Rep. Jeffries speaks eloquently when discussing policy and addressing the press, but he stammers and distracts when asked direct questions about Abolish ICE and cutting ties with AIPAC.

Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries apparently couldn’t “understand” me when I asked him why our taxpayer dollars should continue funding a masked, armed, lawless Gestapo that murders Americans and terrorizes our cities.

I was speaking English, and my microphone wasn’t muted.

Money. He brags about he is good at getting it like he was a fiscal conservative.

Like Schumer he's there to be the lightning rod for attention. Which he does fantastically but for the wrong reasons

He has to take AIPAC money because no individual supports his bullshit
