It wasn’t all a dream.
One impeachment manager took an unusual approach to answering a Trump attorney’s question: by quoting a legendary rapper from his Brooklyn House district.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) took a line from Notorious B.I.G. on Tuesday when responding to a question from Jay Sekulow, an attorney on President Trump’s impeachment defense team, who asked, “Why are we here?”
“We are here, sir, because President Trump pressured a foreign government to target an American citizen for political and personal gain,” the New York Democrat responded, adding, “We are here, sir, because President Trump solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election and corrupted our democracy.”
“And we are here, sir, to follow the facts, follow the law, be guided by the Constitution, and present the truth to the American people. That is why we are here, Mr. Sekulow. If you don’t know, now you know,” Jeffries said, closing with a line from the rap icon’s 1994 smash hit “Juicy.”
Biggie, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, grew up in Clinton Hill, part of Jeffries’ 8th District.
Tuesday was not the first time Jeffries had paid tribute to Biggie on the House floor.

“It’s a man’s world...”
That makes him look really, really ignorant.
So glad he is not my representative.
You can take a congressman out of the ghetto,
but you can’t always take the ghetto out of that congressman.
Is this the same d-bag that wore a hoodie in support of Thug Martin?

Why yes. Yes it is.
Did he actually bring that poster to the hearings?!
That’s from the previous time he quoted him.
I’ve seen that guy before. He served me fries at a Burger King a long time ago.
Well, no... That was Joe Biden. But thanks for upholding the stereotype you feckless, Socialist, twit.
Fat rapper. Died of gang violence and gross stupidity.
I’ll give him a biggie.
Is a 357 a biggie?
Oh, that should have been a 358, I don’t want the gun grabbers to think I was referring to a firearm, because I wasn’t.
