Today’s quote comes to us from current House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
According to an X post, during a Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) victory party, when Jeffries’ face appeared on-screen, a chant went up: “You’re next!”
And what was Jeffries’ reaction?
“It was very interesting to me, as observed by others, that there was almost zero diversity in that crowd.”
So that’s it? So Hakeem Jeffries’ reaction to the DSA is that the people who seem to be taking over his party – the ones who clearly want him gone because, liberal/left though he is, it’s not leftward enough for them – the ones he endorsed let’s remember, are a bunch of racists? That’s the best he can come up with?
I award Hakeem Jeffries Quote Of The Day “honors” for learning a belated lesson; one that I am betting Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is learning as well: that, while they were happy to accept their endorsements, DSA members do not want them in positions of power. And also that DSA members may have become strong enough within the party to do something about it.
I hope Jeffries and Schumer are happy with what the Democrat Party is rapidly becoming and what it will mean for their futures. They certainly should be, since they oversaw it.
