After completing his Capitol steps sit-in with Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) wrote an email to his caucus mates. That email has now been leaked. The tone of his email can best be described as "peevish" but perhaps well-considered.
Though Jeffries' publicly avowed position is that "Trump must bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to America so he can be reunited with his family," his email advises fellow Democrats to "stop the El Salvador trips. Polls show that a majority of voters don't want this guy back in our country. They think he's a criminal. Frankly, I fear they may be right. In addition, questions are being raised regarding the number of Congresspersons that should visit him and whether they need to stay in a posh resort at taxpayer expense while there."
Since the leak, Jeffries staffer Christie Stephenson denied that "he has advised backing off on the Abrego Garcia case. When Leader Jeffries says 'more is more' push-back on this lawless administration, he means it. As Leader Jeffries has repeatedly said, House Democrats will never stop fighting for the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. In fact, there is already talk of awarding him reparations for his suffering at the hands of Trump's goons. Jefferies is just waiting for the most appropriate moment to shift the argument in that direction."
I was keeping an open mind about Jefferies, but have come to the conclusion that he is just another hyper partisan douche bag who would oppose motherhood and apple pie if Trump came out in favor of them for no other reason than opposition for opposition’s sake.
As a tolerant and compassionate Democrat, Jeffries has repeatedly said,
House Democrats will never stop fighting for the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
In fact, there is already talk of providing Mr. Garcia reparations for his suffering at the hands of
Trump’s goons, a Congressional Medal of Honor, a fully furnished condo, and a Taco Bell coupon.
Jefferies is just waiting for the most appropriate moment to
get Nancy Pelosi’s okay to shift the argument in that direction.
Let's see... He was stopped while driving without a license, or insurance, or the vehicle's registration. He was also in this country ILLEGALLY, and had a car full of other illegal aliens.
We don't THINK he's a criminal, we KNOW he is a criminal.
Really? The answer is ZERO or alternatively NONE OF Y'ALL! and about taxpayer funded resort lollygagging - NO!
