At a press briefing, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) slammed President Trump's statement about the Constitution.

Transcript

00:00Afternoon everyone. George Washington in his farewell address to the nation made the important

00:10observation that the Constitution is sacredly obligatory upon all. That means everyone in

00:21the United States of America has a responsibility to follow the Constitution. That includes

00:28presidents of the United States of America. That includes you, Donald Trump. There is nothing

00:37unclear about it. Why does Donald Trump make such ridiculous statements like he's unsure

00:51as to whether he has a responsibility to follow the Constitution? Why is the Republican

00:58Party stuck with Marjorie Taylor Greene as their candidate for the United States Senate

01:06seat in Georgia? Why is the top thing that House Republicans going to do this week on their

01:17legislative agenda renaming the Gulf of Mexico? It's because Donald Trump and House Republicans

01:27are on the run. They're on the run. They're on the run with respect to the economy. They

01:34are crashing the economy in real time and driving us toward a recession. Donald Trump and House

01:42Republicans have nothing good to say about the economy. They promised to lower costs and

01:50to drive down the high cost of living in the United States of America. Costs aren't going

01:53down. They're going up. House Republicans haven't passed a single bill that has anything to do

02:01with lowering the high cost of living in the United States of America. Not a single bill,

02:08no executive order, no administrative action coming from this administration. They're crashing

02:14the economy in real time, driving us toward a recession. Donald Trump and Republicans are on

02:19the run with respect to the economy. They're on the run with respect to healthcare. They want

02:28to enact the largest cut to Medicaid in American history. It's deeply unpopular, which is why

02:37they have been ordered not to hold town hall meetings. Democrats are running toward our constituents,

02:45and House Republicans are running away from them. And Republicans are on the run as it relates

02:50to Social Security. They believe that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. And they're trying

02:57to end Social Security as we know it. Democrats are here to protect and strengthen Social Security.

03:06So when you have Republicans in barely a hundred days on the run, on the economy, on healthcare,

03:14and on Social Security, ridiculous statements are made. Or they're left with scratching the

03:22bottom of the barrel as it relates to candidates for U.S. Senate seats. And they're forced to cancel

03:33the information. They're right.

03:37So when you have a 일 Junkies, you'll see the other people Peyton make their ass, and

03:38they're right.

03:39So when you have a land on the line, you have the rights and you have the rights, you

03:41even might think that you will choose to replace people. At least, you got a lot of

03:44documentation that you've all found out. You're right.

03:44So when you have a job, you've been telling me, you're right.

03:46So when you have a job on the whole year. All this, you're right.

03:48So when you are in the UK, you're right, I'm doing the same thing.

03:48I'm a business owner of a company and you have a job in your organization.

03:51It's in for a execution of an interview and my organization.

03:56I hope you do want to take care for your work.
