"In the artificial clip, Schumer is also shown saying that Democrats have no voters left because of our woke, trans bullsh*t and that if we give all these illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get em on our side so they can vote for us. Trump later shared a second clip of Jeffries in a sombrero. Several congressional reporters were present for Dean's dressing down of Johnson over Trump's post and shared the clip online on Tuesday night."
"Not your style? It's disgraceful. It's [inaudible]. It's racist. You should call it out! Dean insisted as Johnson replied, but his audio could not be heard. Is it racist? You put a sombrero on a Black man who's the leader of the House. You don't see that as racist? We need you desperately to lead, Dean then said to Johnson. I'm working on it. It's not personal. I love you, and I respect you, Johnson said, moving to walk away."
Rep. Madeleine Dean challenged House GOP leader Mike Johnson about a social media post from President Trump that used AI to create a deepfake of Hakeem Jeffries wearing a sombrero and a manipulated clip of Chuck Schumer using derogatory language about Democrats and immigrants. The clips used mariachi music and visual stereotypes that drew widespread condemnation as race-baiting. Reporters recorded Dean pressing Johnson to denounce the posts and to exercise leadership, while also urging him to reconsider positions on ACA subsidies and Medicaid cuts ahead of a potential government shutdown. Johnson gave limited responses and moved away during the exchange.
