to join us, stop fighting each other, end the reckless, reprehensible Republican civil war and let’s get to the business of the American people,” Jeffries said.
