Hakeem Jeffries doubles down on 'maximum warfare' rhetoric, tells critics 'I don't give a damn'

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries defended his 'maximum warfare' rhetoric against Republicans, dismissing critics and linking the phrase to a 2025 White House report. He faced backlash from Republicans and the National Republican Congressional Committee, who accused Democrats of inciting violence. Jeffries also criticized White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and targeted gerrymandering efforts in Florida and Virginia.
