Top Democratic leaders have accused former President Donald Trump of endangering elected officials. They say his recent social media comments could encourage violence.
In a statement, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries condemned Trump's words. They specifically objected to his use of the term "seditious conspiracy."
The Democrats stated that this language directly threatens the safety of lawmakers. They warned it increases the risk of political violence against public officials.
This criticism follows Trump's allegations against six members of Congress. He made the accusations on his Truth Social platform.
