[Video below.] President Donald Trump sharply criticized House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries after the New York Democrat made pointed remarks about the Supreme Court and Republican leadership, escalating tensions between the White House and congressional Democrats.

Trump responded to Jeffries’ comments by disputing his claims and questioning his judgment, calling him a “low-IQ” person and warning that his rhetoric was “dangerous.” The president’s response came after Jeffries delivered a forceful critique of the current Supreme Court, which he characterized as dominated by a “corrupt” MAGA-aligned majority.

During his remarks, Jeffries also signaled that Democrats could take action regarding the Court if they regain power in the upcoming midterm elections, stating that they would “do something” about its current composition.
