Whoops: What the Heck Did Hakeem Jeffries Just Say After the Speaker Vote?

The battle over the Speaker vote was actually resolved perhaps more quickly than people anticipated, with Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA) winning on the first vote, despite the reservations of some Republicans.

But the remarks by the House Democratic Leader, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), also got some attention — of the "whoops, what did he just say" variety.

"We will fart hard...fight hard...for the freedom to vote," Jeffries said.

Um, okay. That was pretty funny. That's one that's likely going to get memed all over the place.

But on the full statement, what the heck is he talking about? Who is being denied the right to vote? You can see the larger comment doesn't make any sense either.

But Jeffries wasn't done yet with the false comments. He then tried to do an Obama imitation (notice that finger-pointing thing that Barack Obama used to do), calling on people to come together. In the next breath, he attacked Republicans, saying, "There are no election deniers on our side of the aisle."

He was responding to a lot of cheering for President-elect Donald Trump winning the election.

Hakeem Jeffries claims “there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.”

I guess he’s never heard of Hillary Clinton or Stacey Abrams? 🤔

My guess is tht Jefferies (aka, Dime Store Obama) wants states to mimic California. That is, vote early and often, without any ID.
