President Trump claimed Friday afternoon during a visit to New York that home-state Rep. Hakeem Jeffries inspired his demeaning new nickname for Democrats.
“I was thinking about this character we have in the House, his name is Hakeem Jeffries, and he’s a low IQ person, very low IQ,” Trump told his audience in Rockland County.
“And I watched what he was saying, watching the horrible things he was saying, and I said, ‘He’s a dumb guy.’ I said, wait a minute, he’s a ‘Dumocrat’, that’s how I got the name.”
