Dems In Their Own Words - Keep Talking
Segment # 339
The Dems have reached a level of self-awareness that they just keep talking with the expectation that the American voter will accept it. I single out Hakim Jeffries as a rising star on the left. He represents the depth of their bench and the parties future aspirations. Considering the past violence in the streets from BLM and Antifa, Jeffries latest call to violence in the streets might be relevant on how far he will go to assume the leadership role for the Dems.
Hakeem Jeffries is a prominent American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for New York's 8th Congressional District since 2013. Here are some key points about his career and current role:
Political Role: He is the House Minority Leader, having been unanimously elected by his colleagues to this position in January 2023. This makes him the highest-ranking Democrat in the House of Representatives and the first person of color to lead a major party in the U.S. Congress.
Background: Born on August 4, 1970, in Brooklyn, New York, Jeffries has a background in law, having worked as an attorney for Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP and as litigation counsel for Viacom Inc. and CBS. He graduated from the State University of New York at Binghamton, Georgetown University (with a master's in public policy), and New York University School of Law.
It is clear that Jeffries will say anything to pander as he aspires to greater leadership roles. Is that unusual? No. But the degree with which he will sell out is.
