LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON REP. PRAMILA JAYAPAL

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

“I condemn the hateful and vile threats made against Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal. These dangerous comments calling for her execution are unconscionable. Arizona legislators must hold this unhinged elected official accountable for contributing to an unsafe environment and risking bodily harm to a sitting Member of Congress. There is no place for the incitement of political violence in this country. Republican leaders must reject it immediately.”
