House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) appeared to grow frustrated when asked if President Donald Trump had plunged the country into a constitutional crisis. CNN's Dana Bash said on Thursday's Inside Politics, "The Trump administration is finding ways to defy the courts on a few fronts right now," citing the case of a Maryland father wrongly deported to an El Salvadoran prison, and the White House's refusal to allow the Associated Press to cover the administration. "Sir, I know that you have said that the president defying court orders would create a constitutional crisis. Are we there?" "Certainly, we're in a crisis across the board," Jeffries answered. "I mean, that is obvious for everyone to see. This is not normal. The president is assaulting the economy, assaulting social security, assaulting health care, assaulting the American way of life, and assaulting our democracy. None of this is normal. It is all a crisis."

"How is that not a constitutional crisis?" Bash interrupted. "I said that we are in a crisis across the board!" Jeffries snapped. "We are in a crisis across the board in every way possible, including the assault on the democratic way of life. Now the courts are going to have to aggressively enforce its — we are in a crisis! We've apparently been in a crisis, I think, since January 20th, across the board. We're in an economic crisis, we're in a democracy crisis, we're in a crisis as it relates to the assault on health care, the assault on social security — none of this is normal."
