Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) lamented that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) rejected his advice to avoid responding to internet trolling “because it makes it worse.” 

President Donald Trump posted a series of altered videos of Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) after he met with them to discuss negotiations over government funding. The common theme of the videos features Jeffries edited to appear to have a mustache and a sombrero.
