“Jeffries didn’t even whip the vote,” one critic said about the House minority leader, who wants to be speaker. “This is why people want a stronger leader.”
As House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries seeks to become speaker when Democrats retake Congress in January, critics questioned his leadership Tuesday after the Republican-led lower chamber effectively blocked a bid to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by just seven votes—an outcome that may have been averted if more Democrats showed up to vote.
The 211-204 procedural vote effectively torpedoed Congressman Thomas Massie’s attempt to impeach Hegseth by sending the outgoing Kentucky Republican’s resolution to the House Judiciary Committee, where it will likely gather dust during the remainder of the GOP-controlled congressional term.
Holy Shit. If he’s being this much a dick now, there’s no way in fucking hell is going to cooperate with the progressive caucus. Sure, you might get your committee assignments, but Dems are pros are strategically sinking progressive policies and there is little doubt in my mind that Jeffries will effectively stifle any movement towards fulfilling the mandates of this election.
There’s that meme, with Nick Offerman, “I said I want ICE abolished and the agents prosecuted”, “I’m afraid you thought I said ‘Rein in ice and conduct oversight’”, no, I said “Abolish ICE and prosecute the agents.”
It’ll be the same as “defund the police” where they’ll spin it as if we didn’t really mean abolish ICE when we said it
Ironically, the pedo GOP quite literally defunded the police in Florida.
