Democratic Minority leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on Fox News’ Special Edition a day after the massive Democratic party sweep on Tuesday’s election. He did a fine job of explaining what the Democratic Party is and what Republicans are failing to do without falling into the usual Fox News traps set by their hosts.
It’s obvious Republican talking points went out focusing only on Zohran Mamdani’s win after the Democratic Tsunami, conflating him with terrorists and trying to wrap him around the necks of the Democratic party.
Host Bret Baier did his part for their cause and Jeffries did not fall for this ruse and easily swatted it away..
JEFFRIES: That’s what Democrats are all about at this moment, House Democrats in particular.
We recognize that America deserves better than where things are at right now, that we need to drive down the high cost of living. We need to fix our broken healthcare system, and we also need to clean up corruption across the board, in Congress, at the Supreme Court, and of course, as it relates to this administration.
BAIER: You’ve had Democratic socialists like Mamdani win, though, and there have been supporters, including yourself, who, who endorsed him.
But the Democratic Socialists of America, this is what their platform is, abolish mandatory minimums and cash bail, establish universal rent control, greatly reduce U.S. military budget, amnesty for all immigrants, full voting rights to non-citizens, and national popular vote for president.
