Democrats Elect Hakeem Jeffries to Lead House Minority with Pelosi Resigning Daily Wire: House Democrats on Wednesday elected New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries — who has repeatedly painted conservatives as racists — as their leader, making him the successor to Nancy Pelosi, who led the House Democrats for decades and served as speaker when her party was in the majority (Daily Wire). National Review: Jeffries will be the House minority leader come January, when Republicans retake control of the chamber. He said hopes to find “common ground when possible” with Republicans but will “oppose their extremism when we must” (National Review).
Jeffries’ leftist rhetoric over the years has included saying of Kyle Rittenhouse, “Lock up Kyle Rittenhouse and throw away the key,” prompting Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) to fire back, “If this isn’t proof that the Democrat Party has largely departed from American principles of neutrally applied justice and the right of self-defense, then I don’t know what is.”
In July 2021, Jeffries, who was named one of seven impeachment managers by Pelosi in the Senate impeachment trial of former President Trump, ripped Republicans for their efforts to restore election integrity across the nation while branding them as racists, tweeting, “The Civil War ended in 1865 and the racists lost. Get over it.”

Jeffries supported amnesty to violent illegals with gang ties and criminal sex offenders. And opposed requiring the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to submit a report detailing “the potential for an alien with ties to the Taliban or an associated terrorist organization to obtain a visa” via the amnesty plan, was blocked by Democrats.
The Supreme Court majority has zero legitimacy.
Ghosts of the confederacy are alive and well.

In September, Jeffries claimed that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and fellow Republican and Texas Governor Greg Abbott were “behaving like human traffickers” after DeSantis sent 50 illegal immigrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
Hakeem Jeffries called the 2016 election ILLEGITIMATE. Why are Democrats electing an ELECTION DENIER to lead their party? Where is the media outrage labeling Jeffries a THREAT to Democracy?

Small consolation but the guy has the I.Q. of a houseplant.
You obviously have him confused with Herschel Walker.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Hey Hakeem, when is Guam going to tip over?
That was a different Affirmative Action politician who made that stupid statement.
He is a fair election denier and swears that there was vote fraud in 2016 and says that the Russians were involved in getting Trump elected. He is a horrible choice but the liberal commie demos do not have much to choose from. Food thing that the Republicans have a majority in the house.
IQ of a lobotomized Waters and the appeal of a green snot rocket hanging off schumers snork.
Can you imagine this extreme far left insanity as future majority leader?!
To Republicans these days a far leftist is anybody to the left of Steve Bannon or Heinrich Himmler.
Ain’t Affirmative Action just swell?
Minority leader, my a__. Watch McCarthy and GOPe help Dems elect him Speaker of the House if the whiney little RINOs don’t get their way.
