It goes without saying that the new Democrat House leader will be about the closest thing to a communist he can be without actually calling himself one. Most Democrats are.
But alas, the Democrats will, it seems, go a step farther. An election denier, Hakeem Sekou Jeffries of New York, is the top candidate to replace House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and run the party as minority leader.
After the 2016 election in which Donald Trump crushed the Clinton Machine, Jeffries repeatedly and with a straight face denied that Trump was president.
He was “fake.” He was “illegitimate.” “Russian interference” elected him.
Jeffries was obsessed.
The Tweets
Now chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, Jeffries is every bit the election denier that Democrats say Trump and his supporters are.
“Let’s be clear Donald, only bad (or sick) guy connected to White House is YOU #FakePresident,” he tweeted in March 2017.
About a year later over a story about the federal indictment of Russian spies, Jeffries offered this opinion:
The more we learn about 2016 election the more ILLEGITIMATE it becomes. America deserves to know whether we have a FAKE President in the Oval Office #RussianInterference
“LIE (more than any administration in the history of the Republic.),” he ranted on in 2018:
CHEAT (2016 election/Russian Interference). STEAL (one or two Supreme Court seats). When will Republicans put country ahead of party? #CleanUpCorruption.
“History will never accept you as a legitimate President,” he continued in November 2020, almost four years after Trump beat Clinton.
The GOP research Twitter feed got it right: “Meet Election Denier Hakeem Jeffries — the new leader of the House Democrats,” it tweeted over a sample of the leftist’s deranged rants.
Since Joe Biden’s suspicious victory in 2020, Democrats have said anyone who questions his victory is an “insurrectionist” who threatens “our democracy.”
That standard did not apply to the Democrats who denied that Trump won in 2016, and carried that silly idea to the House floor, where they challenged the certification of the electoral vote. They did the same thing when President George W. Bush beat climate-change hoaxer Al Gore in 2000.
For more than a year, Jeffries has been tweeting the ridiculous conspiracy theory that Republicans “stole” seats on the U.S. Supreme Court:
Senate Republicans stole two Supreme Court seats from Democratic Presidents.
Then express fake outrage when the legitimacy of the Court’s extreme majority is questioned.
Get lost.
Last September, he tweeted the same thing. “Republicans hijacked the Judiciary by stealing two Supreme Court seats,” he wrote.
Upshot: An insurrectionist election denier and conspiracy theorist will soon take charge of House Democrats.
Voting Record
Jeffries’ voting and public-policy record is what one would expect.
Jeffries backs “all gender” restrooms, and tweeted that “radical Republicans want government-mandated pregnancies even in the case of rape or incest. Don’t be surprised if they target Brown v. Board of Education next.”
Right. A political party too terrified to challenge an obviously suspicious election result in Arizona will surely overturn what might be the most significant, if wrongly decided, U.S. Supreme Court case of the last 70 years.
Jeffries is also given to bald lies about “MAGA Republicans”:
Extreme MAGA Republicans want to criminalize abortion care, end Social Security and undermine democracy.
We are the only people standing in their way.
His voting record is actually a shade better than outgoing Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi. His lifetime Freedom Index score is 19 percent versus Pelosi’s 16 percent. Then again, his score for the 117th Congress is a mere three percent; Pelosi’s is four percent.
The soon-to-be Democrat leader’s record needs little elaboration. He’ll offer the usual menu of Democrat policy proposals when he takes over. He’s anti-gun, anti-science, pro-abortion, and pro-”transgender.”
Of course, he voted to create the committee that is investigating the mostly peaceful protest at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. The man in charge of that committee was a radical insurrectionist and apologist for cop killers in the 1970s.
Jeffries believes the preposterous claim that protestors tried to “overthrow the government.”
