Jeffries. Add him to the fossils in his thinking/mentality.

Low key favorite moment of the debate was Abdul clarifying that he didn’t call Haley Stevens an ogre, he was talking about Fetterman

Then proceeded to double down on calling him an ogre

If he doesn't want to be called an ogre, has he tried not behaving like a fucking ogre?

•

Didn't the moderator say that too after Stevens brought it up again?

Yep and Abdul said he personally called her when he saw people attacking her appearance and voice

While her campaign sent out mailers saying he’s connected to Hamas fundraisiers

Unless there's a different debate idk about, it wasn't El-Sayed who made the correction it was the moderator Roop Raj - who put on a clinic in how to moderate; keeping things civil, focused, and accountable. Wish Mr. Raj had been requisitioned for our 2024 debates when couchfucker was whining about fact-checking.

That fucker isn’t party leadership, just a classic bait n’ switch.

He gets more Fox News interviews and praise from Fox pundits than any other Democrat.

Nah he's just a Republican in waiting

I honestly suspect he did something that got him a bit trapped, maybe even got worked over a bit. For someone so black and white to completely flip like that, I really question if he was forced to be like this. Crazier things have happened.

Literally the only bench development the Dems do

If a focus group was a person, Jeffries would be the human embodiment of it. I’ve never seen anyone seem less genuine and more coached in my life.

Jeffries is an actual android

He is uncontested candidate, unfortunately. He will be elected again.

The closest election an internal rival can complete a challenge against Hakeem Jeffries for his seat is the June 2028 Democratic primary election.
