Hakeem Jeffries held a press conference after the House adjourned, following RepubliKKKlans’ failure to elect a Speaker of the House. He said to reporters and all those watching in response to the day’s events, “We’re looking for a willing partner to solve problems for the American people, not save the Republicans from their dysfunction. We need a partner in governance to build upon the incredible progress that we made for the American people over the last few years by the way with a similar majority. … The Republican dysfunction is what it is, chaos, crisis, and confusion along with craziness. That’s sad for the American people.”
See, this is why I already like him more than Pelosi. Don’t get me wrong; Pelosi was a fierce fighter, tough as nails, and had a pair of brass balls bigger than any opponent, but she was still rather PC when it came to RepubliKKKlans. Jeffries calling the RepubliKKKlan Party “chaos, crisis, and confusion along with craziness” right out of the gate as the newly elected leader is exactly the not-PC I want to see 9-more of from Democrats. If there is one thing Democratic leadership has failed to do, then it is to call a spade a spade more forcefully and constantly. Leadership needs to call out the RepubliKKKlan Party plainly and at every chance they can. They need to hammer it home: RepubliKKKlans are the party of people who can’t govern, don’t want to govern, and intend to burn everything down.
