WATCH: CNBC’s Becky Quick Completely Wrecks Hakeem Jeffries on Shutdown Hypocrisy
NewsBusters ^ | 10/27/2025 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 10/27/2025 11:43:26 AM PDT by JV3MRC

It looks like CNBC Squawk Box co-anchor Becky Quick is fed up with the Democrats’ hypocritical nonsense over the ongoing government shutdown. Quick skewered House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) during the October 24 edition of Squawk Box.

Quick scolded him over Obamacare subsidies: “What you’re asking the Republicans to do right now when they control the White House, the Senate and the House is effectively what the Democrats could not do when they controlled all three heads of government themselves,”

The CNBC personality continued, with Jeffries just staring stone-faced: “The three-year set up for the expiration of these credits was intentionally put in. It was put in when you controlled the White House, the House and the Senate. You couldn’t get it passed for longer.”

Quick then wrapped up: “This is a setup kind of your own creation that you all couldn’t extend beyond that. Now you want the Republicans to do something you didn’t do when you were in power?”

I do not know why the Democrats do not understand this yet, but Hakeem is not a good look for them. He is inarticulate, always trying to remember his script of cliches, and can't think on his feet. You want that as the image for leadership for your party? Be my guest!

Somethings wrong here, Becky stated facts and asked a relevant question in a scenario where the Dems goofed. CNBC is going to reprimand her.

Why are the Dems subsidizing Insurance companies? If I were in Congress, I’d be taking on the Medical Industrial Complex and their Cartels. Price fixing by Monopolies is corrupt.

Hakeem said he was too busy to endorse Mandami. Hakeem said the shutdown government was keeping him too busy. If the government is shutdown, shouldn’t dollar store obama have more time on his hands?

One thing for sure, his hands are too busy, they never get a rest especially when he is talking.
