Professor Brother of Hakeem Jeffries Invokes the Violence of John Brown on Social Media

 Legal Insurrection

"This is not the 1800s, and America does not have a slavery problem anymore. We do not even have a serious racism problem anymore, but the left will not let the issue die because they still see it as politically useful."
In penance for George Floyd, Democrats beg you to burn our cities!

"Hasan Kwame Jeffries, the younger brother of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, is a professor of history at Ohio State University. In a recent social media post, he invoked the violence of John Brown, suggesting ‘white supremacy’ should be ended “by any means necessary.”

"Violent rhetoric and actual violence have become normalized on the left. This must end.

"Hakeem Jeffries’ brother invokes John Brown’s violence while discussing white supremacy ‘in the White House’

"Hasan Kwame Jeffries, an Ohio State University professor and the brother of Hakeem Jeffries, made social media posts referencing the elimination of white supremacists “by any means necessary.”

"In a trending social media post, Libs of TikTok highlighted an X post from Jeffries. In the post, he writes, “John Brown understood that the only way to free Americans from the scourge of white supremacy was to get rid of white supremacists by any means necessary. He was right then. He is right now.”

Jeffries cited John Brown, an American abolitionist known for advocating violence to end slavery. One quote from Brown that describes his philosophy states: “I am quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done.”

One person commented on the post, jokingly asking, “Are these ‘white supremacists’ in the room with you now?” Jeffries responded, “Nah. They’re in the White House.” The post further suggests that Jeffries was referring to President Trump and his administration in the original post.

"Professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University notes that progressive academics have done this with Brown before." . . .
