| Hakeem Jeffries deflects under pressure. |
Do you want an effective Democratic leadership or another roll over?
Abolish ICE.
Stop funding motherfucking Israel.
Stop taking money from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is the current House Minority Leader who represents the 8th Congressional District of New York. His district is Brooklyn. The district neighborhoods include Coney Island, Manhattan Beach, Georgetown, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brownsville and East New York.
District has a population of 710,000 residents.
Americans are struggling. Jeffries seems to understand but he still contributes all of our taxpayer funds to the Israeli regime.
Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York are extremely ineffective in getting the job done.
So on The Joy Reid Show, the House Minority Leader gets testy when progressive agitator Wahajat Ali questioning the Minority Leader's refusal to outright "abolish ICE".
Jeffries managed to deflect when asked about taking AIPAC funding.
Ali started off by venting ICE was building “concentration camps” to house illegal immigrants and “killed eight people this year alone,” including Renee Good and Alex Pretti. (Pretti was shot by two Border Patrol officers, not an ICE agent.) He also said polling showed Most Americans are turning against President Donald Trump’s ICE raids, which are “terrorizing Black and Brown communities.”
“You said you want to rein in ICE. I’m saying — I’m talking about the long-term now — why not lead and say ‘Abolish ICE’?” Ali asked. He then said Jeffries was telling Americans their tax dollars need to continue going towards a “lawless [and] masked armed agency” and asked how he could explain that to the average American voter.
Jeffries threw up his arms and said “I don’t understand anything that you just said!”
“I spoke English,” Ali shot back.
“I don’t understand anything you just said to me when I’ve made clear that taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for the American people, not brutalize or kill them,” Jeffries continued. “That’s the whole reason we’re in this fight right now, that’s the whole reason that DHS is getting ready to shut down.”
“So Abolish ICE. You agree with me and Joy — Abolish ICE,” Ali said.
“Listen, I’m gonna use the language that I wanna use, you can use the language you wanna use!” Jeffries told him.
Their back-and-forth comes a month after Jeffries called the shooting of Good an “abomination” and said “blood is clearly on the hands of those individuals within the administration who’ve been pushing an extreme policy.”
